I want cricket to be banned in this country - once and for all. In stead, we should focus on other games and try increasing our share of Olympics gold next time.

Right,It is the longest sport in context of duration of play.I can't understand,how people find "excitement" in it.
Also I cant see football being the national game in an overall lazy nation.

guys if you want football to be the nataional game, then bring back the greg 'DARPOK' chappel. he did&will manage to take indian cricket to such lows that all the people will shift to watching football.

^^the fault is not of chappel,cricket(odi atleast) itself is a slow and unintersting game.

I really don't care about cricket anymore. Me and my college friends mostly are interested in Tennis and Soccor.
Cricket is dead.
Not everyone has time to stare at stupid-box (TV yaar :D) for whole day.
FootBall is fast.. and require a team effort to win. Football is GREAT.
Or atleast we Indian should now try to improve hockey, which is our national game.

I think they have removed hockey from the National game.And its in the general sports.

Nope,they removed it from "priority sports" with football,and put it in general.
It is still "national game":p

Whatmore is out of this race now.Graham Ford is the strongest contender.

actually shastri himself doesnt want to continue. i remember he said something like - "i accepted the offer because i was free at that time, also indian cricket was in a bad situation."

No, i am not so much interested with coach selection, but its true that Whatmore is expressing over-eagerness for the job

I dont want any foreign coach when we 'ourselves' have good options. Are they distrusting Indian coach's?
Whatmore is out of the selection process.
