King Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yup that's been pretty much this Indian team's achievement. I don't care the kind of reputation or past records these senior cricketers have but get rid of them all ASAP. Guys like Karthik, Sreesanth, Munaf, Ganguly, Kumble, Zaheer and the rest that show a lot of attitude should simply take lead in this team. A lot of players including the senior ones have been part of one of the biggest losers in Indian cricket on several occassions. I suppose there was a writing on the wall what with the pasting in SA of 5-0, 4-1 in West Indies, failing to make to ICC champions trophy semi finals, Malaysia triseries failure et al We were pretty blind not to notice it. I think barring 4-5 guys the rest of the players should be dropped forever from the one day team and build a new team. Make Karthik or Sreesanth the captain and am sure the Indian cricketers won't do badly than the current team. Link to comment
Mandrake Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians this is as worse a disgrace that ever was....made a complete fool of us for following this bunch of losers Link to comment
Birbal3 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians Make Karthik the captain..hahahahahahahaaaaaa... I think the short term solution is to REINSTATE Ganguly as captain...and have Yuvraj as his vice Captain.. and GET RID of that cancer of Indian cricket Greg Chappell...ASAP... Link to comment
King Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians I won't take the easy option of blaming the captain and the coach Birbal. I would want to see the coach go of course but that is not the reason we lost. As for captaincy Ganguly himself doesn't want it. Yuvraj is not a bad choice for captain. Keep Tendulkar as far as possible from decision taking. Appointing him as a vice captain was a disgrace. I wonder what does Karthik needs to do to get into the team??? Link to comment
ali0786 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians Ravi, you should also add Pakistanis to that title, as we're even worse. Link to comment

I agree coach should go. But what will sacking Dravid solve ? How the hell is he responsible for the ENTIRE team's capitulation ? Link to comment

King Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians Good luck Veer, you are an eternal optimist. I used to be like ya but not anymore. You are expecting a team that lost to Bangladesh by 5 wickets to lift the cup. Already the permutations and combinations are being worked out about how can India proceed to the next round let alone lift the world cup. Link to comment
Inside_edge Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians I can see some more impromptu 'Jeet lo dil' series coming soon to assuage the pain.At least these defeats will do world of good to our bilateral relation.We will have a common agenda to bitchh abt while rakin up tons on belters. How sweet! Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Can't bat, can't bowl and can't field, We're Indians This may all be part of PCB & BCCI's plan to get a masala ODI series between Ind & Pak going, while the world cup goes on in the Carribean. Imagine the loss in revenue for ICC, when Ind-Pak play a 5 ODI series, scheduling games, on every important game day in the world cup :hic: Link to comment

You wait for 2-3 years for this day, and this is what you get?? In the name of preparation for WC, we forgave many losses.. but this is just not forgivable even if we win WC.. my one dream was to see SRT lift WC.. but after today, i dont care if SRT, RD end their career without WC.. they need to know that they are not their for freaking vacation.... they are their for their country.. gradually we need to turn to other sports.. nation of billion cant get stuck with cricket and still have these kinda results.. and here is the best opportunity.. early exit from WC.. god doesnt want this many people to pray at the same time for India in next WC.. soo he is easing the pain for the future..
