20/20 Game by Merv on 02 Feb 2008

Financial power off the field does not translate to performance on the field - yet again for India. No one else can be blamed. On postage stamp-sized grounds some of the Indian batsmen may not have been caught. It is a different game over here with larger grounds. Australia' young players clearly demonstrated why they are the best fielding side in the world. Are we now the 20/20 champions?

Dhoni-Yuvraj - Should be brought down by Mayank on 02 Feb 2008

Specially Dhoni has been pathetic performer after world cup and same with Yuvraj.. One must bring them down to earth and teach them a lesson. They are very talented but they have lot of air in the head..

Wake uo,no more yes sir by Fakir on 02 Feb 2008

Nobody looks at the root cause of the situation we are in.We pray our lords(kiketers),uncontitionaly.They are like demo god.Come on we are no more slaves,we are billions and find our new cricketers,forget old dogs.They are history.Take the message to corrupt bcci.Push the idiots out.Let the new,yes new hungry lions to roam the world of Indian cricket.Kill the Kriket we have now.You have to change your mentality.Stop westing your breath on asss hole.Jai HInd.

MATCH FIXING by Max on 02 Feb 2008

The most funny thing was,the players who can beat Australia were sent back home and the all time great player like Tendulakar was made to sit out.Is it the dream team minus the great 5 players.Without Sachin,Ganguly,Dravid and Lakshman it is a big zero in International Cricket.I think Vengsarkar

Aus thrash India by 9 wkts in 20/20 by Rajesh on 02 Feb 2008

I think we should bring them back in all honor and spend a few crores on them, after they were once T20 world beaters, Dhoni the best ever captain India ever produced, but let the party be paid for by Sharad Pawar with the same fanfare.

Aus beat India by Tathagata on 01 Feb 2008

Australia showed who is the leader.Indian players dont have the mentality of being the leaders which Australia have.

Simar by Simar on 01 Feb 2008

That's true.

RE:mismanagement by ds on 01 Feb 2008

I can agree on VVX but with Dravid, we are doing too far. Bigger problem is we tried the junior too late!!!! The junior batsmen were not tried earlier at all, it is a shame!! We stuck on Yuvi and we could have rotated Rohit into the team!!!! Put Gangu and Dravid out to try someone else. We would be winner by now.We did not rotate the middle (rohit, tiwari, raina) and top order earlier, Stuck with Jaffer for too long!!!! Can you imagine if we tried Dinesh or Robin insted of jaffer then we would have realized their true worth earlier.

Kill the Kriket by Fakir on 01 Feb 2008

O la la.What a scream.Are you guys still need more.Wake up.These politicians,Bad Crapy crap Ignorant(BCCI),girly players have sold us down the drain.they are all in there for money and PHUDI.Little bit of fluke and we throw all we have.They are killing us of shame or heart attack.Please wake up India,lets look for our heros somewhere else.Forget KRIKET.Enough of it.Dont be slave to one woman,or oly home food.DOnt you like variety.Now you know.We cant live only on chicken,we want all other tasty food.Same here.Develope the taste for other sport.And first KILL the KRIKET>Jai Hind.

Cannot push juniors like cattles, no risk management done by ds on 01 Feb 2008

Statistics will tell that Yuvi will have chances to fail again when he returns, can we live with him failing in next match when he returns, this is called Risk management that BCCI did not do with present selection!!!Sure we needed to try T20 internally with best combination and simulated Ozzie pitches in INdia before coming and playing the well planned Ozzie!!!!MOST UNPROFESSIONAL bcci. ozZIE tried it all out before with NZ and internally. They mixed it all with best senior hitters and bowlers that could nail India...because some Seniors have played in Ozzie pitches more than junior... Slowly bring in all the juniors as we find/retain best among them and they play more matches (as senior have recently in Australia).You cannot re-try Uttapa, Dinesh (surprise we have no wicketkeeper other than Dinesh and Dhoni).

shameless! by red eye on 01 Feb 2008

win -u get shower of flowers-loose u get brickbats-shmeless.........

pfft by vishal on 02 Feb 2008

lose ...not loose ...and the brickbats are not for losing ..the brickbats are for losing so cheaply. The brickbats are for fielding a dickless team in the most keenly contested match of the entire visit. Screw these goddamned idiots ! The selectors more than the Players.

dear fellow indians - please shutup guys by vishal on 01 Feb 2008

Dear Subodh Iyenger, If Darren is being arrogant, it is because he has a reason to be arrogant. Look at how his team performs - Like kings of cricket. Seriously dude, as indian cricket fans , this is the time we should be hiding in some cave or something in a remote place and hope that our crickters either improve their game or learn to shut their mouth. Believe me, this is not the time to go struting on the message boards. C'mon ...let's hide.

Seniors have been give chance to play ozzie so they are good!! by ds on 01 Feb 2008

Seniors have been give chance to play ozzie so they are good!!!What is use of so much BCCI money when we don't prepare our young players and put them on Suli.India were out-gunned, out-thought and out-planned by Ozzie. We OVER-RISKED for failure and did not take calculated risks by trying less number of new players that have"no experience" on Ozzie Soil and wickets. Most of these players were un-tested for T20 conditions or were totally rusted by not being used for long time. How about Airplane fatigue.Look at Ozzie, they were very calculated in risk taking, tried the proven hitters against India such as Gilcrist, Hussey, Symonds with combination of winners of T20 with NZ.Ozzie have played many T20 behind the scenes with NZ and internally within Australia to make sure they win this one and find out the best players for T20. Since seniors had played with Ozzie more than Juniors, certainly there is a NEED for Mix in team until Juniors had enough practice against Ozzie. Juniorswere left out without guidance, were the juniors setup for failure??If they look good in T20, ICC will want more of them. Bracken,Noffke and other Ozzie players don't come out of blue's. How many T20 India has played to try out our best young players in fast indoor pitch and spin pitches?????????Bringing back DADA or Yuvi will not cut it fully, all these new guys in T20 were not used to Ozzie pitches or bowling except Sehwag/Dhoni/Dinesh consider Irfan as the allrounder ... SO who needs to go?Dhoni?Sresanth?None of these new players like ROhit Sharma were tried before on Ozzie soil recently, they tried Pankaj SIngh and VRV whom the sent back. Trying these players in T20 before would have givenus some exercise to know their worth. Was Dhoni's inexperience setup for failure with Tendulkar and Yuvi refusing to play and Sehwag being run out. They don't have a second T20 to even it out.Remember in SA, we found Joginder Sharma with slow pace was better than Sreesanth in crucial overs!!! Ozzie studied all this while we were shouting milk-milk. .We have given so many chances to Dinesh and ofcourse to Dhoni who is better than him. ANy other wicketkeeper other than Dhoni and Kathik? This is how bad Indian selection has been for such long time.The young players were not chosen the way Ozzie selected their T20 team after playing many matches internally within Australia and with Newzealand.None of these players were warmed up to play T20 to find best among them like we did in SA.

stupid indians by vishal on 01 Feb 2008

G mein dum nahi , hum kissi se kum nahi. Seriously, the best thing indian team can do is learn some humility. Their game deserves it. How humiliating to be defeated like this, especially after they way they have been struting like a cock. I hope they think twice before issuing sound bytes in future and remember how stupid they sound when they crumble like a pack of cards after all the bravado. Disgraceful.

It is not team India by Shombhoo on 01 Feb 2008

Is ti Indian team? No way. It is a team of a private body BCCI, selected by one individual MS Dhoni against the wishes of so-called selection committee and millions of Indian cricket fans who never agreed dropping of in-form seniors. But Dhoni insisted because he is not comfortable with seniors. Fans may remember, what happened to team India when another captain dropped a senior because he was not comfortable with.

Indian team better watch out by sam on 01 Feb 2008

Sure they did well because we were busy shooting our mouth off. People who talk never perform and people who perform never go shooting their mouth. Have we ever notice the best players of the world go around shooting their mouth off ? I hope MSD learned a thing or two from this lashing. Or else we are going in to the hole for sure ...

Downfall of poster hero by Suman Bagchi on 01 Feb 2008

Now Dhoni will understand that fielding is not all for any cricket match be it ODI, T-20 or Test. A team need to score runs to defend that. Also whatever may be the talent of youngsters, there is always a place for experience and inabsence of inform seniors, what may happen a team made of nursery kids. Dhoni will now come out of T-20 WC hangover and then after return to India, his wings will be clipped by BCCI and make him a powerless captain. Or he would be made to resign by fans.

Shameful by Brian on 01 Feb 2008

The most embarrasing performance in history. So called world champions...what a joke. Too much talk and not enough ability to match. Typical India.

Humiliating Indian Cricket by Darren Wilson on 01 Feb 2008

I hope indian cricket has learnt a valuble lesson, dont shake the tree of the australian cricket team and public, what a humiliating defeat of the so called world champs, just keep the 20 20 trophy polished as we are coming to get it...The indian team is the most over rated team on the planet....they can give it but cant take it, now onto the one day matches where we will beat you again, better make up some excuses now.... To all of india, crawl back under your rocks before you get trud on...

Post by Darren Wilson by Subhod Iyengar on 01 Feb 2008

This is a statement by typical arrogant Australian.

dude please shutup by vishal on 01 Feb 2008

Dear fellow indian, If Darren is being arrogant, it is because he has a reason to be arrogant. Look at how his team performs - Like kings of cricket. Seriously dude, as indian cricket fans , this is the time we should be hiding in some cave or something in a remote place and hope that our crickters either improve their game or learn to shut their mouth.

T20 Aus Vs.India by Kumar on 01 Feb 2008

The BCCI selectors with Mr.Vengsarkar should be questioned by Indian sport lovers if their touted "young blood"had less blood and more water that caused such a humiliating 9 wkt. defeat. I am sure Dravid, Ganguly etc., could have done much better. They were victimised unduly and the Chairman of the Section board should quit immediately, which he will not do, that also we know.
