Group B - Bangladesh, Bermuda, India, Sri Lanka

it's possible we were expected to win against Bangladesh the same might happen with Bangladesh
just being too optimistic
 
There will be riots and frankly the Indian team deserve it for playing like babies.

Tendulkar must be axed, to show that noone is immune to being dropped. In the matches that mattered, he flopped. Uthappa is nothing but a waste like I have said from the start and needs more seasoning in lower level cricket.
 
Tom Moody must be feeling proud while shacking hands with Indians, because it was them (well not exactly the players:p)who rejected him when he was in the queue for "Recruitement process of India's next foreign coach".

To be honest, it is not the coach's fault but those of Beckham like Tendulkars who do not perform when it counts.
 
What crap??? After a comprehensive defeat, the telecast shows a guy shouting into the screen "Indiaaaaaaaaaaaaa......". Thats disgusting.

Miracle? Anyone hoping for it? It will give me more pain to wait for such a miracle to happen. What has happened to Greg Chappell and his lofty words that India can reach the semifinal??? Where is he? Seriously, after this defeat, the team needs a major overhaul. Dravid is the first in line. I thought he might pull us back but after hitting 17 runs off a Malinga over without any effort, he thought he might pull off a MS Dhoni and went over the top and screwed us. Ganguly brought us down in the crucial match and he has never been able to force the pace at all. Sachin - what can I say? I still love him, but no denying that he has not been the Sachin of old and probably will NEVER EVER BE!

Dravid should lose captaincy. Throw Greg out and bring someone like Sandeep Patil or look to bring back John Wright. Bring back Ganguly as the skipper. We need his aggressive captaincy. All this records of Dravid having 65% success record and better than Ganguly is trash. Under Ganguly,

India has always looked the better team and a world beating team.

All is not lost for India regarding their cricket. They can come back but Greg Chappell has made a huge dent into all that was done by Wright-Ganguly!
 
its all over, i know anything can happen but it is looking hard, but you never know

Oh shut up! I dont buy that theory! (Sorry for being rude)...

The coach is responsible. His influence was clearly there to see when India shuffled the team like mad in 2006. He deserves to take the blame. Coach plays an important part. This coach has been taking full authority of the team and has been ruling the team! HE HAS TO GO!

Absolutely true.. (well may be not)

Tbh, India were never the favorites with the kind of bowling attack they had for this world cup. you need a team with equally strong in all departments to win the most prestigious competition in the world.
 
Guys, cool it. Srilanka are a good team. India played poory against Bangladesh, hopefully that's a one off. No need for knee jerk reactions now.
 
when was the last time tendulkar performed under pressure.
It has been said time and again and today it was proved.
He may hav got the most runs in international cricket but what's the use when it doesnt help the team.
Tendulkar is not a match winner
 
Coach stuff is bull coach can't be responsible for everything, werent complaining when you made 400+ its the players...sure the coach has to do his bit and I think he has because in the past year India have been pretty intimidating.....
