Indian team is also ordinary.India just have a good batting line-up with ordinary bowling and bad fielding.This is not enough for a world class cricket team. Only aussies and SA'a are above ordinary with teams complete in most departments of the game.They play complete cricket.

I agree. The way Clarke and White played yesterday it was one of the greatest back to wall partnership. Clarke never missed an aopportunity to score a single & almost for every ball he was searching for run. Our Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman who think offerring dead bat is defence, this is a lesson form an Aussie. Our Yuvraj should get coaching from White how he can play and support his team and then smash opposite bowlers when they tire! There is no big issue once in blue moon you hit a 50 or 100 and then out within 10 runs in next 15-20 innings. Fielding of Aussies and SA is awesome to watch. Our heavy footed cricketers who run slower than women cricketers some time should learn by watching videos of course provided they fin time between their night outs and masti!!
After making Bangla 85/5,the indian pacers strugled with the later half.Reason Bad bowling.Indian pacers bowled half volleys and never attacked the stumps.Ever Bangla bowling was much superior to indians.Any other side would have taken to more than 400 and made india to strugle.
Bangla team should be appreciated for a fine shaw also. Forget Viru-dhoni issue. It brings disunity. Media is shamefully discussing this.Is it not cheap and discreditable that AajTak is trying to hide the govt. very serious Miskes/Mischief of publishing photo of Pak Arichief on Govt.of India paper, behind a harmful discussion of a rift beween Viru & Dhoni? You are a SABSE CHOR. Pls stop cheating.I
both sehwag and dhoni are picking their favorite players in the playing eleven. this favoritism is not good for indian cricket. look at some controversial decisions made by sehwag as captain:
SEHWAG included ishant sharma in the playing 11 for the 3rd and 4th ODI against sri lanka. In 3rd ODI, sehwag picked ishant ahead of praveen kumar (who was india's most economical fast bowler in the first 2 ODIs). in that ODI, ishant bowled with an economy rate of around 10, but sehwag picked him again for the 4th ODI in which he again bowled with economy rate of 9
sehwag picked mishra for the 1st test match against bangladesh ahead of ojha who bowled very well in the previous test match he played against sri lanka. although mishra performed well in 1st test against bangladesh but no one can justify the reason behind preferring ishant & mishra over ojha b4 the start of 1st test match
now look at dhoni decisions:
Dhoni picked ojha replacing mishra for 2nd test match against sri lanka just because of mishra's one bad performance in previous test match which was played on batsmen friendly pitch. on that pitch, even bowler like murali failed to spin the ball. so on wat basis dhoni dropped mishra?
for the 2nd test match against bangladesh, dhoni has included ojha in place of mishra. how can u drop a bowler who has taken 7 wickets in the previous test match for a player who has played only 2 test matches. except dhoni, no one can explain the reason for including ojha ahead of amit mishra

Hey Gaurav, stop writing thesis, get down to bare facts.We are playing against a useless team that does not deserve a place in the cricketing world. Let the Bangladeshis play against Canada, UAE, Papau New Guinea, Holland etc. Please don't waste your supposed talent in writing things that look so mediocre.
