Basically, the Indians do not have a good discipline or fitness regime. Look at some of the great players like Sachin, Sehwag and Saurav. All three are great bastmen but their fitness levels are laughing stock:
Sachin agains CSK can not even play 10 overs at a stretch' the innings started at 10 p.m. in the night- still he was completely drained and out!
Saurav Ganguly could not even run 2 rounds in lancashire during his county days. Ganguly was the laughing butt of his fellow cricketers at lancashire incl. Flintoff.
Sehwag is a standing joke on fitness. Then look at other great players like Gambhir, Rohit, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Yuvraj, Nehra- all are jokers.
In the current Indian XI other than Raina and Jadeja and possibly Kohli, the rest are basically unfit to play any international criket.

youngsters in the indian team are good for nothing. Only Sachin, Sehwag, and other seniors are great. Dhobi is a crap player.

Sachin's fitness level is a laughing stock, that's why he's been playing for more than 20 years in international cricket! Except 2-3 occasion he never called for a runner! Even at 37 he's able to play for full 50 overs but no other (especially youngsters) have this courage to stand on pitch for 50 overs! he's one of the best in running between the wickets, for India if not the world!

Agarkar is India's best ODI bowler so far. His bowling under Azhar and Dravid captaincy was brilliant. Ganguly and Dhoni didn't have faith in him.

that's exactly I'm trying to say! Ganguly favored Khan and Dhoni the rest!

plus..his down order batting provide them some deoth in batting, and a fine fielder!

records itself tell the story! Agarkar is out because of Dhoni's intentions to keep his player even if they aren't performing!

LG is right..here is one post (the best i think) I read on cricinfo:
Posted by ChakDeSachin on (June 07 2010, 06:19 AM GMT) What's even more satisfying than watching Sachin smash records after records, is watching the frustration of the critics. LOL, poor souls, they have no other way of venting their frustration that they have inside them, hence the internet is the only way for them to vent it out. It's so satisfying to watch Sachin choke the breath out of these critics every time he plays a series, watching them burn inside. I feel pity for them, as much as they dislike him, the more love and praise he gets from the rest of the world. I can only imagine their pain and sorrow.
i will beat the shit out of you if you don't stop saying nonsense about Tendulkar. SRT has scored runs all over the world go and check stats you motherphucker.

he is a big fat zero. He doesn't even know how to hold a bat properly and come here and talk nonsense about Sachin who has more cricketing knowledge than anyone in the world, and especially us.

So what...He is still better then many! What other avgs against them? Everyone has a comparetively bad records against a particular nation..check out Punter's records againt Indian, Lara's against us..and there can be many who has a little bad record against some nation. Still 38 isn't that much bad against pak!
