The Asia Cup debacle

India
July 7, 2008 1:26am CST
Hii friends Team India has done remarkably well over a past few months but it has failed at certain big occasions. I think this is because they still need to learn a few lessons. I believe this can be done by the inclusion of senior players like Sachin and Saurav, Balaji and Zaheer. Don't forget Sachin and saurav have been more successful than Yuvraj and Robin. Though the young men have done well, the veterans can contribute much more. What do you say??

What can we say really? Young players must be give more exposure and not every young batsman can be a Sachin nor every captain can be Saurav. Dhoni was doing well till yesterday and until we watch him for a few more tournaments, we cant be sure. After all, he did lead the team positively in the last Australian tour and that tour was definitely tough.

hey I don't say that every 1 can b a legend.. but legends should not be treated like that...I don't say Dhoni should be sacked... Robin should. The schedule was tight the players needed rest that can be done if there is a senior player awaiting a chance. Robin didn't perform in the series, niether did Yusuf. Sachin aur saurav would have been far better both with the bat and the ball. You got to test them in the domestic circuit. Let them play the county,afew more domestic tournaments.

It was to be happen. As it is said that "Adjal gagri chalkat jai". They are young, they don't have full of talent neither they have much more experince nor patience. They have to learn from their seniors like sachine, DADA, KUMLE, etc..... They should teach lession from this final match defeat....? Try to be prepare him self for the next sri lanka series...

Ya I hope the seniors do well in the test series and show the one-day team wat they are capable of. And by the way don't the Srilankans have not thrown away Sanath or vaas or Murali for Kapugedara, Kulasekara and Mendis to come in. When the selectors will realise this we will see a better team India. Keep mylotting.

i too think that there must be some senior player like sachin and saurav be in Team India. young player i doing good but if they have the support senior player they will improve them more. In final of Asia cup india played very very poor. i did not excepted that india is going to play that bad.
