yes.. this seems to be proving right with every match we play.. we are turning fron team INDIA to team INDEPENDABLE.. and with the likes of virender sehwag in the team, things have taken an ugly shape! who could imagine that a team which has played a total of 96 ODI's and has won just 4 of them till date would beat the sh*t out of team INDIA in the first match of the world cup?? There are times when things take a U-turn and team india seems to be the unstoppable monster for which defeat is just another word they read in the dictionary long time back... but now it seems to be the only word that stays by them.. Do you think we have a chance to even make it to the SECOND STAGE of the WORLD CUP?? IS TEAM INDIA REALLY DEPENDABLE???

In our country with respect to cricket everyone has their own idea about who should be the captain, which batsman should play etc. That's very easy to say such things, the hard reality is when you have to lift the bat and play or bowl with a red cherry. In 1983 when we won the world cup what was our team's experience??? So, if Bangladesh lift this edition of the world cup, i would not be surprised. Cricket is a funny game anything can happen. Even Sri Lanka, Pakistan where surprise winners. In India people have the nasty habit of believing that throwing money at anything will make that substance into gold. People have the false belief that by just throwing money on cricketers, they will be inspired into winning the world cup, defeating Australia etc.You, can throw all your gold on a donkey, but you can never make a donkey into a pedigreed race horse. The reality is the present Indian team with so called stalwarts like (Dravid, Ganguly, Tendulkar, Kumble etc.) is ranked No.6. Whereas, the No.9 ranked Bangladesh team had 17 years old teenager and very young agile players who mauled India with their superior agility. Concluding my observations i would like to state that people throw money at a pr*stitute, bar dancer also will that make them noble people full of virtues. Similarly, rewarding cricketers with crores of ruppees, awards, creating a media hype will not make the team into a world class team.

well said friend . anyway , Cricket is a game of uncertainity . Anything can happen at any moment in the cricket . All team might go out for just 10 good balls . A player can hit more runs in a single over to lead the team to win the match ... ...

I am not sure. But the fans like you and me have to take the blame that is for sure. Look at the way we simply change our mood, once we win and when we lose. Both extremes are not good. Look at what the "cricket craziness" has done to Bob Woolmer. Hope such things does not happen, we should maintain restraint.

Team India has become Independable. All players have become irresponsible of themselves. Virender Sehwag had spoil everything. It becomes an ugly shape. No I don't think India have a chance to make it to the second stage of the World Cup. Now they are not dependable.
