Coming to the original topic, I think media is playing games by making it look like its Australia vs Indian players instead of looking at the issue professionally. IBN CNN has some stupid crew who make it sound like its some traitor invading our country. I am surprised at ex-cricketers comments especially Srikkanth who doesnt want to buy anything related to Chappell. To me it looks like Chappell wanted to mould Indian team on the lines of Australian team, where only performance matters. A very good example we got was of Ganguly who stayed in the team for atleast one year just because he was the captain. No doubt he was a good captain but 1 year in the team just on basis of captaincy? Thats the reason we are far behind other teams like SA & Aus. Chappell didnt realise that Australia looks for performance and stupid BCCI ( or whoever selects ) based of names.

Tendulkar has given everything to Indian cricket. No question about that. But if you look at the current issue/question logically, we are asking for why Indian team fared badly. We are not asking whether Tendulkar has given everything to Indian cricket or not. It looks to me as if we are being redirected to a different issue which has nothing to do with current situation. Tendulkar didnt perform well in the world cup and that is a fact. Hes guilty of that and so are other senior players like Sehwag, Agarkar, Harbhajan and even Ganguly who played bad shot agaisnt SL and got out. It looked more like Ganguly was more than happy to keep his place by playing slow against minnows and then getting out in crucial encounter. He didnt get involved with the team and acted as if he doesnt care what happens to the team. It doesnt surprise me at all with his attitude like trying to get back at people, the way he did to Chappell after that century against Zimbabwe. We have a team with players like this and we want to win. Tell me how is that possible. There should be commitment and common goal of winning and not just individual egos or personal records.

Senior players should go. Thats for sure. Its time we had some players who are selected based of performance rather than what they did in last year or even before that. I think Sachin and Dravid should stay and Dravid should be the captain.

The worst thing that could happen is Ganguly named as captain.

Bottomline, Chappell is being made a scape goat. He will go, thats for sure but I think Dravid should stay as captain. If not Dravid, then some youngster should be made the captain. I would recommend Sandip Patil if people are so crazy to go with an Indian coach. Foreign coaches dont harm the team. Look at SL (1996), Kenya, Bangladesh( now). They all had or have foreign coach and it didnt hamper there cause.

No the real concern for the BCCI to set things right. More than the game, its the attitude how we approach. We are very weak in our approach & mind set. Viv Richards has rightly pointed it out.

With respect to our seniors, One day they need to hand their boots. They need to do it when they were in right form. I hope (Sachin, Ganguly & Dravid) understands this and score freely before they bow out of the scene after 2 or 3 series

Greg exit should be a must. We should not let our hair into the hands of Greg.

Coming to our seniors, they need to told that their future depends on their performance. If they are not performing, they needs to be sacked out. No doubts about it
