When my son play hockey, if they did not get up right away and said they were hurt, the coach made them sit out a few shifts.  It was amazing how the number of 'it really hurts coach' incidents dropped.  They were often doing it to draw penalties.\n\nIf they are exaggerating injuries, maybe a bench time rule after an injury would be a good idea.

It is hard to tell. Nobody is playing well. Mediocre players, mediocre teams.

Highly doubtful.\nThey have a pretty good core of guys, and if the defense (and Hasek!) stays healthy, they should have a decent year.\nAny team can win on any given day in the NHL, but there are quite a few teams with more talent in the league.  \nI'd love to see them hold up the cup again, but I doubt it will happen soon....:(

To some extent if you are referring the cricket.5 days,full day for a single game,it is too much.\nOur hockey is far far better as within two hours the game is over.But alas there is no interest and no money for the players,i feel sorry for the National game.\nIf people do not go to see the cricket matches the trend can be reversed.One can not imagine how much loss is being generated\nby wasting manpower and also in betting.

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.

1) Over confidence\n2) Greg Chapple did to break all the players confidence\n3) changes made loss of confidece\n4) Dravid failed as a captain and with greg chapple\n5) Greg Chapple has to go \n6) Give these palyer base salary kind of things and if he is batsman then what he make runs depends on that it has to pay the money not by the palyer in team only\nIf he is a bowler then if he get wickets then paid them and if take more then 3 wickets give them bonus so player can have intrest paly.\nHere they paid lots of money without they doing anything\nget penalty if they don't play properly

LACK OF BOWLING.\n\nRAIN IS NOT THE PRIME FACTOR.

A better question is why is hockey still going on.

Yes its the problem of team management. It already over casted the probelm of bad light. So if the players were informed about the D/L laws, India could win, like not being all out, giving lesser run rates etc. If Chappel dont know these countings, he should be fired. He is always assisted with a statistician. He should be aware and plan the game accordingly. If india lost the game in counting of figures, chappel should b blamed.

Above all, re-sign the Sedins and Anson Carter.  They've got chemistry on a team that is otherwise sadly lacking in it.  They need to pick up a top notch goaltender (Dan Cloutier was NOT getting it done; streaky regular seasons, horrendous playoffs. Why'd they extend his contract? Idiots!).  Sign Jovo and make him captain.  Pick up a defenseman who knows how to hit rather than skilled Dmen who'd rely too much on the poke check.

I think it was \nTHEIR INABILITY TO ADJUST AND ADAPT TO THE FOREIGN CONDITIONS...\n\nCoz i dont think this team is Over Confident...\n\nMaybe a little complacent during the first two matches...\n\nAnd also i feel that Indian Team looses hope very easily...when the lost the 2nd and the 3rd match...\n\nThey were not able to pull themselves up, as i guess their morale and self confidence plunges after they loose....

Unfortunately the performance of the Indian Team is very pathetic of late.   The present situation calls for drastic and harsh action from the Cricket Board.  I strongly feel that as a first step to improve the performance, payment to the players should be linked to their performance instead of graded system presently in force.  Once this is done, players will be forced to leave their complacency and try hard to earn their money by performing better, which ultimately turn around fortune of Indian Team

no point picking one or two people in the team for losing. Their team sucks. Poor batting, fielding and bowling.\nI think they will get whipped by India. I am saying India will win 4-1 in the ODI series and 2-0 in the tests.
