Do this selection committee has any vision for future of Team India. I am afraid Kris Srikant do the selection in the same manner as he used to do batting i.e. 'carefree'. This current selection Committee is only living on the good work done by the earlier selection Committee.

Even Dhoni was riding on the team prepared by Ganguly and to a certain extent Dravid/Kumble. Really, with the possible exceptions of Ishant Sharma, not a single worthwhile player came up since 2005!! Praveen is only 6 tests old - hence too early to comment in spite of his decent performance in England.
Where are those jockers who talked of retiring old players to give chance to young blood ? Where is that trio of commentators : Gavaskar, Shastri & Bhogale ? Where are those who explained that Suresh Raina is the best cricketer ? Where are BCCI, selectors & Srikanth ? Just to make money, all these crooks kept on providing Indians with non sense stuff in the name of cricket & marketed rubbish ignoring real merit. When quality & merit are forgotten, you get such results, nothing to wonder. There is more money in IPL & ODIs, so why bother about Test matches !!! Be sure, these crooks will again start selling all these rotten stuff again. The more you get fooled, the more they make money - each of the above idiots !!

Srikanth is the greatest salesman and chamchagiri you can find in indian cricket for all times to come.
Follow Dravid School of Cricket, if somebody wants to excel in Cricket. A Sheer determined and a real Bloke to learn from all the basics of Patient test cricket. Hats off King Dravid.

Biw Dravid has scored 3 centuries in lost causes , would you undermine the effort of his just cause the team lost.
If you know your cricket , you will realise we lost to a very good team.
England bat very deep , right upto number 10 even if we left out Anderson who is no mug with the bat and can hang around. So with the toothless and useless attack >look where DHoni collects the balls always near his shoe lace , the slips therefore stand much behind you will seldom see Indian slippers taking catches near their shoulder always diving forward and we dont learn .How can you win with Harbajan Singh bowling the way he is , he was played more cause he is deemed to score some useful runs. Even with Zaheer we only have a decent attack not like England our bowlers are a good 15 Kmph slower.
Now coming to batting effectively we played with 3 batsmen Sachin, Dravid and Laxman . These were the only wickets that mattered who exuded any confidance when they were at crease , we lost a couple wickets against the run of play at crucial times , Laxman a couple of times to pull shots , run out of Tendulkar and he being unwell at Lords besides the misfortune of Dravid s dismissal in both innings of last test.
The youngsters were a total flop raina and yuvraj and dhoni just didnt measure up.What a shame just about 30 overs to be negotiated in the last innings and we might have saved the test we lose 7 wickets for 21 runs.
SO please analyse properly, i mean no offence to anyone just my v

Dravid scored 3 centuries in lost causes, that does diminish his efforts just cause we lost.
We lost to a very good side.England bat very deep,up to number 10 after leaving out Anderson who is no mug with the bat and can hang around,while our batting ends with at 7 in seaming/swinging conditon.Toothless & useless attack draw was our best result.Fielding, start with DHoni he collects the ball always near his shoe,the slips therefore stand much behind you will seldom see Indian slippers taking catches near their shoulder always diving forward and we dont learn .How can you win with Harbajan Singh bowling the way he is, was played more for his batting than belief he wud get wickets. Even with Zaheer we only have a decent attack unlike potent English our bowlers are a good 15 Kmph slower.

Nice play with the words. Good post though not many may agree with the content. Good job!
sachin only confessed that modern camera and computers will make misearble to score in future but how come kevin peterson, bell managed to do excellent foot work and score double hundreads no indian except rahul dravid did some foot work to make good length ball hit for boundary 4 or 6 so it is lack of concentration is true reason 0-4
Is Sachin had any important role for winning any series for INDIA ?He piled up runs as his age grown up,other than piling up runs do any of his Innings denote/refer/cherish for importance. Look at the India Population.There are many youngsters waiting for a chance and it is very disgusting to see the role play behind by some sorts of group ? BCCI ? Selectors ?regional Commentators ? allowing him to play for such a long period by denying geniune young players.
It is high time to apply force by all like BCCI, Selectors, Bombay commentators,Ex-players to make him retire or else to take a hard decision by BCCI and Selectors?

In test matches, Tendulkar has 51 test centuries (in either innings) and 20 times India recorded victory while 20 other times match ended up as draw, leaving us with 11 defeats.

This defeat is end result of playing IPL players in test matches and making sachin a GOD. Remember sachin also shits daily as we do, so he is a simple good cricketer, thats all.
