Indian team in tri-series at Malaysia 20th sep 2006
Chappell is set to go to Australia from Malaysia and will rejoin the team on October 6," Board of Control for Cricket in India's secretary Niranjan Shah informed on Monday.
Sourav Ganguly was once again ignored by the national selectors, as the former Indian captain was left out of the 14-member Champions Trophy squad despite naming him among the probables.
After seeing the performance of Indian in tri-series at Malaysia, I can say This 15-member squad is not good enough to win worldcup….

Seeing this performance by Indian I can’t say India will win world cup.
Thank GOD India had won this match… I will give credit to Lara’s captainship for this win of India. He took things (score of 162) very lightly, he came at very low down the order to bat at 9th place i.e. at seven down.
Earlier in match,D Smith Part time bowler dismissed Rahul Dravid in the first over and then picked up the wickets of Virender Sehwag (1), Suresh Raina (11) and Yuvraj Singh (0) to leave India paralysed. … If part time bowler can do damage to Indian so call top class batsman then I don’t think we deserve world cup.
Solid support from Harbhajan and a half-century partnership under the belt saw Tendulkar enter the zone where he looks virtually unbeatable; caution giving way to flair as he manufactures runs off perfectly good balls, employs the pre-attempted cute sweep shots and caresses the gaps.
India had recovered from 78-6 to 156-6, when Harbhajan fell to Chris Gayle, for 37.
In Match against Australia this top class batsman were down, their rain had save a match for India other wise Indian would have all out within 60 run.
Captainship of Dravid is not good and the way batting order for few batsmen have been changes show that chapel and his boys are still experimenting. Well now honey moon period is over now no one left to increase the bench strength Other than the last guy who was humiliated by BCCI.
Mistake that Dravid is doing from last 8 one-day match
[1] Opening the Inning though we have Tendulkar and Sehwag
[2] Showing lack of confidence in Irfan Pathan Bowling and showing more confidence in his batting.
[3] Worlds one of the best hard hitter Dhoni is left alone down the order with such tail Enders who doesn’t know how to hold bat.
[4] Dravid should come at number 5 or 4 that means at 3 or 2 down which can strengthen the batting order.
[5] Playing with 5 bowlers in one-day matches. Even Dravid knows one-day matches are mostly dominated by batsman only. How he can play with 5 bowlers?
[6] Making so much flexibility in Indian batting order that batsman had forgotten their basic role.
[7] Creating Insecurity in minds of all players about their position.
[8] Dinesh Mongia was spectator in this whole series up till now.
[9] Kaif was left out in pervious 2 matches without any reason.
[10] Pathan always coming at one-down is predictable and he cannot be trusted ever now and than he can score once in a blue moon.
It was nice to see Sachin Tendulkar back in touch, but now his foot are not moving properly, he is some what slow in moving his feet towards ball specially out side the off stump, the way he got out against Australia is due to that only And in this series he is been beaten outside the off stump several time. These things can be rectified easily. But he proved his metal by scoring. He is still one of the great batsman. I Hope he will continue to play like this only and even much better.
Suggestion to Dravid…
All batsmen should play around Sachin, Sehwag and Dhoni, this player are good they should get enough ball to bat. At the same time Dravid can fit himself in a sheet anchor role.
Below should be the batting order as per me… considering this team which is in Malaysia.
[1] Sachin
[2] Sehwag.
[3] Mongia
[4] Dravid
[5] Yuraj
[6] Dhoni
[7] Raina/kaif
[8] Irafan
[9] Ajit agarkar
[10] Harbhajan
[11]Munaf Patel
Bowler
[1] Start with Irfan
[2] Munaf Patel
[3] Ajit Agarkar
[4] Harbhajan
[5] Sehwag,Yuvraj, sachin, Mongia and Raina (Can fill 5th bowler spot)
When India have to chase big score, at that time only Irfan pathan can be send at one down to score some quick fiery 30-45 and that also after 7 over and before 20 over.
Fifth bowler should always be part time bowler; with this team also I can make things work... I don’t know what the hell Dravid is doing after so much experienced, this match was gifted by west indies to us even he know.... I think BCCI is just interested in making money they are least bothered about the sentiment of Indian... we want to see India winning. Win can only make cricket more popular. Or the days are not far when Indian will not see Cricket match.
I can bet if any other Indian coach would have done so much experiment like Chappel then he would have been kicked out within 4-6 month.
Indian Batsman need more practice against left arm fast bowler,
A new comer M Johnson took 4 wickets by giving 11 run in 4 over.
Call back Ashish Nehra and Zahir they can help them to do practice...Ashish was kicked b'coz Ganguly showed lot of trust in him. In the last match that he played he took 6 wicket & still he is out… ha ha ha
And this is true that winner always do right things so for this match dravid did right… but don’t forget things can be done in more better way. What I see most people don’t…
That were I am different.
