India has batted and bowled about same as Australia. The difference in run is due to the fielding mainly. They're hustling to save single run and I remember atleast on three occasion our fielder just let the bowl run to the boundry when all the runs could have been saved by diving field. Sorry but the fielder was Ganguly all three times. I am not saying Ganguly was the only culprit, but in general their fielding is better then ours..
Shame on the fab 7 India batsmen. The tailenders have to show them how to bat. Now is the time atleast for the 5 redundant oldies to retire if they have any self respect. They don't have any more excuses left to be in the team.
dada is no way near .. he neaver play as good as last yr .. that's true last 10 yr we r seeing dada performing but in last yr he score his maximum runs in yr dat is 1112.. ok but sachin has score 7 yr of 1200 runs in test & 8 yrs in ODI
selectors are paid 25 lakhs per year by BCCI and are bought over by crorepati players sponsors by paying more than 1 crore per year.hence sachin,rahul,vvs,anil will be selected by them for 2 more years.since sourav refused to pay he was humiliated.;Long live ICL down with BCCI

Why can't Rediffmail discussion board officials stop publishing abusive language. After all we are grown up people and must avoid use of "gaali galuch" during our discussion.
Sachin Tendulkar, Laxman should retire. i doubt whether Sachin can score total 77 runs in the whole seris. He and Laxman should be given only one more chance in second innings, if they can not score a century, they should retire and let young players be tried. Enough is enough. Even if India looses trying new players it is O.K.

Laxman cant have too many chances. Max he can have is one test which is in progress. We can give more chances to all glamorous players.
