bring back in form jaffer in team as he can play long innings in middle order, also bring in kartik if we need another wicket, he is better than saha??
We have give some time for the youngsters to live up to the reputation. This time around as the batting is not so strong,the bowlers should have stood up which does not happened. It is the lack of third part time seamer in the team to exploit the conditions. Earlier we had Ganguly to bowl his military medium and fool the batsman. Dhoni should have bowled some overs as he have the regular keeper in Saha. Spinners are not able to pose any threat to SA but Harris looked like a big threat and got imp wickets.

Babuaaaa what will be your next name, bihari_bauaaaa_faaart
this is what happens when you don't accept reality, india is not word's best TEAM, yes they surely have BEST individuals but our bowlers were exposed inside out. Whom to blame 1. Selectors? can't beleive there is no talent in india to find a fast bowler 2. Coach? did they have plan A, B and C like south africa 3. Captain? what he has to when nobody executes his plan, simple take wickets 4. Rookie batsmen? poors chaps has to face most hostile bowler on debut, but is it an excuse after so much domestic exp. 5. should i mention, well let me, our spin Bowlers? why spin? well thats made india invincible at home and it was biggest setback. Bhajji exposed.

I believe its more of commitment than anything else. money in sports have spoilt players as no one plays for country but only money..
we think pace bowling ie 150/160kph will cause a batsmen great difficulties but its basics like swing or cutters which provide results & that is what our fast bowlers are lacking.Lets take the case of Ishant Sharma who had good incoming delivery but now he can only bowl outswingers.

Buddy, it takes time to develop one's craft, but to start with, one needs to have pace. Again, have u seen any bowler who has been consistently successful against top teams if he did not have the pace. One reaso for india not being able to dominate, is because of no express fast bowler. Take the case of australia. They scored just around 260 in the ODI against the pakis, still won confortably due to their fast bowling skills.
Wah! Wah! This is Indian team we know. Hashim Amla not so known player scoring more than entire team's score is really a hall of SHAME. This was quite inevitable as it was beginning to show in Bagladesh. It was not bangladesh quality play that made it a close competetion but the bad quality of Indian Team. This was always going to happen after a series with Minnows Bangladesh. You can't go with same temperament with a quality side like South Africa. Can't expect such a shame from so called the no 1 team in world.
