Actually Bhajji is wicketless in ODI too. In ODI we have Ashwin and Ojha like wicket taking spinners but in test he has no competition. India require him in test specially in subcontinent.
nothing, dhoni now has enough money from contracts. So obvoiusly he will spend less time on pitch, he took breaks inbetween to talk to his contractors, and may be was doing rehearsals for the ads.
Whole team is responsible for losing this match, main batsman nt able to make runs this is the main reason. But Dhoni is having more responsiblity than others.since he is caption of Indian Team....

There is no meaning in being no.1 among 5 test playing countries. There is some glory in being no.1 in ODIs.India achieved it more than one year ago for the first time in history.India lost it within 24 hours.Hahahaha!! India may never again achieve no.1 status in ODIs.The mighty aussies sits on that throne as if glued by fevikwick!!!!

The whole selection process should be overhauled. BCCI should arrange more international tours for India-A and India U23. With BCCI's power and money, that can be easily done. The selection process should be transparent. All young players (below 23) who are doing well in domestic should be promoted to India-U23 and play some international games. If they do well in India-U23, they should be promoted to India-A. Other players above 23, who are doing well in domestic should be selected in India-A. The selection to India team should be strictly from India-A. Similarly poor performancers from Indian team should be relegated to India-A. It will give them a chance to play some international games with India-A and make a comeback, if possible. So basically the cream of the next gen players should be in India-A.

Dear NYY, Test cricket is not that much easy like IPL or T20, you have to show your Origional cricket in test cricket. Most experienced player also Sachin also some time out for 0,that is not mean he is not good crickter.

ofcourse. But everyone should be responsible. If any top player has failed continously, he should also be relegated. You cant be in the team resting on laurels.

His bowling and batting efforts can only substantiate for India's want as much as a 2 day hungry man getting to have 1 number of your 'first name'
Irfan is gone! he might have some guest appearances but otherwise he's gone.
