Niranjan Shah said international cricketers should be able to adjust!!! No preparation time is needed against the best side in the world!!! Get rid of the bureaucratic coolies from the BCCI then it may work out. That having been said, What I saw from Australia bowling is scary. Not a single loose delivery in several overs!!! Batsmen cannot play their traditional game. They will have to score against good deliveries. They need to take risks without loosing their wickets. And all this against the best fielding side in the world! It is tough. Viru coming back is a gamble worth taking. Frankly there is nothing more to losse.
What the hellis this???As is there is no talent in Indian team. Indian cricketers are the best actors...they deserve that role more than anyone else!!!
Even Akhthar said, baggage of Seniors in AUZ can be problem and bigger problems are Vengu/Pawar that played dirty selection poli'tics' after they planted Kumble. A new bunch of spin bowling won't make difference when batting is the rot. We don't need this Parliamentary un-democracy that is source of BCCI scourge. SOLUTION:Free At LAST from ICC's agent named BCCI. INDIA CAN BE THE LAND and NATION OF TRULY FREE. After Independence, USA does not play Cricket, they play baseball in defiance and for their freedom. USA plays American Football and not Rugby. They even make Canadians that are under British Crown play it.Indians need to fully back ICL and make them invent a new version of Asian/Indian cricket that we will play in South Asia. FREE AT LAST. We don't need this fake democracy called 'Parliamentary democracy', but direct election of PM and CM!!! The MLA's representative will be in Lok-sabha and NO need for powerless Rajya-Sabha.WHEN INDIA WILL BE LAND OF TRULY FREE? ICC's agent BCCI looks sideways (counting money from TV revenues) and happy about having ICC's license for still being the selectors. Seems like Shiv-Sena wants to prolong current BCCI if BJP comes to power by wanting to make seat arrangement with NCP. Current BCCI is due to Congress that bought Pawar Antics and the Current Government and next one will prolong the BCCI/ICC garbage on India.

mister Siir could you stop this bu,,ll sh;;itt;ing????? Pleeeease.
who is akhthar sir? is he your god ? what akthar said?? he himself is a baggage for pakistan. For you kind info the seniors are still playing extremely well. enough chances have been given to juniors nothing happened so far,
kumble is senior most agree? no spinner takes 5 wicket on opening day of a test in australia, but he does, what bu,,ll shi;;tt you are talking???
Sachin hit 62 in 70 some balls against a deadly bowling, that was highest 1st innings score, what senior baggage you are talking?? so much chances were given to youngsters recently, they played against australia in india itself recently, it was just sachin playing 90s, so what do you expect them to do in tests that too playing in australia????
Independence?? yooou stu;;pid idio;;tt, US plays baseball and rugby, they are 2 of the most ordinary games, do you know, cricket is the most difficult game in the world, it is the most addicting, it is the only game which has so may varities, it is the best games in the world.
whatr independence you are talking sir?? british started railway system, why are you travelling by train?? stop doing it. they invented lot of things and implemented in india so stop doing it. why independence means avoiding cricket for you?? do you have any idea that US doesn't play cricket, but follow UK's ideas in so many ways. They are war allies too. They are close friends. so what are you talking?? stu;;piid.

All hopes are lost for the current generation, this is why I am an Indian forced to be an NRI. Hope the next generation has an vision to follow whenever they raise their head in the Sky.
Finally team India Summoed Mohammed Kaif for the remaining 3 tests in Australia. This should have done before hand atleast we would have saved Melbourne Test.

There was a time when the sponsors were giving away money for hitting a four/six. Well I guess the Indians are used to this. So, may be the sponsors should come up with an attractive some (more than what they used to give for 4/6) for each single and three taken. I am sure we will see a lot of ones and threes. Sad but effective may be.

BCCI should give these GREATEST PLAYERS 1 billion dollars/run.Even after that These GREATEST PLAYERS fails.They should double/triple the offer.Even after they fail, BCCI should offer the same to their family members also.

Yes you are right, but the seniors are so smart that they will ask for a runner who is younger and ask their sponsors to pay him something for the favour.

Sachin - I shall go after the wide ball & give away my wicket. Dravid - I shall waste all the balls and score minimum runs. Saurav - I shall duck at every ball no matter if it is short or not. Dhoni - I shall break my record of 5 hours in a saloon for having a haircut. Yuvraj - I shall score 6 ducks in a row and equal my record of 6 sixes in an over.

Ganguly, Kumble, Laxman Dravid r the best fielder's u will see. Secret lies in their fitness at this 35 plus age. They use DABAR CHAMANPRASH

Javed Afzal, 20 20 can be played with a hockey stick also. Even if Yuvraj / Dhoni / Uttappa / Sehwag / or anyone, is given a hockey stick, they will suceed as there is no technique required. Just eye hand combination and a strong drumstick will do. Dont compare 20 20 with a Test match yaar.Wrong comparison
