after this series you guys think it would be hard for india to geta moral boost specially worldcup is right there .................. its been a while since india has won any series, i feel bad for all you indian fans . indians have tried all sort of strategy to pull something special but everytime they failed to make it happen i dont whats going on with the entire batting lineup everyone failed miserably specially dravid and tendulkar now please do not start bringing up sachins 30,45 score cus that doesnt count from a batsmen like him ...he got enough opportunities to prove his geniusis but i guess he's too strangled up there probably cus he cant makeup his mind regarding his approach but whatever it is i think INDIA's suffering big time ....i dont think dravid should carry on with his captincy cus with this result any captain wouldve stepped down .....i dont see anyone supporting him at any time anyone who performed so far performed only to secure there place in the side other then that ididnt see any team effort.

Yeah.. I remember one year ago India were probably the most inform ODI team with Australia..
But now the coin has just spinned the wrong way..
I think Pakistan will (finally!) beat India in World Cup in April...
But you never know if India hit back like a comet in the WC!
The players morale will be very high I guess in the WC, but also a lot of pressure from 1 billion people...?

things have definitely gone the wrong way for india. so many of their batsmen failed to perform... their future looks dark.
lekin who knows... pakistan might do even worse in
south africa. i dont think they'll do bad but letz wait n see.

I believe Pakistan will do a better job in SA than India did. The major difference will be pace bowling.....again.

One positive thing in that series will be the first test match & the first indian innings in the 3rd test match!
And Ganguly & Zaheer Khan?

Quite a few positives to pick there afridi.......given that India was in a very very bad form.....both in batting and bowling, a few performances in the test series is what we need to base on now. Sreesanth showed some intereting abilities that should be explored in future tours. Zaheer showed some sparks as well....but he has been inconsistent...we will hope that he gets more consistent with time. Ganguly has come out fresh. Laxman has his touch back.

India now has a couple of one-day series to warm up before the WC starts....

Actually I think more than the pace bowling it will be Pakistani batting that would be the difference. I think Pakistan will certainly do better in ODIs because you cannot beat 0-4 record of India. I am not sure if Pakistan would do better than India in tests. Pakistani batting is looking better than India right now with Moyo in form and other contributors. Sachin, Sehwag and Dravid were the lynchpins of Indian batting and they all failed in RSA.

My line up for world Cup:

Dinesh Karthik
Irfan Pathan
Sachin
Dravid
Yuvraj
Raina
Dhoni
Zaheer
Harbhajan
Sreesanth
Munaf

Well the worldcup is still a few months away, so you cant say that times is up for India. The time is up for India when they are kicked out of the tournament. Personally I think India has a chance to winn the final or at least the reach the final of worldcup!

india wasnt a very gud team b4 world cup 2003 either but they made it to da final, where as pakistan looked like they were gona rap every team with their sik pace attack but they lost badly, so never no india can still do gud in WC, but even if they dont they will still beat pakistan in da next round LMAO..like always

well what happen to pak is world 03 i think its coming to catch india to nw

Dravid ka captany khatray main hai bhai

This team might not be able to beat Bangladesh
KArthik opening _---> yes he is good maybe btr than some players, but there should be postion for evryone, he is wicket-keepr but india has dhoni. pathan opening he will get out under 10. Raina the guy had avg of 28 from the ODI he played, no 50 outside INdia.
Zaheer gives too many runs, agarkar is btr than him on WI pitches, saw that in WI series, he was only one with bhaaji to keep things tight
else looks ok
but where is
Ganguly

It is good thing INdia lost, they will be to ground when they will enr world cup. And if they would have won by this performance they didn't deserve

who cares bout them!
