Guys you can all drink as much blood of these five men, by having them removed them all at a go, but after that, we will far lower than the current aussie team in the world of test cricket.

In first Test Aus won the toss and put up a good total on good batting wicket, Then it was even become difficult for us to save match as it was helping spinners.But they donot have quality bowlers right now & Our batsmen Sachin Laxman came good on last day.
In second match we won the toss and made good total . After that our Bowlers (all four) kept continuous pressure on them which enabled us to win. So many a times toss plays important role and help Captain. Dhoni showed signs of good captain but it is too early to judge. You cannot make comment on bowler like Kumble after couple of failures. International bowler cannot be judged by one good performance. Otherwise we wud not have seen greats like Sachin, Dravd, Ganaguly playing for India so long.

How can you say that? Mohali is a favorite hunting ground even for Kumble due to the bounce in the wicket. He too might have got good number of wickets here. Next test is in feroz shah kotla where kumble got 10 wicket in an innings. He should definitely play. Mishra would make a strong bench for the side and can get chance after Kumble retires, which is going to be sooner rather than later.

well said, People tend to forget that kumble performed year after year, series after series. Every time they said harbhajan is better and he proved better than bajji, now for one test failure they are telling the same. may be they are bored of seeing kumble and want to see some new face. But the truth is if kumble was fit he would have performed better than mishra and I am sure once he comes back he will perform. Same way in Bangalore Amit would have flopped in a big way too.

Forget the last test. Consider the last year. He is still performing. He performed even in australia.
Kumble is a slow thinker when it comes to captiancy decision, we could had even won the first test had Kumble sent Dhoni up the order if not only then to play for a draw as the Indian Seniors did. We cant play negative cricket against the Australians, need to be agressive all the time that's the way we will match-up against them.

Kumble is not aggressive. That's his weakness. He's too good for a captain. He's a great bowler. Let Dhoni take over.

Draw in First test was a good result. In India toss plays a very big role. Chasing in 4th innings can be dangerous. Lood what happened to Australia despite pitch being good in Mohali. So achieving a draw even after loosing toss is a good achievement.

This ery kumble has lead india to test victory at Perth , known as fastest pitch in the world and also a fortress of Australia. India is the only asian team to beat Australia there and all this was under kumble. Infact if the umpiring was free from any error in Sydney, India may have very well won the series. So look out before you open your mouth. This man is one of the greatest fighter cricketer india ever had.

Everyone has a golden period.But after that period you must think for retirement.It's better to take self decesion before decesion being imposed on kumble.It is a game which require continuous performance which kumble cannot give so say bye-bye to kumble
So Mishra has to sit out despite a great performance. However, I don't think Kumble will continue for long. Congrats to the entire team, including the backup staff for this fabulous win. It has warmed the hearts of all Indian supporters.
Kumble will be back for Amit Misra. This will help strengthen the bowling attack. Amit just took only two wickets in the first inning. His first inning 5 wicket was a flook. This what Aussies say in dressing room.

Oh! You were in the Aussie dressing room all along. What were you doing there? Where you cleaning their arses now that they are bruised by Indian whips...
Get a life... Amit bowled exceptionally well on a wicket that offered no turn for spinners.
