Still we have 2 more matches...People have to think about the experience of the players in the squad.Except very few cricketers all are almost a year experienced players.Experience wise our team is as equal to current Zimbabwe team but in short span of time India produced one wonderful all-rounder(Pathan) and a very good wicket-keeping batsman(Dhoni) which has never happened before.India still trying out with Raina,Munaf,RP Singh,Venugopal Rao,Powar in an international pitch..Remeber there is no Sachin,Ganguly,Laxman,Kumble,Nehra or Zaheer in this team which absolutely did nothing in the previous tour.Still i believe India is marching bravely to the World cup 07..these hiccups are needed to correct their mistakes!!
Talking about yesterdays match India about to set around 300+..Some cheap run-outs spoiled the show..Good show by Kaif yet again..This is his 2nd 50 in this series...
I wonder where are the people who were enjoying by critcizing Kaif?? Waiting for the failiure from Kaif?

Another defeat overseas. This time against WI !
Wonder if we went with any strategy !
Adding fuel to the fire, Dravid says , ITS A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR US !
Difficult to imagine a situation if Dravid fails............
Most horrible thing to hear was the wry comment from Greg Chappell that WI lost their way of winning ! Lara says, he took this comment in right earnest, pepped his team mates and went on to win the series
Well done Mr. Chappell !

Anna,
You cant expect India to win all the matches/series right? Ofcourse if you look at the second and third match closely its almost belongs to India! Very very minor mistakes turned the plate! Those matches are not worst lose! Accepted WI does not have any great bowlers but still you have to think these things..
*Many of the player's playing their first International(Away from Sub-Continent)
* Raina,Pathan,Sreesanth,Powar,Dhoni all are very new players playing for the first time in a different condition.
And...when somebody says that "Hey dump! You cant do this" then it will defnitely add fuel to the burning fire and yeah Chappel is also a reason!!
I am really surprised why people didn appreciated (16 continuese victories,eventhough all played at sub-continent) India's performance and now after a series of loses questioning India's power?? Dont you thing its a bit biased comments passed by you guys??
Vettriyay pol tholviyum nalladhu,It always corrects your mistakes..
So lets stop bashing Indian players and we will encourage them!!

Sanguine dear
Dont you realise that the WI bowling is sub standard
I am asking you one basic question....
Why close finishes during 1st and 2nd ?
we should have won EMPHATICALLY & not this nail biting way.....
My only concern now is whether this team can get us the world cup !
Is this the right time to build a new team for world cup ?
Sanguine, the recent victories have been achieved in sub continent pitches ( you yourself pointed out )
Are we capable of facing a team like Australia today ?
the new england team is emerging stronger as every day passes by ...
Even SA are not far behind
Not to speak about Pakistanis
IMO, the above 4 teams are superior today when compared to our strength though we might have beaten England and Pak recently....
Also, OF LATE, THERE IS OVER DEPENDANCE ON DRAVID who actually is not a versatile one day player like Sachin or Ganguly but somehow is managing ....
If Dravid fails, the team crumbles
the face saving was Yuvi ( continues to fascinate me with his cover drives and swing over mid wicket ) and Kaif except the way he got out during 2nd match........
Greg chappell vaaya moodi kondu velai seyya sollu pls.......

Chappell's tenure has done more harm: Dalmiya
Kolkata, Jun 1, 2006 (PTI)
Former BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya today launched a scathing attack on Indian coach Greg Chappell, saying the Australian's penchant for experiments has done more harm than good to the team.
"His tenure has done more harm. How else do you explain the four defeats in West Indies in the one-dayers. He has not allowed the team to be set. When there are regular players to open the innings, rank outsiders did the job," Dalmiya said to a pointed query on whether Chappell's stint as coach has been harmful or beneficial to the Indian team.
So long the team was doing well, people were eulogising the 'strategy', "but now that the team was losing he is being criticised," he said.
Dalmiya, who was member of the high powered committee that chose Chappell for the top post ahead of other contenders including Tom Moody, Desmond Haynes and Mohinder Amarnath, said the committee only judged the Aussie on the basis of his understanding of the game and coaching credentials.
"We then could not form any idea about his man management skills," he told a Bengali news channel.
