Pavan: Laxman didn't get the chance this
time either.
Praveen: He has always had/ got a raw deal.
Pavan: The selectors, captain and coach - all
had their/ got their fingers burnt by
experimenting. Defeat has become a
matter of habit for the India.
Praveen: Ganguli was sacked/ fired/ given the
sack/ got the sack (had the sack for
not playing well). May be it is right.
But the game of our team hasn't
improved.
Pavan: They sack players for the wrong rea-
sons at the wrong time. They did it to
Laxman.
Praveen: God save Indian cricket.
