Bring out a totally unknown spinner and ask him to bowl to Sachin.. most of the times, he obliges with his wickets.. He did that to Giles, Panesar and now Harris too.
Now that Shane warne has also retired.. there is no spinner that Sachin can play with confidence.

Mr. Bala good observation.Frankly speaking Sachin is of no use nowaday he needs a "Ganguly" treatment and you will see he will play again
The series defeat was the just result for every cricket lover as the Team which remained interested and focussed and above all was believing of WINNING got the rewards and the other,a bunch of paper performers and disinterested superstars,went about being good tourists duly completing the schedule and making the hosts thoroughly happy.Being ignorant of the game's laws is not a sin because in INDIA superstars have their own rules;and they had an indian pitch,and that is why.SEHWAG&MUNAF should have a lot of clout in the selection panel to be retained in the next series TEAM.Hope they DO NOT.
The poor response from the readers to this article shows how dampened the spirits of the cricket crazy Indian public and fans, are after the debacle in the third test.
this result was ultimate. Even rain has not shown any merci on team india. I think we expect too much from our model team. shreeshant was looking like joker acting very funny things. Shreeshant too much is nonsense. be polite and play your natural game. Tendulkar was acting like a cat on hot roof while bowling. Munaaf was childish and was not sincere towards his bowling. totally shame. Even if we loose loose like heros my dear crickters!.
Couldnt agree more with u Mr Prem !! Every word you said is 100 % true !! I wonder though if at all India tried to stop them.
One more point, which is worth mentioning is even in the second test at Durban, india didnt show any fire to save the test match when they could have done so.
Combining the inabilities in the last two tests, a series which could have been won 2-0, was lost 1-2 !
it was sad india could not bat properly mainly due to indescipline and ultimately deserved to loose by 2-1 . We should bring totally new blood for world cup particularly consistant prformers from u-19 & ranji trophy players.now sehwag and co do not deserve recall.
Before blaming dravid for his failure in batting and captaincy, This test series is team indias best performance in SA and better fought than the previous 3 tours. Check the results of last 3 tours which India lost under captaincy of ganguly, sachin and Azar.. it was worst than this test series performance Even when ganguly was captain, it was dravid and kubles contribution won many test matches in ind and abroad. If umpires allowed dravid to play the result would have been different.the failure of dravid s batting and team loss is bcuz of bizarre umpring. Even the failure with bat in last 3 tests dravid s average is far better than any other ind batsman. Before SA test series In last ten tests dravid scored 1046 runs @ avg 71+ 100''''s - 3, 50''''s 7( highest for any other ind btestman. His odi batting average is better as a captian. Also scored 9000 runs in 176 innings earlier than sachin, ricky pointing and brain lara
