Over-confidence of a cricket team who believe anything is possible and sometimes it is not!

sorry raj. i love india as much as u do but being realistic if they get even a 100 sachin tendulkars or rahul dravids they won't be able to win it. i feel pained to say that we indians just do not have in our genes to be winners in any field ( feeling very insulted) but can't help this is how we are and we should learn to live as it is.

Today's bad phase cannot be considered as end of Indian Cricket.  India will defenitely come out of the present bad form and come back strongly in the world cup 2007.

Indians do play football. However they are not good enough to qualify for the World Cup. They are the champions in the SAARC tournament, which involves teams from Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh, etc.\nGiven the craze of cricket and field-hockey, soccer is not much encouraged on a professional level much. Hence India lacks world-class players in the field.

Ofcourse they can>I believe they had even tried recently but they did not have any good players and their performance was pathetic to sya the least.They will have to promote Cricket,develop good players and then form a Cricket Team which is atleast somewhat of International Calibre.

The basic problem I have observed is that Indian Batsman fail to tackle the short pitched rising deliveries as most of the batsmen were out against such deliveries.  South African bowlers made full use of the weakness of Indin Batsman by pitching the ball short and bringing the ball to the chest height of the batsman.

Simply because of the following reasons:\n\n1)  Players did not play to their potential.\n2)  Batsmen did not bat according to the demand of the situationm.\n3)  Bowlers did not bowl accurately with proper line and length.\n4)  Fielders did not show required athletism in the field.\n5)  Plays lacked dedication, committment, fighting spirit and urge to wion.\n6)  Tactical mistakes in the batting order and selection of final 11

This is one of the smartest things the BCCI has ever done. If Indian players are paid by how well they played, they'll be motivated to play harder and India might actually win some matches. Also, all of the old players will be treated the same as the new players and people will be paid fairly.

The main reason is the Pitches in Sub-continent is slow and batsmen can go for big shots easily because of that. So, bowling department get more relaxed and don't bother about how the score or what will be the score. Then there is tremendous ground support as well. When you have played a lot of cricket in sub-continent pitches and then you go to play in conditions like west indies or australia, the batsmen will automatically go for defensive shots and do a lot of mistakes, because the ball comes very quick with lot of movements. Indian bowlers are doing a pretty good job now, but they or not getting good support from the batting side while playing abroad. \n\nIndia have to produce more pacy pitches, that will help definitely for Indian batsmen as well as the bowlers.

as of now it may seem that its going great, but with the lack of senior players n expertise, they r not gonna get too far... young talent is a must but the real test will be when they play outside the subcontinent n on some real bouncy tracks... the management shud realise the urgency of experienced players in the team... else in the long run, its not gonna get far..

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.\nNORTH INDIANS..PARTICULARLY MUMBAI,DELHI BOYS CAN GET THE BIRTH IN TEAM.\nAND THEY REMAIN LONG WITHOUT JUSTIFYING THEIR STAY IN SQUAD.\nAJIT AGARKAR IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE.\nWITHOUT DOING ANYTHING USEFUL HE COULD STAY IN TEAM.\nIF YOU LISTEN THE MUMBAI COMMENTATORS SHARPLY, THEY PRAISE AGARKAR BEYOND HIS ABILITY.\nTHEY APPLAUD FOR HIS REVERSE SWING{!} ABILITY.\nSOUTH PRODUCED MANY SKILLFUL PLAYERS LIKE MURALI KARTHIK,SHRIRAM.BHADRINATH,AND MANY MORE.\nBUT THE SELECTORS..WHO ARE ALL NORTH INDIANS..IGNORE THEM ALWAYS.\nIF MURALI KARTHIK PLAYS A MATCH..YOU CAN BET THAT INDIA WILL LOOSE.COZ, THE BCCI INCLUDING HIM IN A MATCH THAT WAS MUTUALLY NEGOTIATED AND FIXED TO LOOSE ALREADY.\nAFTER THAT MATCH KARTHIK WILL BE OMITTED FOR LONG TIME.\nANOTHER INSTANCE..DO YOU REMEMBER SANJAY BANGAR..?\nA BELOW AVERAGE PLAYER TO BE COMPARED WITH DOMESTIC LEVEL.\nBCCI BROUGHT HIM TO WC 2003.\nHE NEVER PLAYED A MATCH IN WC.\nBUT HIS TOURNAMENT SALARY WAS.. BELIEVE ME..50 LAKHS.\nAFTER WC HE WAS NOT SELECTED TO TEAM.\nMAY BE SELECTED FOR WC 2007. WHO KNOWS..?\nTHERE WAS A NEWS THAT BALAJI HAS INJURY.\nBCCI SENDS SACHIN TO ABROAD TO TREATMENT.\nWHY THEY DIDN'T SEND BALAJI ATLEAST ONCE.?\nBALAJI THROWN IN THE BIN DUE TO INJURY.\n\nIF THE SELECTORS SELECT THE TEAM HONESTLY, WE CAN BEAT ANY TEAM.\nEVEN WE CAN FORM 10 TEAMS AND SEND THEM TO VARIOUS COUNTRIES AT A TIME.\nWE HAVE TALENT.\nBUT NO TRUE SELECTORS WHO ARE CONSIDERING THE NATIONS PRIDE.\n\nTILL THAT WE HAVE TO WATCH SADLY AUSSIES AND S.A. TEAMS WINNING WC.

Definitely for the SA tour they could have taken a different approach in view of the world cup.\nWe know the ability and performance of the above players who are not consistent recently. So there was an obligation to test the ability of the other players who are not in the team now as well as new talents. \nSo in the SA tour itself these players could have been avoided and Ganguly, Dineshkarthik, Yograj Singh, Badarinath, Rohit Sarma, YMahesh and let the above players to perform in the coming domestic matches...\nHowever the people who have the right to take decision are thinking some other way...They are not thinking the others are also Indians and they will get chance for India only...\n\nSo some of the poor guys may follow \nKP Bhasker, former Delhi captain who was the most prominent, had an average of 70+ for continous 5 years in domestic cricket never got an entry to the national team only because of our poor selection strategy. \nor\nsome may get a chance at their olden age like Robin Singh has been selected.\n\nSo itz their choice, If the nation wins or looses that makes no difference for them.They are their to rule, control and fool us...
