Ishant Sharma has this habit of foul mouthing batsmen every second ball and even after he gets thrashed. He bowls more slowers than fast balls these days. He needs to be told he is a f---ing crickter not a king. First, he should be thrown out of the team and prove his worth in domestic circuit.
All these guys - Dhoni, RP, Ishant, Bhajji are uneducated gawars and sudden riches has made them go mad. This reflects in their on field behaviour. The level of arrogance is just intolerable and someone needs to tell them that. Look at how humble players from other teams behave.
There are plenty of good players like Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwari, Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel etc yet our selectors are spineless to select Dhoni's favorites like RP, Ishant, Kohli and others. We need some people with common sense to represent the team, not people whose actions and attitude portray a bad image for the country, on top of losing games.
its not fair.. YES team India lost badly or rather too badly, but still its just one series. we should give them the proper time before finalizing the verdict or passing so harsh judgments.
India shoud first of all stop worshiping STars. let performance alone be the criterion FOR SELECTION. if a batsman does not average 25 in the last 2 outings he shoud sit out. again bowler who do not average 6 wickets in five outings must be out. we have plenty of young talents.. bring them in and avoid LUCKY STARS. players like dravid, ishant, yusuf pathan, don't deserve a place at all. is Srikant listening ? selection must be strictly on local performmnces and not on past glories.

last 2 outings as in last 2 series ? I don't think you can put something in stone like that. Dravid has averaged 44 at strike rate of 70 . The reason why its 70 is because in one low scoring match, his strike rate was pretty low.
