our team has really shown some charecter in this siries. They have improved in all the department their body language is also improving i like this team and their spirit.
Sorry to write this, but the truth is that like most situations and walks of our lives, we have not learnt to accept victories and defeats with poise and a silent mind.The whole nation goes overboard when our cricketers win and the same nation goes into mourning with a loss.We donot practice what we preach to the whole world. Learn to look at cricket as one of the games for enjoyment, and not as something of great national importance.However, in a country where the parliament spares no ocassion to celebrate victories or grieve things like cricket,you can imagine the depth of the thinking and maturity of character our politicians and leaders are likely to have. I pity them,and my heart weeps for the millions of poor countrymen who look upto these leaders for deliverance from the ills and problems that can be solved with true intent. So let the cricketers PLAY,its their chosen job, and let you as worthy Indians WORK hard for the good of this country.Let us not get too involved or get carried away by Games People Play.
The Indian tail cannot wag because we do not have all-rounders. India need all-rounders who can bat, bowl, field and run between wickets. The tail that we have is only good in Ranji matches based on which the selectors pick them but it does not wag in international matches.
The tail needs to be set on fire. Not only the tail but the middle order collapse is also a contributing factor to the losses.
Running between wickets also has been poor. Catches win matches (Ganguly says this but never is seen catching). He has holes in his hands.

Rahul can you explain in detail how exactly Ganguly failed in Australia ? Because I feel that he has been the most successful Indian cricket captain ever in Australia or for that matter anywhere.
What more can be said of our Indian team ? Every victory of theirs is short lived....they hardly keep up their reputation at any stage in life...Team work has been the biggest problems with the Indian team and with the Indian politicial team in India. What we lack is a Psychologist like Gordon at every walk of life....

Drop Patel,Ashish Nehra,Akash Chopra and include Ramesh, Pathan and Kartik for the fourth test.Let Sachin open the innings with Sehwag and Dravid keeps the wickets.Winning in the fourth test is more important and above combination will give more chances to win a test in Australia. Bye Sanjay

Well thinking ...except dropping patel coz keeping in test is tough for dravid. But the best suggestion is asking sachin to open.he has to score
