Somthing we shud learn from kangaroos, look at Shane Warne, McGrath, Ian Healy,Ian Thorpe and many others, they quit at their peak with lot of grace and respect.
according to experts....we have 2 world class spinners...our batsmen are the best players of spin bowling in the world....our wickets are made to suit "our"bowlers as the visitors are bad players of spin bowling.....and they have "inexperienced novice" spinners who cant bowl...or ...will be cut to peices by our batsmen.....KINDLY COMPARE THIS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE TEST....N ALSO WHAT YOU FEEL WHEN U WATCH THE MATCH.....N THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENNING FOR YEARS N YEARS TOGETHER......IT IS REALLY A JOKE.... MANI IYER

Dear friend, this is not at all spinner friendly wicket. please think before you write. Mitchel Johnson, Watson, Zaheer & Ishant all r fast bowlers for your knowledge. Nowadays, Indian wickets are not made as it was earlier. Regarding the form, you check Dhoni, Rohit & Yuvraj (not in this match)or any younster you name it are not better or even in par with Sachin,Sourav or Dravid etc. The main concern is the failure our batsmen. Other teams they know our weakness and they trap us. whereas we don't learn at all. Hats off to Zaheer, Harbhajan for the fantastic performance. Shame on you batsmen.

yes mani you r right,
In this match harbhajan and zaheer and ishant shows good skills but what abt anil kumble?Out this robust from the team is good for indian prospect and give chance to other new talent like piyush chawla ,p ojha,c nanda,m parmar and make test and one day captain to gautam gambhir as he is the highest run maker in last two years over all from domestic and international level.
Team for third test announced Sehwag (captain)gambhir.rohit sharma,badrinath,virat kohli,Dhoni,R.p SIngh,Munaf Patel.Ishant Harbhajan,Zaheer (last news-sachin,rahul,anil,laxman announced retirement from first class cricket)

good one sanjay but you can add one or two more spinners to the squad like amit misra,pragyan ojha and piyush chawla.

yeah, what did Sachin do??? Even SRK gets the roar when he walks in walks out; what is the use of respect he commands when this guys couldn't score at least 20 runs!! he was great BUT not now...yeah he is going to declare himself unfit with injury if he doesn't score decent runs in the 2nd innings!!
Actually, all these FAB 4 or FAKE 5 are useless - Look at their scores in Sri Lanka!! One should be ashamed that Sehawag is the only who scored not 50 but freaking 150 runs in a single match..that tells a lot about our F5....in fact, our tail is doing great compared to our batsmen!!! There was a time we used to bank on our batting to score maximum runs and bowling was Ok!!! but NOw Our bowling is very good BUT batsman are useless!!! Sorry bro! This is the fact!!!

Pity cricket on the ground is not like a computer game_ punching buttons; the same player may take different instantaneous decisions under different conditions on diferrrent occasions; he only gets one chance.

If you have eyes just see the score card. Sehwag-45, Sourav-47, Dravid-51 against the Dumb Dhoni's 9 in 51 Balls Gambhir failed now only. who is performing? Check score card of S/Lanka Tests too. New faces really failed too.
when you deny anybody his due you get his illwill and you suffer for your ill dids.you may do sarpdoshaniwaran and thousand other poojas but satkarma will only take you to glory.Morale of the story is RETIRE when people ask why and not when people ask why not so said swamy sunil gavaskaranand

Well we can say that till date the Sunil Gavaskar retire when he is in full form. He set an example for others but who will follow?
No doubt sachin is a legand but at this point he must hang his shoes. We all talks about Wall,Bangal Tiger,VV special but we never talk about this little man. where as if you find yesterdays on field performances then who has show the guts to stay back & defend the ausies. Wall,Tiger. Lastly we should accept the truth that one day each player has to close his record books.
