yes.... dhoni has said it rightly...we have the best batting line up in the world Look at the aussies bowlers..their bowlers capitalised on the start they got and take full advantage of the conditions.. In contrast Indian bowling is nothing but very immature. I the first two matches they failed to capitalise on good start. It is not that indian bowlers are not enough experienced. but there is a lack of cricketing brain...So called spearhead Zaheer is the most nonsense of them. Shreesanth concentrate on the other things than bowling spinners bowls leg stump line.., full tosses etc etc.. If bowlers have to improve they must watch the footage of australian bowliers...or especially srilankan bowlers...even srilankan part timers bowl well when apposition is under pressure. Indian bowlers have to learn little little things about bowling if they wanted to be world class
On the other hand Indian batsman always have a hard task ahead each time. Everytime they have to face quality attack than their own bowling. They have to chase much more target than expeted while chasing...or while batting first,on a bowler friendly wicket also they need a good total to defend due to the lack of quality bowling.

spare a thought for our cricketers who are being mercilessly flogged by BCCI. For almost five months they are on roads and havn't had a break, havn't relaxed, havn't met their near and dear ones. the situation is going to get worse in the ensuing months. there is only one practice game in australia before tests start. which cricket board in world would have accepted such itinerary ? the guys are fatigued and tired after high pressure non stop cricket. its so easy for us to sit in drawing room in cosy sofas and berate these guys. our expectations keep rising. they are human beings and playing against a mighty opposition. our great bcci cant even find a coach in six months to look after the cricketing matters and take their load off.

they hardly play in the ground, most of the time they used to sit in the pavilion, and in the night they used to go night clubs.
Hi everybody first of all the blunder mistake in India is players supporters like one side sachin supporters, dravid supporters, ganguly supporters, yuvraj supporters and Dhoni supporters then who is the Indian supporters? One side we are all fighting about senior players vs junior players see the other countries he fighting about he want good players like Srilanka captain want attapatu in team he fighting with Srilanka cricket broad, but we are all fighting about religions, first we want to stop stupid comments like religions topics, we want to talk about India, pls my humble request pls stop talk about religions and supporters. We are all proud we are Indians. Chak de India.
If a player under perform for two matches continuously, he should be dropped and new comer should be given chance for 3 matches to perform. Minimum 30 runs should be scored in an inning, or else this should be considered as under performance and automatically be dropped. So there will be no dispute, and player will try to do well to remain in team.

Sorry to say thsat your knowlege of cricket is very poor. If every player who fails in two or thre mathes is dropped we will only have half baked yountsters in the team, who again will score in one or two matches and then fade out. Pls understand internationa cricket is not like your domestic cricket, the standard of which is much inferior to the domestics levels in England and Australi. They have less teams and more players fighting for fewer places, adn hence quality has to be very good to even get a chance in the domestic tourneys. To bring about this change, the Board shoud make a concerted effort to improve the level of domestic tournaments, develop proper training centres, not for short periodsbuty through the year adn give equal oppurtunitis irrespective for players from all the states. Economic condition of a player shoud not stand in the way of his selection. The Board instead of making money for its officals and a select few connected with it, should spend the funds available to develop the game, not in the major cities, but scount for talent in the lesser states and towns. The ga,me is not the privilege of the rich. The poorer yaoungsters form teh smaller towns are also talented adncan be moulded into freat players. I would never, in my life forget a player from the Corporation High School, Nungambakkam who was a wonderful and successful fast player, but was not considered for the City Schools Boys Team because he was not a student of one of the elite schools
