hmm......india lost, as well......and is out......that is really going to hurt the sponsors as cricket runs on money generated from india......
.......i think india, now, has bigger problems than pakistan, in cricket........four of pakistan`s key players were missing (shoaib, asif, razzaq and afridi).......so once the four players are back, pakistan should be back to normal........
......indian problems are not so straightforward........the whole indian team was fit.........traditionally, indian bowling is considered weak.........however, the bowlers did ok....indian batting, on paper, is the strongest in the world.......yet, it is the batting which failed.....
so, who will be dropped and what changes will be made.......dhoni and yuvraj failed miserably.......however, they are two of the most talented youngsters in the world.....so they cannot be dropped.......that leaves tendulkar, sehwag, dravid, ganguly.........sehwag was the future indian captain and is still young........can he be dropped?......ganguly has played well, after being dropped earlier.......can he be dropped?........dravid is still one of the best players in the world......and is still scoring.....so he is not going to be dropped.....nor will he resign, like inzi did........
this leaves tendulkar and the new guy uthapa.......uthapa is filling in a slot, which remains unfilled.......so dropping him isn`t going to change much.........does this mean, it is the end of the road for tendulkar`s one day career?.........

Romair:
I think so too. Indian Cricket has a major problem. Its problem is systemic that, it is less rewarding and more exploitative and bureaucratic.
India now has a center of gravity, should do major reorganization on the U.S. NFL basis. Let players be free-agents who can be sponsored by consortiums and league clubs purchase contracts for their service. Both of these acts will bring match fixing and gambling money into the system, as players` sponsors will get returns. This spectator sports business should be opened to all players from the world who can come and play and earn returns. Such spectator approach can be several billion dollars a year spectator sports.

``Pak cricket died at 3 am today. May its soul rest in peace. Funeral will be on March 21, after the match against Zimbabwe. Maulana Inzamam ul Haq Multani will lead the janaza prayer.``
This was a SMS messaget quited by Jawed Naqvi on Daily DAWN.
Similarly Indian cricket got killed by Sri Lankans today and that is due to all the boyz on the Paki side ``prayed`` to Allah and made dua that O Allah please let India lose so that we have some face saving when we return to Pakland.
Does Indian Cricket team Captain going to announce his retirement?

Inzy should NOT have brought religion to the game, I dont hear anyone saying Lord or Jesus helped them win the game, praise the lord!
It is my pleasure to educate ignorant FOBS (Fresh off the Boat Sikhs) like you in the ways of your new country.
A few weeks back, Tony Dungy the Indianapolis Colts coach and Super Bowl champion said that ``God was responsible for the Colts` 29-17 victory against the Bears.`` In the brief presentation ceremony and the following news conference Dungy used the word ``Lord,`` ``God`` or ``Christian`` 10 times while referring to the Colts` success.
Rail Gaddi has left Ludhiana, you`re in North America now.... loosen the pug and enjoy the fresh air, sardar ji.

Re: #10
Colts versus Bears? Both Amerikee, both Christian, both nothing to do with Cricket. So the Colts coach is another moron, atleast he has something to celebrate, unfortunately for Pakistan our coach is not in this world anymore. More importantly, did Jesus get paid for winning the match? I dont think so. Hiding behind Jesus or Mohammed doesnt change anything, what matters is professionalism and performance.

Naujawan, pardaisi seems to be from your neighborhood. You might be confusing him with me :)
