The Tri series final loss is due to the seniors like Yuvi, Harbhajan, Sehwag, zaheer and the great Dhoni and their on field perfomance is much lesser than expected. Yuvi,Bajji and Zhaeer gets credit for worst fieders award in ICC. BCCI is sleeping.

You are right except for your comment about Dhoni. Dhoni has not performed badly and he has batted sensibly at the time of crisis except in the final. Especially Yuvraj and Harbhajan have proved liability for the team. Yuvraj should be replaced by Manish Pandey in next series against South Africa. Yuvraj need to play only 20-20 matches and Harbhajan only tests.

Dhoni is fearing for seniors and he should be courageous enough to drop Bajji, Yuvi, Zaheer, Nehra. Young Gus should be given chance in ODI & T20.

What bothers most is attitude towards game... this way let us not even dream to be number 1 team in the world, if we do so we will be insulting the game. Whatever may be the game number 1 team should be of highest/optimal combination of all areas of the game including spirit and attitude... Indians are way far from it at this moment.

I agree. Harbhajan is a spent force(though wonder if he ever was apart from being a fluke). Yuvi has put on oodles of weight & should be dropped.
Nehra.. the less said about hin the better.. he is the worst bowler & a horrible feilder.Sreesanth.. well he was always a fluke & would remain so. Zaheer needs to be reprimanded for his no show.
BCCI run by politicians and its only goal is making money rather than development of cricket. Cricketers are paid heavily and the game is suffering due to that. Great example is Delhi Fiasco. Shame! Shame!

what action has been taken on karnataka for not lifting the covers on the 4th day till 845am? The covers should be off 2 hrs before the start of play.
BCCI is working towards slow death of Test Cricket in India. 4 tests in an Year, consisting 2 with Bangladesh will result great fall in Test match standards of Indian players.. Seems BCCI has separate agenda towards its short term goals rather than in the interest of the game.

well said. i think these guys are more interested in ipl's and champions league t20's than in test cricket. their attitude is all the more baffling considering the fact that india has been a great test side in the last 7-8 years.
such crammed schedules will not guarantee a win and defeats the very purpose of hosting this just for the sake of being no1. the sl series was long and then bangla and now
For the forth coming SA tour,Selectotrs should pick new players for ODI.Let the players,who played against Srilanka be given rest.Dinda,Tyagi,Misra,Oza,Dhawal Kulkarni,Irfan,RP Singh,Abhishek Nair,Rahane,Pujara,Dinesh Karthik,Rohit Sharma should be included.Let these boys play the matches.They will get experience & will also get the opportunities to show their talents.Let the present team including Skipper Dhoni take rest.

youngsters should first perform in odi' and t20's. only then do they deserve a test cap. a test cap is not for sale that it can be lend to any tom,dick or harry.
