Thank You Greg Chappell for 2 years of preparation. Now please go and try selling your Chappell Ways to some other country.

Yeah.

This is the worst Indian performance in a World Cup since 1975 and credit must go to the 'processes' that were put in place by Dravid and Chappell. This team was not going to succeed as predicted by many and the obvious reason for that is majority of this team was built of mediocre players like Kumble, Sehwag, Pathan, Harbhajan, Uthappa, Agarkar, and Dhoni, Santh. And rest of the players likeTendulkar, Ganguly, Yuvraj and Dravid haven't been the match winners they once used to be.

kumble is in your mediocre players' list??

 

[adharcric]

I just hope nobody back home does something idiotic when the team returns. This World Cup has been depressing enough already.

 

[Dravid]

17 run over

 

[Kweek]

4x4 nice

 

[Barney Rubble]

India not out of this while Dravid is still at the crease, for mine. Especially after that 16-run over from Malinga.

EDIT: LOL, Dravid gets out. Game gone, goodbye India.

 

[Anil]

dravid trying to go down swinging....

 

[adharcric]

I think I'll just shut up for the next hour. Don't want a Greigy against my own team.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not enough support from the other end, you'd think.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And there goes Dravid's end.

last flare before the fire goes out...

 

[Dravid]

Well. Save us bermuda

kumble is in your mediocre players' list??

If you look at his ODI performances for last 4-5-6 years, yes he is mediocre, add his batting and fielding and that is even worse.

 

[Natman20]

Dravid gone

 

[Pratters]

dravid is not a great captain true, but there aren't too many other options right now...other than maybe bringing back ganguly now that he has found some form(i have my doubts on how that will work out)....i know that sachin is not the only batsman in the team, but he is by far the most experienced and this kind of clutch situation should have brought out the best in him, the fact that it didn't shows not only that he is past his best(that has been evident for some time), but also that we desperately need fresh faces in the team and even a tendulkar shouldn't be "undroppable"...

Who is saying Tendulkar or other seniors are undroppable right now? It is stupid that you say you want a major overhaul in the team and think it will happen while retaining the captain as the captain is (or should be) the main mind behind the team and even if you change several players, it wont cause much difference if the management remains the same more often than not as shakeups haven't happened, mindsets remain.

Incorrect. Kumble has been worse than mediocre for the last few years. He's been a very very poor ODI player.

 

[maxpower]

well played SL....

 

[cricman]

I love Murali!!! Dravid played a good knock though

 

[Raghav]

Well I was going to say that, but I knew you were out there to cover for me.
