Australian cricket team is getting all benefit from poor umpires that shows blatant bias ,this will make sport die because no one in the ICC is not doing anything about it, cricket game one day will be history if umpiring of the sports is not taken care of with this attitude cricket will never succeed in future what a shame

A PATIONATE APPEAL TO THE INDIAN TEAM: Indians shall focus more on the game than "giving it back to Aussies". Aussies are past masters in the art of sledging and doing that insouciently!!. A focused Zaheer, Sree Shanth,Yuvraj and Harbhajan and a charged up Sachin, Saurav, Rahul, Dhoni and Irfan can be more than a handful for the Aussies. The Indians need to show their skills in playing the game than waste their talents in silly antics. They need to draw inspirations from none other than their mate, Yuvraj, who, when provoked by Fintoff, "spoke with the willow" and incidently creating a world record in T20 Cricket Format. Shots of Flintoff regretting his provocations were also clearly shown by the Camera during the India-England T20 Match. Come on boys, its about time you got your act together and performed to your potential. You, as a Team, shall realise that it is Team India on any day which could beat Team Australia and not any other team. Aussies are prevoking you to distract you and you shall not fall a prey to their manipulative designs.

Cricket field is like a battlefield. Like in battlefield, in cricket to we have to assess and analyze the strength and weakness not only that of opposition but our own also. I don’t think that our cricket captain or management is doing any analysis of own players and making strategy accordingly. Another reasons for our defeat is – whenever team loose one or two quick, wicket they play in defensive mood for long period (over). In the process they loss their attacking touch and when starts attacking they get out cheaply. The yesterdays Tendulkar dismissal is fine example. Indian team gets defeated because they never bowl and bat with mind. The street cricket players play more tactically then our Indian Team. Its true…. Lets the captain take training there.

My advice to Rahul for the 6th and 7th odis. 1, Set the field on the batsmanwise after consulting bowler and WK. 2. Instruct the bowlers to bowl to the set field only 3, Instruct the batsman to go for a boundary in the first 2 balls which helps to score at least 6 runs in one over and which helps to score at least 320 in 50 overs which is a match winning score. 4. Run the first run fast and see whether to run for the 2nd run before the ball comes back to the bowler. 5. study the England batsman and his style of batting and use your brain Rahul to attack him. with these India can win the series by 4 to 3

Dear Srikanth - When Sachin, Saurav, Rahul & Kumble retire - almost together - what do you fell where the Indian cricket would go ? We have not been able to get enough good back up either as batsman or bowler. I am afraid, the future of Indian Cricket looks very bleak. Don''t you think that even if we loose some matches now, we must try with new young guys and groom them for the future. It should not happen the way it happened to Sehwag & Irfan. Both were good but they had been given prices which they did not fully deserve. Your comments pl.

BCCI SHOULD ALLOW THE ICL TO BUILD A SEPARATE LEAGUE .SO THAT INDIAN CRICKET WILL IMPROVE.IN FACT THEY SHOULD LEND A HELPING HAND TO THE ICL,HATS OFF TO KAPIL PAJI.TO TAKE SUCH A STEP TO IMPROVE INDIAN CRICKET.BCCI SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF IT SELF TO BE A HURDLE IN THE PROGRESS OF INDIAN CRICKET.THE ICL SHOULD BECOME SUCCESSFUL TO END THE MONOPOLY OF BCCI.

Hi all, i believe that when we have to chase 280 + , we need sehwag, we need to attack , if sachin or sourav will play 70 in 100 balls , its not going to work , it will create pressure on other batsman, that happened in third ODI, where sourav scored 72 in 103 balls, result is even though Rahul and Yuvraj did run a ball , our asking rate was more than 8 and once any wicket down , it was not possible , so bring back sehwag. Veeru is sher , when he clicks india wins, and when ganguli clicks india loses. Umesh

Dhoni should remember that he is the future captain of the team and should tackle the innings in the captain''s way! He shouldn''t throw away his wicket just like that. He has to play Rahul Dravid''s innings in the future! And Ramesh Powar and Chawla need to get some batting sessions at the net so that they can be handy atleast to give a stand and by rotating strike to the batsman at the other end in time of crisis. This rotation and real good partners was missing in the third one-dayer which cost India the whole match!

Tough luck for team India in the third match! Even Rahul Dravid''s best of the form couldn''t save India. I feel Zaheer should''ve sacrificed his wicket when Yuvraj was running down the other end; which probably might have seen India on the winning side. Fielding was miserable in this match! Also, Karthik should have taken more care. He should always be backed up by the captain and other seniors in the team to play patiently. Karthik is over-confident, over-cautious and over-enthusiastic. He should use his skill and talents effectively and not dilute them with the misfields( Ian Bell''s run-out) and throwing away his wicket! Good luck to team India. Hope it wins the series!!

Mr Srikant , its really sorry to see and hear your ideas about ICL. you are being hired by every other TV channel but what about others. this is really not good to fill your own pockets and let others not fill it.Today when ICL is ready to help the youth to emerge as a better cricketer and ofcourse both will be benifeted because nothing comes for free. Atleast BCCI , ARUN Jaitely should hide their faces in some dark rooms and i dont know with which mouth they actually speak against ICL when themselves they are nothing but a blood sucking bugs. And Mr srikant you were saying that 45 yrs ago only BCCI was the one who was managing the Cricket then take my answer that had their been such kind of awareness and money with any private organisation then same would have come and today might be you would stand on other side. so every body can talk nonsense and ofcourse if ICL means business then they have the right to do so because its a fact that they are ready to spend money and thats for sure not a charity organisation. Let citizens of India watch some good talent. take care Mr Srikant and do remember that your foul mouth is being watched and heard by India.

I support your comments Deepash! Srikanth''s views on ICL have been questionable. He runs his business and very well knows how to RUN it. If you had seen Kapil speak from his heart and tears peeping out of his eyes...it was really moving. Does Srikanth not want Money? Oh yes as desperately as anyone would want...maybe more.
He has to understand BCCI is a private body and just does not have any powers to stop anybody from running cricket. When BCCI was approached for recognition of ICL why was it not made public on what criteria it was rejected. These guys are making fun of others...Cricket is for People and people are not for cricket.
Srikanth has a big mouth and an empty mind
