As usual the bowlers are getting killed on flat tracks. Will things ever change? Ever? Again after the series we will write that flat tracks are killing test matches but things will remain the same. Nothing ever changes in India.
We don't have a capable bench strength to replace current senior players. The problem is more prominent in Bowling dept. - when Zaheer was not available in Srilanks, the fast bowling options were so limited with Ishan & Mithun!!! Ishan bowls in pathces & not consistent whereas Mithin is yet to prove his strength. - Ojha, Ashwin, Chawla & Mishra are still not upto the Test Level to replace Bajji - In batting, forget about finding replacement for SRT (will never find one) but we don't even have an sppropriate substitute for VVS & Dravid!!! (Rohit, Pujara, Badri, Raina, UV all are yet to prove Test level capability). Raina has shown a lot of promise but its too early to say!! - Wicketkeeping - Dhoni is secured as there no challenge!!! (Karthik is not a Batsman, so can't be in as Batsman)

Hey common, stop this bling fan following of sachin, sachin never can give you a single win without other 10 players so better to support team instead of any individual, ofcourse sachin is the most senior and important member of indian team but other players are equally important too and it doesn't matter if he is scory century in every innings because if indian bowlers are unable to take 20 wickets and india loosing match then what is the worth of such centuries and thats what we need to really learn from other countries, to be professional and dedicated to our country instead of our personal records and no one can be god ever, sachin is also human being and player as everyone else.

Sachin is one of the best players of this era of Indian cricket but does not deserve the epitaph attached to him by the fanatic fans, assess the value of the player based on the sheer merit of the wins and see how many other greats even in the current era have performed , even Wisden or ICC cud not find Sachin among the very best purely on the merit alone unless of course u have emotional quotiont attached to the assessment parameters.
After 90 Overs just 1 wicket and it is really good for australia that they are having good batting practice because these indian bowlers are like bowling machine for them and i also would like to see their bowling practice infront of so called good players of flat pitches like Gautam Gambhir, pujara and now we really need to understand that where we are heading, we just can't judge the players performances on the basis of IPL and Domestic circuit because our pitches are not upto international standard and also you have to see that pujara or even other batsmen are scoring against the really weaker bowlers so it is really hard to judge them from their domestic performance, so it is good to prepare good sporty pitch for them so when they will go to australia, SA, or anywherelse then they will not be totally surprised.
