Why dont anybody blames IPL. It is root cause of all problems.See the immediate matches after ipl in last 3-4 years and u will see that india has struggled immediately after ipl.If this year ipl had not been after world cup,we may not have won world cup.See the last 20-20 world cup,we lost in early round because it was immediately after IPL.It was different this year as IPL was after world cup.If IPl had been before world cup,we have definitely not won world cup.Nobody critisizes IPl because everybody makes money like gavaskar ,shastri, other commentators,all cricketers except kapil dev who recently critisized ipl.Common man 14 matches for every team,give a break.Also our indian public is so fool that it dances to the fours and sixes although they dont know which team they want to support like punjab or delhi.So public, hate IPl and dont watch it and u will see it will vanish some years after.
I don't understand how MSD can blame schedule...he hardly played any cricket in West Indies..He took almost a month rest after IPL...And if Indian players are tired, why don't they take rest from IPL? Even Little master who doesn't play in national side of T20,play IPL..Zak,Bhajji,MSD everyone was fit in IPL & now we all know what happened...In international cricket, every team is playing more cricket these days..Look at England, they played with pakistan, srilanka & still they are winning..No team is complaining about schedule, Even OZs don’t when they are beaten in India badly..they accept that their team didn’t play well…Problem with Indian team is they don't improve upon their mistakes..Why yuvi/Raina are always vulnerable to short balls, even after so many years of international exp they behave like amateurs..So Mr.MSD should stop blaming schedule & focus on game & attitude..MSD should learn how to get England tail out...Indian bowlers should show some character instead of cramping under pressure when England tail shows resistance….after all we are the same team who beat Aus 2-0 & SA 1-1,WI 1-0 even eng 1-0 in 2007...Pls wake up MSD & team..

The game was out from india side when the loose 6 wickets in just 23 runs,and then they were never in this game,if you have to win the series with world no.2 side that too in their home ground,you should not play like club cricket which is playing for past 2 test.
The loss occurred due to improper batting application on 2nd day when India was onupper hand Dhoni played a loose shot so did yuvi, Tendulkar, if India might have got 150 lead the total situation would have changed.
loss is a loss. each of the players must truly believe in their ability to win a game.body language of the indian players was not exceptional as compared to the english side and at the same time wrong selection to a certain extent played a part in the 2nd test. india is a good side with some of the great players but technically andy flower the english coach had their problems sorted out which played a great role in english side win both of the test matches.geoff said indian side looked like a bangladesh team & this is what u expect a great side to look like when u r the no1. test ranked team. hope that indian team does not repeat then same mistakes again in order to lose the further matches.look at the line, length and the perfect combination of swing bowling from the english bowlers. Rest depends on the indian fast bowlers on how fast they learn from their english counterparts. Hope they provide a good show and india win atleast one match of the remaining two. Good luck to the indian team ........
England can only perform at home and that we all know... Have they forget the white wash in India... Let them come India and then we will see how much they swing and then how much they can handle spin...

Too much Cricket, Not Commitment by Seniors and Juniors, Too much of Over Confidence and Wrong Selection of Team. Why Harbhajan was player in the 2nd Test when we had Amit Mishra who is an intelligent bowler and English Men are susceptible to Leg Spin. We should have taken more experienced players rather than depending on Mukund, Raina and Yuvraj. Dhoni's is not a Test Player and he should have practised more. Asishis Nehra is a good Swing Bowler in England Conditions. Injured Players should have been given rest and it cuts a sorry figure when injured players are replaced with new ones. Kholi was ignored and he should have been taken instead of Mukund.Too much money and pampering also is reasons for Failure.
