With India and Pakistan out, it is interesting to see how TV channels and newspapers keep alive the World Cup coverage hype till April end. Quite a challenge for advertisers as well.Al Nims Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970805021887839221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-24828662995400161092007-03-26T22:31:00.000+05:302007-03-26T22:31:00.000+05:30I am extremely disappointed with their performance...I am extremely disappointed with their performance but then feel bad for the men in blue too, they really must be going through a lot of pressure even after the game and all the mails landing in my in box making fun of them.. i really feel bad for these guys..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-38008116580908665402007-03-26T04:31:00.000+05:302007-03-26T04:31:00.000+05:30I think the writing for the Indian cricket team wa...I think the writing for the Indian cricket team was on the wall. There were the disputes between the coach and the captain (Chappell & Ganguly). The innumerable experiments that prevented us having a fixed batting order. While Sehwag did perform well in some matches, tolerating his poor performance set a bad example with respect to selection based on merit. Overall, poor planning led to this result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-79938099746002442462007-03-25T23:37:00.000+05:302007-03-25T23:37:00.000+05:30You know what, I agree with Chappel on this - he i...You know what, I agree with Chappel on this - he implied that this is mainly due to the Indian player's inability to face failure...the fear of returning home without a cup and facing shame is what makes them weak knee'd, not the opposition. Their mind is focused on glory and failure, not winning with precise action, like the aussies...but well we have seen it time and again, the self confidence return in some distant future...probably when we have a courageous captain who can shepherd such a bunch of sissies...Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-7317652851074530562007-03-25T21:38:00.000+05:302007-03-25T21:38:00.000+05:30This game has been loved by the masses but trade a...This game has been loved by the masses but trade and politicians have hijaked the commonmans game.I loved old world cricket,but not now.The team is full of actors trying to play cricket!!!Amit Shekharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092197787132980280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-41291293966456944942007-03-25T19:41:00.000+05:302007-03-25T19:41:00.000+05:30That is so true.I too hope so.

Indians should have atleast given a gud fight. atleast then people wouldn't have been so angry upon them.<BR/>Its really is a shame to lose like that. The Indian team once people were scared to play against is gone now. Now they think " Playin Against India?? Piece of cake!! Don't worry we're gonna win". Man! such a sad state for the team. I hope atleast now they will rectify their mistakes and try to better themselves.<BR/>God bless the Indian Team!<BR/><BR/>btw thanx for visitin mah blog. and thanx for ur valuable comment.<BR/>I've linked ur blog btw.
