Fully agree. His bowling was pedestrian that even my mom (borrowing Boycott's phrase) can play him with her left hand.
could do anything to take a wicket still and he says he wasn't surprised at his inclusion... i think he forgot that he was included to take wickets and not fill in the bowling quota for the day...
however I wud not be hard on him as the big d0gs like bhaji, zaheer, ishant, sreeant couldn't do anything... what will this poor guy do...
shame on the indian cricketers for putting up a pathetic show...
Novak Djokovic was always having the talent, but he was not able to get results he wanted because all his efforts would rebound against the wall of Federer and Nadal. What did he do? He did not accept it as his fate. He started working on the only asset he had: His body. He cut down on unnecessary intake, and took up a strict fitness regime. Today, he is the best player on the circuit, because he is the fittest player on the circuit. Anyone who wishes to overtake him, must follow the same path, and become fitter than him. The fitness level of Indian players is pathetic. Most of them, are not fit enough to be participating in international sports. Now that they have been well and truly whacked by a fitter side, they would be advised to start working on their fitness all over again.

Agreed. If you want to be the best, you have to think like the best.

There is lot of difference between the eating habits in Serbia (Djokovic home country)and in India.You mentioned he cut his diet  which i mean was getting leaner and stronger and intaking only required constituents Protein mainly in the form of Fish Tuna or lean red meat (beef bacon pork etc) with proper exercise.Most of these things like beef are considered bad (unreligious)in our country and hence not easily accessible.Moreover Indian players want to enjoy their life eating drinking  all the junk after all they have earned money with such hardwork and dedication on the field and serving their country like in the first three test of the series

Fully agree. The fitness levels of the Indian team looks pathetic. Even Dhoni (supposed to be the fittest) was not looking good while batting or while running between the wickets.
