India are the defending champions of the World T20. But we were eliminated from this year's tournament in super eights. We had a better squad when compared to their previous one in South Africa. But everything went wrong this time. Wrong decisions were made. Batsmen failed miserably. what could have happened if India were put in a tough group? They could have even went out in group stage itself. Such was their performance. On the other hand, Australia didn't even reach the super eights. Are they missing Gilly and Haydos who were a revelation in IPL2? But for the high standards they have set, this is less than a mediocre performance. They also had a strange batting line up. Whatever is the case its a shame that they got out in groups stages. Its embarassing for both India and Australia. Whose exit is the most shameful and embarassing? Leave your comments below. Have fun!

As a INDIAN i feel my team INDIA is the most shameful and embarassing exit as we are the champs in t20.i feel that DHONI's decission was very bad at the final match where he should have sent in form yuvraj before jadeja.but as a international spectator the most embarassing and shameful exit was AUSTRALIA because every cricket fan around the world thinks AUSTRALIA is one of the best cricket team and the overall expectations of fans around the world is more on AUSTRALIA than INDIA...

Cricket Is Money in India........................................ As Long as the InterfereNce Of The Officials And the Media Is Limited. The Captain and the Players Can And Will Perform to The Best of Their Abilities. Too Many People Poke Their Nose From Composition Of the Team,Selecting the Batting order To Every Aspect of the Game Which is Disastorous..........Let the Team members Play their Natural Team Which Was Happening Till Some Time Back And We Saw The Positive Results. Am Personally Hurt For the Indian Team Along with a whole Lot Of my Friends ..........

lol Australia is the most embarrassing because they have been number one for so many years and have been talking crap about the two teams that have seen to their early exit. This goes to show that one should not boast.

i would say Australia would have been really hurt after going down in the first round itself and could not even manage even a single win. but India's ouster has been highlighted since they were the defending champions and the fact that Australia are able to hide their poor performance since the ashes is coming up and all the attention has been focused towards it. on the other hand Indians are known to love their cricketers like gods when they are inning and hate them and treat them like worst than dogs like by burning their effigies. and the Indian media highlights the fact more than it should be as they get a lot of fodder to generate more trp. people fail to understand it is a game after all and someone has to lose in order for the other to win. it was not India's tournament to be. there were a lot of problems with the latest case being that of sehwag and the team never had a settled look to them. all the factors contributed to the result for India.

Exit of Indian team is most embarassing. India being last time champs. atleast enter in to super six. It was very shamful for champs that they didn't even make it. There is no reason for them to give. If they say that IPL matches tired them thay should not play in it. Just for money these players are giving shame to country and there fans. If they are tired they should not play upcoming westindies tour.Don't run after money.

It is both. Actually Australia was n lot more tougher team than India in preliminary stage. If India was like them, they would have bid us adieu in primary stage itself.it is no different than Australia. its more on India as they are defending champion and have left like this.

I think it was Indian because they were defending champions and have should play according to that caliber but they never manages to do that and were failed to win even a single match against good teams. They won couple of matches but that too against small teams. England and West Indies doesn't have good T20 record in the past and India has lost to them being a defending champion they should have won at least one of those matches.

i think india's exit was much more shameful.first of all as u said we're the defending champs.we should have atleast made it to the semis.with the ipl our players had an amazing amount of t20 practice too.We entered the tournement with such vigour and confidence only to loose so embarrasingly.all the controversies and the blamegame has made this exit even worse. atleast australia lost to good sides.we lost to england,whom even netherlands had beaten you get my point
