I think it looks like India is only good at winning against weak teams in India only. In foreign soil even Bangaldesh reached scoring touching 300. Looks like world cup is ruled out to India.

I agree. In ODIs we are hyped purely on our batting line up. We are not consistent in bowling, fielding and also batting at times.
name the player who won the last two tournament finals that India won...name is Sachin Tendulkar...117 and 91 in CB Series and 138 in tri series in Lanka.....without Sachin India can't even compete well in the finals leave alone winning it...body language on field was abysmal...

I dont agree with sachin we had lost 19 finals including worldcup finals . So not a valid point. Sachin in 440 innings has scored on 3 centuries. that shows his record.

Alex K:
Learn to put things in perspective. He scored 45 centuries in 440 innings, not 3 centuries as YOU claim. As for the statistics on lost finals, I hope you denigrate Raina's century today as one of the worst by an Indian batsmen, eh? :) Coz we lost. :(

Right. We won so many world cups with sachin. Well you should thank Mc grath. His retirement enabled us to win in Australia. And sachin his century. I hope he sent mcgrath a gift for that.

Without sachin, indian team looks like club level team. Yuvraz scoring 0 in fianl & dhobi failing in final of each tournament he played. But no hue & cry. But if same happens with sachin , it will be a national debate. What a stupid biased fans & media we have.The fact is sachin has record of maximum MOM & man of the series in ODI. It means he has won more no. of matches than any one else in world cricket. Also he won three tournaments final singlehandely like Aus triangular series, SLK triangular series & Sharjah cup. Dhobi & his youngistan are useless. Just hyped by media & regional biased fans. not capable of winning. In test india wins as we had great seniors like Sachin, dravid, laxman, sehwag, zaheer, kumble etc.
yuvis body language suggests hes concentrating more on his personal issues than cricket..when ever he comes to crease, he usually is agile, looks for singles and then blasts...and the bowlers...when tyagi was bowling well, y was he dropped? he shd have been accomodated in place of sreesanth..its good for india if they pick three different teams for the three formats..

your assessment is quite good but, How come rohit/pandey come into the test team ?
Alright, rohit is performing well in the domestic circuit but, he has been given enough opportunities in ODIs and T20 to prove himself. All he has done is shown flashes of brilliance but has not performed consistently.
Pandey still has to prove himself in the ranji circuit for atleast 2-3 seasons.
In my opinion, Badrinath is the right guy for tests. He has scored consistently in Ranji for around 5-6 years now.
