Two things contributed for India's downfall. One the India's star batsmen's inability to cope up with the rising and swinging balls, resuslting in giving catch practice to slip cordon. And the second reason was the inability of our 'fast' bowlers, who could swing but the deliveries hardly rose about the wastes of the English batsmen. Another reason is when batsmen from No.1 to 6 don't suceed it is unfair to blame skipper Dhoni's batting when coming at No.7. Wish people are realistic before becoming critical of our players.

the balls should be sealed and locked SHOULD BE from a third country.
THE PITCH SHOULD BE SEALED AN LOCKED AS WELL.it should be noted how angrez do better in the morning since night allows them time to fix the pitch for angrez bowlers. by acting as friends of DRS oppostion, Angrez can buy or corner the DRS opposition as well. BE CAREFUL. --- REST IS ALL imPROPER TEAM SELECTION by selectors and it has been BAD SO FAR.
they dont have Pragyan, Rohit, R P Singh and second spinner such as Rahul YETTTTTTTT ....
No doubt angrez cheats did prepare seriously under the program to be number 1 team for quite sometime. they have great fitness, bowling precision was good to frustrate opposition, batting also had tactics and patience to frustrate opposition, etc.

Frustrate indian players and dominate worked.
DRS and cheat umpires BOOSTED ANGREZ CONFIDENCE after zaheer bailed out in Test 1. India could not recover from the fumble of test 1.
--
even after full DOMINATION by angrez, they are forcing DRS.
Ghoras showing on TV how DRS(ball tracking and hotspot and snickometer) would have saved Dravid caught decision and ishant LBW.
If dravid would have asked for DRS, they would have fudged him out. Since he did not ask they showed how DRS would have saved him. BOTH WAY ANGREZ CAN nail, be it manual or automatic.
Instead, Opposing cricket team better have better HD camera replays with 4th umpire or technician watching the replay (from seperate cameras of both teams) to give field umpire the feedback before he gives final decision.
NO ANGREZ Or GHORA DRS again after how angrez used DRS to gain confidence from 1st test onwards.

Great spin bowlers will tell you that on a turning wicket it is the straight ball that will get the wicket. Neither was he tossing up, nor was he bowling the googly. Turning square doesn't make one a good bowler, but taking wickets is. I Wonder what the coach was doing? Was he watching the match? Did he not hear Gavaskar saying so many times about Tendulkar being wasted in 3rd man for an entire day? Bollocks!

It's stupid to talk about Tendulkar fielding at 3rd man. There's no other place in the field where he could have been protected.
Re: BAN T20 Players for TEST

There is an Acharya running around these boards who will be very upset on hearing this.
His words were "Who cares about Ranji results"..... regarding test selection.
He prefers to see the performance in IPL....
Real piece of wasted work that Acharya. Half this, two thirds that... whatever.
top players like sachin,sehwag,dhoni,raina should adopt to test cricket from one dayers & 20-20 (where each & every ball is to be played & rememder it is indian condition). It can,t happen in test cricket that too, in english condition where the ball is seaming & swinging. The above players most of the time got out in slips looking to drive. IPL & the money behind IPL is killing their test cricketing skills. Look at dravid who has not played much of 20-20 or one dayers managing test cricket with skill.
