I think this bitter but absolutely right idiom has been written for this Indian team ! I mean 'How can you play with 3 bowlers?'. Will Dhoni again say that he was UNLUCKY ? This outcome which India is facing right now was obvious. Indian players are still under the effect of WORLD CUP BOOZE and I think they don't care about Test cricket any more. I have been watching cricket since Sachin made his debut against Pakistan in 1989 but I have never seen this kind of casual approach in Test cricket in any Indian Team. The players are looking as if it is not the pride to play TEST CRICKET for INDIA but it is as if a LIABILITY for them to play test cricket and they don't want to carry the proud burden of No. 1 Test playing nation of the world anymore ! They are happy with the 'Indian Baseball League' ! This 20-20 street cricket has ruined the charm of pure form of cricket ! I know some people disagree with me here but I can give a full proof evidence here ! India was 1 bowler short coz of injury in 1st Test but they didn't take lesson from it and again went with a injured bowler !! Even if Bhajji is not injured, he is Terribly out of form !! You are No. team, your back is against the wall and you are going with Terribly out of form bowler ?? WOW !!

Kumble is a looser and so is Dhoni. All they worry is about cheap publicity and not the team. The Indian team was humiliated and battered by the English side. It was like a national team playing against school kinds. Dhoni is so useless that he could even save runs. Thanks to IPL, we now have businessmen in the team and not cricketers.
Dhoni is a sick man, trying to get cheap publicity by such acts
Yes, MSD needs to be applauded for the spirited gesture. We can only hope England reciprocates such sporting gestures during the series. Although team India are in difficult position they should keep up their spirit and fight it out till end. Prospects of course are not looking good because India is certainly not playing like No.1 side not being able to press home the advantage repeatedly One very peculiar problem Team India is facing is the English tail unable to clip even while getting the England Top order out cheaply.India will have to find solution for it. May be effective spinners. Bhajji is not able to spin side ways at all while GS is able to do it ? Then there is the batting problem with only Dravid and Laxman appearing dependable. A/Mukund should better learn to ‘leave balls’ instead of pushing and jabbing at every ball as SG says. Is Mukund ready for playing big Teams ? .Also, the tail seems to be starting from Dhoni with the last 5--6 wickets folding up for just under 25 runs ! How can a no.1 Side play like that ? What is needed is more 'application' especially from Dhoni, Bhajji and batters down up to the last man. Ishant with better defensive strokes who can ‘hang on’ should be sent after Dhoni. Incidentally it is not clear why Bhajji looks so angry when he comes to bat and then waves his bat aimlessly ? Bhajji is angry with whom ? Vijaya Mallaya ?

We have given a 5 5 scheme to England. If they take 5 wickets, balance 5 wickets are free. Great scheme from World no. 1 Team.
