Indian team is not at all good nowadays...This really hurts.One side a fight is going on between BCCI and Lalit Modi and another side Indian team performed very badly in this tri series...
I just can't understand what is happening..The BCCI didn't select the team properly..They missed Irfan pathan, Robin Uthappa and picked Vinay,Pankaj..We the audience who enjoy can suggest a good team but these members who live in cricket not picking good team..One side Yuvaraj stomach only is growing not his batting
..yousuf plays only in IPL, the inform batsmen suresh raina didn't give his best..oh ! it is really bad..When we get Indian team back in form..I think we moved down to third place in ODI..
In tri series I thought that these guys will really perform well but very much disappointed
..Huh ! our bench strength is very much bad..Don't what these guys will do in Asia cup..
Lets hope the best...What you guys think about our present situation .. will they hit back..?

Hi sweetie. That i know, but they need to start focusing on what's really important or they will have the whole India on their backs. A lot of money or not. Without supporters, they really are nothing at all. We have the same problem here. Let's see how far this can really go. TATA.

ya the selectors are always avoiding Uthappa and Irfan.
i dont know why they consider these guys even for the second IndianXI went to zimbawe.
and raina is a unlucky captain, thats what i felt.
in IPL also CSK lost the matches under his captaincy, even though some matches were very tight and favourable for CSK.
like that in many domestic matches that i had viewed, I have seen that Rainas team ending in a losing side despite he performs well with his bat.
so his bad luck continued for india also.
but Raina didnt perform well with his bat in zimbawe, he should have come up the order in the absence of two good openers.
here also we do got two young batsman who have very good talent.Rohit and virat played well and they are the only hope for future indian team.
but bowling still needs some good talents.

Yes, Raina didn't perform well..Only two batsmen played well as you said Rohit and Virat..You know Dinesh Karthick played excellent shots but he really didn't have any luck..So we can watch out him..And bowling , no way..we just need bowlers to bowl 150kmph above speed.Indian bowlers can swing but no pace at all..Don't know what will happen in this world cup..Let's see

Hi Gany!
Actually Indian team's bench strength is not that bad. The problem is they don't get the combinations right. And selection politics plays spoilsport.
And no one can deny that Indian team lacks quality fast bowlers. It is a major crisis. If India cannot find good bowlers then they have no chance of being a top team. Cricket is not just about batsmen. Bowlers need to be encouraged and nourished from junior levels. Only then we can find next generation Kapil devs and Anil Kumbles.
India really needs to address the bowling issue urgently. Otherwise, next world cup is going to be difficult for Indian team.
They need to find good combinations and strategies.
Happy Mylotting!

Yes Wismay, Bowlers getting very bad..Don't know what will happen..These guys bowling only 140 ..That too only some fast bowlers..Sreeshanth and Ishanth has pace but not bowling good length..Zaheer bowling well but no pace..Praveen the same..he swings the ball in and out but he no pace at all..Just 120 to 130kmph..
Someone have to do major change..We normal people can talk about this and understand our problem but these selectors not finding anything..I just wonder why these guys not at all taking any solution..
Lets..hope the best..

Friend, the problem is not with the players but its with the committee who are selecting a team for a series whether it is a ODI, T20 or Test. The selection committee not at all taking serious while selecting the players. They won't consider players who played well before and just they want the ICON players like YOUSUF PATHAN, RAVINDRA JADEJA. They thought that these two players are ALL ROUNDERS!!!! And one player MURALI VIJAY. He is really such a waste fellow don't know how to bat according to the situation. But still BCCI selecting that type of players to play for INDIA its very sad for us all Indians. India is a wast country still so many players are there like ROBIN UTHAPPA, A.RAYADU, R.ASHWIN, TIWARY(MUMBAI INDIANS), KOHLI but BCCI don't want the players who make their career in cricket and who gives a good cricket for the INDIANS. They always want abuse, scoldings from the INDIANS.

First of all its just a game. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. This time we send an inexperienced side to Zimbabwe. It was a risk, but it didn't pay off. We also complain that youngsters aren't given enough opportunity to showcase their talent in the international stage. This was the perfect opportunity for them to do it. But they couldn't grab it. Maybe, if one or two experienced players were also send with this team, things could have been different. But you never know. But one thing is for sure. Our Indian team is going to bounce back for sure!

looking the present condition of the indian team disappoints me a lot.when the team was selected for the tri series,i thought that they might have selected such a team to give chance to the young generation,but yet the plan did not work.but no one can be perfect all the time.we just need to keep faith in the team.i think ours support will boost there confidence.i think the team just needs to play enthuthiastically.lets hope for the best.happy mylotting.

You're right! Its just about the talent... There is no one really to replace legends like Sachin, Saurav, Dravid, Laxman, Kumble - who can adapt to any playing conditions, match situations and against any oppositions with ease. BCCI keeps ignoring South Indian Players and are giving faith in BIG NAMES who never perform - Yuvi, Yusuf, Zaheer. These guys THINK they are LEGENDS and their Commitment = ZERO !! Only "Better Team Selection" can save Indian Cricket team..
These facts really hurt real Indian Cricket lovers.. but we got to admit facts...
During the 1990s to 2004 - we used to say "Bowling is our weakness"
Now - our Batting isn't good enough either to say that "bowling IS our weakness"
good question.. thnx..
