King Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup I think the batters were miserable. I have more reasons to think the batting was one that just couldn't do well. Since the WI tour of India, it has been a rarity for the team to bat full 50 overs. Rarely do they bat 50 overs whether chasing or setting target. I think the ODIs are won by the batters while the test matches by the bowlers. India needs batters that aren't scared and can watch every ball out of the hand. Only Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh from the current team can only be retained. Perhaps Ganguly and Dravid may even want to call off their ODI career. There is no point hanging around if they are not going to be able to play the next world cup. Even if a whole sale changes are made in the batting department, India cannot do any badly given their achievement in ODIs. It will not be easy this phase as India will lose left, right and center still but lest it won't be guys like Tendulkar, Ganguly, Rahul and the rest under performing. Link to comment

Zooter Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup Didn't we win like 14 straight chasing?!?!?! ugh I just don't know. Link to comment
King Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup Mostly in Indian conditions Zooter. Make no mistake batting can look too good when you bat on a pitch that doesn't have anything in it for the bowlers. India has done badly barring the Paksitan series when they had to play away from the pitches that was gold for batters. Link to comment
vroomfondel Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup No way. We were totally undercooked coming into the WC. Go back to Salil's post about SL finalizing their 15 players 6-8 months before the WC, and we did it based on the last couple of matches. SHYTE preparation -- chappel, dravid, management, senior players they all dropped the ball. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup indian batting stars failed miserably... 1. Sehwag seems to be fine now....he needed one big knock...but his confidence will be down now.... 2. Sachin....total disaster... 3. Ganguly....a joke... left his brain in his room... 4. Dravid...tried to put up a fight..but had no guts to last ..and lost hope.. 5. Dhoni - a bad series for him... i know he can do better than this it was a lesson for him 6. Yuvi - Lone fighter...but luck was not with him.. Culprits - Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid, Sehwag, Dhoni Link to comment
MundaPakistani Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup Just one of those world cups. That 5/2 collapse against BAN happened at the worst possible time and put the team under immense pressure. Link to comment

Rohan495 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Reason for being thrown out of the World cup Selectors, Coach, and the senior players. I always believed that Indian selection commitee was a joke. Selecting Uttapha, Making Kumble 12th man, and honestly its time that Harbhajan makes way for Powar. Harbhajan is becoming more and more predictable and more and more useless. Link to comment
