India out of World Cup

Hi

Don't go burning effigies just yet, Pakistani 'fans' done that after the defeat to Ireland and demaned the murder of Woolmer and look what happended there.

Cheers

OP Would you rather your team was out now, or struggle through to the super 8's and be humiliated by losing the next 6 games?

if India gets into the super8 now they will definitely bounce back.
I say even upto the semi finals atleast.

However, as of now they should just come home and practice and play an honest game.

The selectors should start picking the best players, not choosing someone because of which state they come from.

Ganguly affair clearly showed that India is not fit to play any competitive sport.Sport involves skill, athelitism,endurance,courage and above all in team sport unity.

India perhaps has skill in few areas in cricket ( lacks many of the attributes) but its talent is highly over rated by chauvinistic followers whipped by commercial minded Indian journalists.Blaming the players is the easiest thing anyone can do if they do not want to exercise their brain.

I think it is good riddance that India and Pakistan are kickedout because both these nations have made all aspects of this beautiful sport extremely ugly.

I can now sit back and enjoy the world cup. To start with, I do not have to hear the boring Indian commentators ( Barring Sanjay Manjrekar)

one fact though..Without Indian money, cricket will still survive.I am happy that ICC did not pressurise Srilanka to tank to safe gaurd their commercial interests though they tried their best to give India the flattest wicket in Port of spain!!

It has allowed two south asian teams who still have some respect for cricket to move to the next round.i wish them both success in this world cup.

one additional thing.Competitive sports is the only arena to test one's capability.There are no ifs and buts and no god fathers to bailout either.

I am sure our players tried their best , the effort was not lacking, they were simply not good enough.Why not we accept this fact and move on?

the politicians should give up the top sports in all sports bodies.

south africa is kicking some serious aussie butt.
yet another 6 even as i write this.

if world cup is about determining the best cricket playing nation.. India didn't deserve to go beyond the first stage

and i dont think the world cup exisits to pander to unreal expectations of indian fans; however numerous!
