We need to built our Test Team from the scratch our seniors cannot hold there position for a longer time, they were already diminishing, it is not there fault. This will happen to every one as per the age.
Our BCCI has to produce new young blood to form a test team, there will be failure but no problem find out the exact problems correct it and set the team. We have players available in the states, but the right members to select and train them and mold them and push them inside.We will be able to form the best test team, but they should start from under 19 team, short list few young lads who has good built, and physique to keep them fit for 5 days.BCCI can search without delaying and they will certainly get the players to form the future test team. I really appreciate our seniors to help BCCI to short list few young lads without any delay.

Dont comment on something that you dont understand. It makes absolute sense to bat slow given the circumstances. Just two days play has been over and this is already the 2nd innings. Batting slow makes sense because: 1. they need to preserve wickets and build up a large total. And they have enough time to bowl out Delhi. why should they take risk of losing a wicket by trying to accelerate the run rate ? 2. If the match ends in a draw, Rest of India wins it because of first innings lead. So, they wont care if they have enough time to bowl out Delhi in 2nd innings. 3. Since chasing and reaching the target is the only option for Delhi, it makes sense to give them lesser time to bat. Unless Rest of India gets bowled out, I dont expect a declaration from them tomorrow

@Vinod..Please understand that Rahul Dravid has truly been amongst the best test batsmen India has ever produced.Having said that,we all need to understand that everything has a shelf life and guys like Dravid,Tendulkar,Laxman,Ganguly and Kumble are no exception to this.All of them have been struggling in the recent past and there is no shame in admitting this honestly.It's time to move on.We all need to acknowledge that all these cricketers have been instrumental in taking Indian cricket to another level and their contribution just can't be ignored.At the same time,we also have to accept that none of these four batsmen is at his fluent best.Their reflexes have slowed down and,to put it simply,they are struggling every time they reach the crease.It's not important in test cricket how many runs you have made on how many balls but it sure is very important to see how the runs are being made.Like it or not,it's take for all these world-class cricketers to say "goodbye" to international cricket and the sooner they do it,the better it is for their own reputations & prestige.Sadly,this is where most Indian cricketers have been found wanting.They never retire at the right moment,keep dragging their careers and retire only after facing a lot of flak or only after being thrown out.We have examples of Bedi,Chandra,Prasanna,Ravi Shastri and Kapildev who retired only after they had become pale shadows of what they were in the past.The only honourable exception has been Sunny Gavaskar.

@ChiduPalani Hey man this is 5-day match, not a T-20 slam-bang. If you don't like this, don't read the match report. Imbeciles like these criticize Dravid every time his name is mentioned anywhere; these bird-brains don't even know what test-class batting is all about.
