Today there was a funny rather shameful article in TOI about the indian cricketers that a no. of indian cricketers were unhappy that Sehwags Triple ton against the South Africans did not result in BCCI showereing bounties on him. I think their primary role is to play cricket.See,i hae nothing against the team as auch.They have played spledidly in Australia & their recent record has been impressive but how can they "expect" rewards & incentives as professionals.Easy guys!!!...concentrate on the game & try to avoid defeat in this game.
Come on guys, give the indian team a break, they have done wonders in the past one year or so, just one bad day & all of you are up. Come on, grow up guys

You call it one bad day? I call it a bad series. Except for Sehwag's 319 in 1st test, Indian bowling and fielding has been below par. There is no excuse for an international team getting out in 20 overs. Perhaps they have already started thinking of IPL.
all the cricket teams in world should stop playing with SA. Avoid playing with SA. SA offer huge amount of money to opponent team and creates Corruption in game
What happened to you guys, if 10 players got out with in 20 overs just think about the pitch condition that time, and also they are not failing everytime with low scores, all our senior batsman have good track record even on seeming pitches, you cannot blame everybody with 1 failure like this. Except Dhoni i dont think all the batsman have the technique. I still believe coach and management have to concentrate on Dhoni's batting style in tests, it doesnt work in tests. First management have to think about his batting abilities, then think about his training for captaincy under kumble, Recently i saw a funny interview of dhoni, he is comparing with Anil, and saying anil is better only in communication skills, how far is that statement correct???? Better groom Rohit, kaif, jaffer, gambir, Yuvi for test matches, after dravid, sachin you dont even see great innings from indian cricket, if the boys perform like this.

Swamy ab rone se aur dhoni ya kisi aur ko kosne se koi fayada nahi hae. Accept that seniors are waste & we are going to loose badly in this test.

Sorry guys, except dhoni, all our frontline batsman have the ability to push india into a safe conditions, only dhoni have 0% technique.
India should plan the game, they should allow SA to bat but don't give more runs so that they can stretch the session as long as they want. If SA declared ealry, Indian batsmens should go for runs and not adopt defensive approach...it has been seen earlier that, whenever batsmen were defensive they out easily....If two or three batsmen (Viru, Dravid and Laxman) can bat for 6-7 session they can easily save this test.
