I just think we did not care about the basics. Like I said in the post (not exactly a original gripe, I should add, but not a widespread view either) we lost touch with the basics. The singles were not looked at as a viable way to push the score along. That and the extras that India bowled. As the average fan, he will blame everything except these two. And about the BCCI changing, that's not goign to happen any time soon, if the money influx is going to be as it is now. Deepa: I think the idiots will ask for Sachin to retire. Ganguly, nah, I dont think so. His batting average ensures that. But I consider him to be a culprit as much I do the rest. Only Agarkar has a strike rate worse than Ganguly's. A strike rate of 60 in a World Cup campaign where 4 out of the 6 in this top order have 100 plus strike rates is nothing short of sacrilege. His brief might have been to put a premium on his wicket, but it appeared, from his dismissals, that he was shut out. noname: The post is a curtain riser. I don't think you got that. Santosh: I read that the logic in picking Harbhajan was because of the left handers in the Sri Lankan squad, which is logical, I would think.

After losing to Bangladesh, India was pretty much out of the tournament (unless Bangladesh loses to Bermuda). The Sri Lanka loss simply exposed the lack of a winning spirit. The worst thing is that players and coaches will be fired and replaced but nothing will happen where its supposed to ...... the BCCI. Its’ really not that big of a deal.

Now BCCI junta would start making statements and people would call for new blood and Sachin and Ganguly would be asked to retite. Thats my guess. Even if we had won the match, with the quality of batting, we would've been kicked out in the next round. This early exit is good. Unless you are good enough to win the world cup, don't go to the next round, saves a lot of time. (End-Of-polambal) We lost badly.
