Should Bangladesh and Zimbabwe be knocked out of international cricket? If so, should they be replaced?

Bangladesh - NO.  They are just finding their feet, the have an enormous population to make it work, they have proximity to India where they can play Indian ODI trophy cricket to improve the quality of their own domestic league.  They beat Australia in a ODI game last year and almost beat them in a test this year.\n\nZimbabwe - YES.  They are self destructing due to the manipulations of the government and the exile of most of the best Zimbabwe cricketers.  With the highest inflation rate in the world and an ailing president taking the country down with him cricket has little chance of maintaining the funding and infrastructure to compete at the international level.  They are just about to end a suspension from test cricket but with both the first 11 and second choice 11 having been chased out of the national team they are unlikely to be even remotely competitive.

Of course, Ganguly should be brought back and should also be made the captain.\nHis records as captain are much better than anyone else.\nIndia will definitely defeat Australia and no one can stop India from winning the World Cup this time.\nGanguly is a victim of the deep politics going on between the selectors and the BCCI.

I believe blame of this thumping defeat should go to Chappel; just because his principle is awfull and much self-centered politician like. He is experimenting with batting order for long and this time it is total failure. His experiment with batsmen count or bowler count in the final team is also horrible. He is making the team more pathetic day by day by making everybody dependent. The more often changes what he is making should stop otherwise India is heading for a really gloomy future.

Bangladesh should not have a test status. Thats what Ponting said before, Thats what he took back and apologized and Thats what he will say again after this series.

ICC is definitely unjust to Indian team. Similar instances took place in the past also. Hope people remember the episode which happened in South Africa 5 years ago when Shewag was banned from playing a test match for excessive appealing.  Similar ban was Given for Sourav Ganguly on various occasions. But such a thing is never heard for Australian or English players. Still Cricket keep the Colonial traditions were Indians are considered inferior to others. BCCI should react strongly to such incidents and show ICC a lesson. Without  Indian money , how can they survive? They should remember that Test matches in India are still played in front of full galleries. Who can except such a situation in England, West indies or New zealand?

The first person is talking nonsense.BCCI is not free to do whatever it likes on it's home soil.the ICC will never allow tampering with the pitches.Besides the umpires are of the ICC Elite Panel so why will they be influenced by the BCCI.Also the match referee is always a foreigner like Mike Procter or Ranjan Madugalle.Why will they get influenced by the BCCI?As regards India's loss get a life people.This is sport,you win some and you lose some.We lost because we did not play well so we will improve our game and bounce back.You yourself are saying that some time back we were playing so well so trust me we will play well once again.Losing one series is not the end of the world.

no chance. it will be just too tough. they'll really have to search hard to find genuine pace bowlers. the only people they can rely now on are umar gul, danish kaneria, and naved ul hassan. and hope for the best in the world cup and rely on their batting line-up to win matches.

Yeah you are right. It should give equal apportunity to both, otherwise very soon we'll not be having any quality Seam/Swing/Spin bowler. There will be only bits and pieces bowlers.

NOW IT IS GOOD TIME FOR GREG CHAPPEL AND RAHUL DRAVID TO LEAVE THE SEAT OF COACH AND CAPTAIN RESPECTIVELY.  THE MORALE OF ALL PLAYERS IS DOWN BECAUSE OF THESE TWO PERSONS.  ANY YOUNG PLAYER SHOULD BE GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CAPTAIN.  COACH SHOULD BE INDIAN WITH WHOM OUR PLAYER DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS FRANKLY.

ALL THE BATSMEN ARE OUT FORM. WHENEVER THERE IS CAPTAIN APPOINTED WITH THE CONTROVERSY THE TEAM HAS  NOT PERFORMED WELL.

You are living under the shadows of india, your politicians are corrupt and no leader in Bangladesh now a days can stand for his country. I think that is the main reason for the neglections.

I am sorry I don't agree with the argument that Mr Chapell is responsible for the Indian teams dismal performance in the last 1 year. It is purely depends on the individual player's performance. They have not practised enough for the SA tour.They are very reluctuant to learn from their mistakes, and new skills. I think generally our players are not mentally strong They never have had shown their prowess or guts in the important matches. They never want to practise on the simulated fast tracks or cemented pitches or bowling machines etc. On the whole they never had a professional attitude towards the sport, not good students of the game. They always want to touch the peak in the sport in short time and wants publicity, money, glamour etc in their lives. They lack commitment to correct their flaws in the technique. What a coach who sit out in the pavillion can do? when players have to perform on the field. He can only guide them. Finally it is up to the players to take the tips and perform on their own in the field. The situation doesn't change even if the coach is changed. Even God virtually becomes the coach of our team the things will not change without the active participation of the players themselves. Anyway this is my opinion which is coming out of frustration after yesterday's annihilation in the hands fo SA.

In Harare 2004, Sri Lanka Bowled  them out to 35 inside 18 overs. Thats their lowest total ever and Lowest total by any international team in ODI's.

They are not the best at the moment. They were good in the past when they had some scary fast bowlers like Ambrose, Holding etc. Now they have good players but they lack experience.
