> The day after .. let the tamasha start

^^ agree with you params.
But tell me who will not want money?

I agree to what you saying, like they shouldn't do ads, but they are offered in crores man? Any normal person will not say no to crores.

Still i agree with you, if they can they should say no to ads.
But they would have signed contracts. its tuf to get out of it

my suggestion :

India should withdraw from upcoming 20-20 world cup

or send completely different team all the 15 players are who missed the bus to WI.

Yes the Indian clots would play better than their seniors

when is 20 20 cup scheduled?

Sometime in next year...

I don't agree.
Being a true fan doesn't mean a blind fan.
There is no doubt about this. This is no defeat we are looking at, this is a collosal defeat. You cannot make it to 8 top teams in the world?? And then you expect no backlash?
I don't think you need to destroy their houses but if people are angry then they have a right to be angry.

I am a fan of cricket(irrespective of who i be on, i am not a blind supporter) but when they play badly they need to be told that they played badly.




Now coming to serious issues
Lets see what is being said. That we need to put in young blood. sack all the present team. this is what i call utter foolishness
Who do we have to go back to?
People should know that Kaif was actually booted out cos of the indian fans only and rightfully also(remember his string of ducks last year) or Raina, the guy flopped badly.
Uthapa, did he do anything to show that he belongs to the team?

If there were any good spinners around we won't be turning to Kumble right now. Is powar a young player?

Its all very well talking right now to get new blood, but there is no damn new blood. You can put them and then you are going to lose very regularly to Bangladesh. Can us Indians tolerate that?(some might say yes now but 2 months down the line, India vs Australia and you have some so called "young brigade" which flops, will you stand by them

you won't. GET REAL.
You can't sack anyone. There is no backup. Change the captain. Lets start nurturing people 1 by 1 but i don't think we can do anything else.

Yeah. as i said, there are other ways in which you can punish the cricketers.
Anger, frustration, disapp, yes even i have. But it is not gonna help us in any way.

Bringing in new blood? They can rope in a few, but the tried and tested are the ones who will again top if they are sacked, they will surely force their way back into the team. One can't stop that.

But they can look for new players.
Its time they build a team placing more importance on

1. fielding
2. running between the wickets.
3. ppl who play for the team.

IMHO, kaif will surely be back. Irfan will be hav emore work to do.
New faces, piyush would come into the team.

Bhajji, sehwag would be dropped.
Tendulkar would be rested. But only he will know that he is dropped. Others would stay in the team.

But if they start to look beyond the 15, they might have another 5 players to fill in the shoes.

India has produced about 10-15 fast bowlers in the last 2- 3 years, not even 1 express bowler. Munaf is know to bowl at 145-150 at times, he is bowling line and length. But why not at that speed?

And indians should never again give into this talk of GREAT INDIAN BATTING LINE UP. it has never delivered when it really mattered. But i really wonder how the trinity scored 10k runs and india still doesn't have enuf to boast of a wonderful team and records?

A pity!
Still i would like to extend my support.
A few players shud be punished. But not crusified.

i mean you have again dodged the question

Let me go player by player

Drop sehwag - (rested if you wanna call it that.) ok done. -1 to squad
Drop tendu, -2
Drop pathan ? -3

Ok what about
Uthapa ?(give more chances... again what has he done to deserve them?)
Agarkar... has to go imo


Now bring back Kaif... fine.. and he flops again(he did just sometime back 10 in a row) would you keep him?
Piyush - no idea

Who else is the new player?

Powar - no
Sehwag isn't old also
Raina - flopping regularly and bad technique, was exposed completely. So you play him?


I am out of names. I don't see who you are gonna replace these people with.

And bowling, imo India should start worrying about finding a spinner, I don't see any new one coming with talent and we never have produced good consisten fast bowlers(consistent is the word keeping in mind balaji, VRV, and before that there were some others, one from orrisa)

I don't agree with u guys, we all know how australia does it.. I mean look at them they forced waugh brothers into retirement just to groom young blood, so was the case with hayden and gellispie, and they would do it for ponting if he fails in couple of matches. There should be some competition to get into the team and the inclusion should only be on the current form and not to one's past heroics, in india one is assured of his place if he scores a century against bermuda for atleast one more year. Cricket is evolving , but it is sad to say that we in asia still play it in old fashioned way.
