Mr. Dhoni has an awkward habit of stating facts all Indians know - the fact that team India has a below par bowling unit. We all know the Indian bowlers lack experience. ENOUGH Mr. Dhoni !! enough with such lame excuses.
Nobody is born with experience in the international cricket. You gain experience by playing every single match and learning from your mistakes. We don't need your facts on that issue.
What WE the INDIAN FANS need are solutions to the current crisis plaguing Indian cricket - the bowling plague. I don't know whether Mr. Dhoni knows this or not but test cricket is all about bowling and taking 20 wickets. I simply CANNOT see India remaining number 1, hold on, I cannot see Indian even remaining in the top 5 nations within one year. Add to that the mass retirements in a couple of years by Sachin, Laxman, Dravid and even our batting will be hopeless. We can all wipe the floor with West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Get ready for THAT DAY Indians. Hell, even Zimbabwe have a good measure of our foolish cricketers.

Adding more to the Indian pathetic performance across all the 3 format of the game. Dhoni or previous captains never give the pacer their due. They all made merry on flat pitches. Zaheer clocked only 125 kmph on all surface. Still several idiots worshiped him like God. Also, come 2011, we all are happy that WC is in Indian subcontinent. But BCCI w'l failed to realised that firang stuff like Watson, Smith, Kallis, Hussey,Pollard, Gayle now accostumed to Indian pitches thanks to their IPL exposure. I never saw any Indian player playing or even selected for County or Australian domestic circuit. These bunch of jokers are happy because ball raises till ankle height in Indian pitches. Kumble with harbhajan on many occasions opened the bowling attack with new ball for his records. Despite Srinath, Zaheer and Nehra in their armoury. Such is poor state of Indian cricket.

Okay dude.. If we all know that India bowling is weak, why are we expecting them to win all the matches and start shouting after every loss??
Just assume that u r captain and can u give reason for the performance..
The batting lineup is good.. But they bowled very well.. Isnt this the reason??

Chandar:
You are right. We should not expect them to win all matches.
But expecting them to draw a rain curtailed match is also too much? Or are you now saying that India has a weak batting in addition to the weak bowling?

#1 team should not lose any matches?? That too when Murali and Malinga were bowling very well??
firstly, don't the midget sachin and the veteran dravid feel stupid playing under an idiotic captain? why not retire from the game and save your self respect? secondly,the team players play cricket incidentally; they are primarily unshaven, and to their minds macho, models; promoting vital,ball points etc and just manage to save time to play the game. thirdly,the captain is so ridiculous; an upstart and except for some wild hitting not really capable of doing anything worthwhile. fourthly,players like gambhir, sharma etc are so ungainly to look at that one can understand why they generally fail to perform; there is nothing atheletic in our team; you get all shapes and sized; with all the above handicaps I think we are ideally suited to play international 'gulli danda'

ESPN is looking for commentators for gulli danda.. you may want to apply for the post.. Your comments are so dumb & stupid
As we do not have bowlers of international class let us play with 10 batsman and Harbhajan. This will help us in 3 ways. 1. We can ensure tall score. 2. We can ensure a draw. 3. May be we will win if the likes of Shewag, Yuvraj, Suresh Raina, Sachin, Rohit Sharma and Dhoni takes a wicket apiece and reduce the burden of Harbhajan to just 4 wickets. I am sure this will not be a bad idea.

this is the way an American would comment on cricket. It's like the equivalent of sending in a designated hitter in baseball instead of retaining a pitcher to bat through.
There is some sense in what you say. However we do need quick bowlers too.

Indian team needs a stand by driver to take them to hotel, stadium, etc and hence Harbhajan will always be there in the team

Harbhajan will apply for the post of washerman in your society. please help him.
India's problem this time in first test has been in failing to bat out sessions. Inability to face Malinga cost the match. If Laxman did not bat in 2nd innings, India would have lost 2 sessions earlier. Tendulkar and Laxman and Dravid brought some respect to the score.
Dont worry guys, There aus will defeat pak and in Lamka India will bounce back.
If you see the last 10-15 yrs India never performed well in the first match of any away tour.India bounced back against SA to retain no.1 rank They will have to do something similar here too to retain no.1 ranking. Its definitely very very difficult, but I think and hope they will

Ae mere superman. Open your eyes. next 2 test matches will produce no results. Srilankan C nahin hain. They will make the pitches a batting paradise after murali retirement.
