India unexpectedly didnt qualify for the super eight's in World Cup 2007.Or was it expected.Most people would say that the least that India was expected to do was qualify for the super eight's.Some said that if u enter the semis than all it requires is two good days to win the cup.Everything said India didnt have even two good days in the prelimnary group matches.One out of three in the prelims and that too against Bermuda-some people were hoping that Bermuda will defeat Bangladesh and would help India go thru to the Super eights.
I thought the performance was pathetic.I thought Sehwag was looking quite good against Srilanka was good till it lasted.Tendulkar has overstayed his invitation in the indian team.India the land of great spinners saw Kumble and Harbajan fail to make even a decent impression in the matches they played.Inspite of the batting failure against there was no attempt to strengthen the batting against the better bowling of Srilanka.Why was Dinesh Karthick ignored during the three matches when he has been in good form till the world cup.Dravid's captaincy was nothing to write home about.Greg' "process"method of building a team was in tatters simply because the process itself was flawed.Now it is emnating from Greg's camp that he was not given the team that he needed.This was clearly coming as the media and the public has been scathing in its criticism of the way he has handled this teamSorry Greg it is time to pack your bags and go home.
