All the teams have got bench strength.For India we have injury strength.Go for new recruit it do not make any difference whether we lose with the old or new at least the new players will be injury prone and they will play without headweight and monetary thinking
Why not look at options to replace injured & out of form players like - Zaheer, Harbhajan, Gautam.....We should look at Fast bowlers like Deepak Chahar, Dhawal Kulkarni, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron in pAce department. Pragyan Ojha, Iqbal Abdullah are good in Spin. Aakash Chopra has a lot of experiance as an openenr in England and should have been an obvious choice instead of Srikants Pet Mukund & his Son.
getting to the basics was needed gary waas a succesful captain unknown flecther has dropped india as a hot potato. does a coach make so much diferrence , by the way who was winning for india was it gary or was it dhoni let the answer come out.
Get Dravid,Laxman and Tendulkar..others will follow...its as simple as that when someone plays against india...so its high time for india to make sure,they groom some new faces in the indian team who can cope with any conditions..mainly on bouncy and seaming conditions...

excerpts since everyone will not read entire F-India program.
excerpts of "F-India" Program written below for AngLo-Dutch (most SA players are of dutch origin) team since EU coming together..
" the spider cameras on top are to record angles of players such as Laxman (at which they play) and then the bowlers can plan the length and angle to release the ball in order to hit stumps with swing dips. " " apart from various bowling practices. for the batting, tactics such as 4th-5th stump tactics was evolved and practiced vigorously ".
so where india stands here. Maybe would need some guts to see through. Because, Videshi media planning to counter and misinform and propaganda is very extensive as well.
Indias main strength is batting. And barring Dravid no one else in the team has shown the application to play test match cricket. We could not even post a score of 300 runs in one innings out of the 4 we have played in the past two test. What is HARBHAJAN SINGH's role in the test ?? JACK ASS. Mr Dhoni does not even behave like a leader. Always giving excuses. To say in the press conference that the bowlers were tired when we let England off the hook when they were at 124/8 at Tent Bridge was a shame. First day of the test match, only 45 overs in all bowled. And our captain says perhaps our bowlers were tired. Mr. Dhoni - Pls stop giving excuses.
Its just not bowlers even the batsmen did worse. The whole team played badly. BCCI stop making money and ruin the game concentrate on some quality cricket too.
Please stop this suggestion of "turning wicket". We are so called 'No. 1' in the world and we should be able to play on any surface without cribbing... there's no room for excuses. It's a sport.
