India really needs Sachin at this time of need. Wish Sachin, being experienced One Day player currently in England can stepup and take Gambhir's spot in the T20 side.
Unfortunately, Sachin only wants to play T20 in IPL..
Dravid stepped up to fill the void, but he hasn't played even ODI for India in last couple years..

Yes... just like you are playing for money in your game. Same way he too plays for money in his game u snake.
rotation determine kharega kaun better hein since pragyan and rahul sharma were denied chance in practice match.
Conditions and fitness will determine pacer selection. Angrez game is more of a machine method game hein rather than natural game. though it is up-to desi batting kheey lhiyee to turn it around khud kheey good kheey lhiyee.
Angrez will apply the same plan to push back as they did earlier, desis would have to learn where dravid did well and rest did not jhissey vooha videshi phaar apply khareey pressure jhaldeey sheey. i would rather examine the bunch of white balls angrez bowlers are given and see how they behave at begin and in the middle overs. Angrez always like to have a cheat advantage as they did in Test 1 by various means.

Dhoni says that facing pace hurt him. Australia, SA and England Wicket-keeper put up with faster bowling than Indian pacers be it Ishant or whoever. Dhoni needs to get proper therapy whenever he is allowed rest during rotation and should have therapy after the end of Wicket Keeping day. No more Daru to relax after end of play day. Ship them to my pub in Miami.
Best Team 1)Tendulkar (Cap) 2)Dravid 3)Robin Uthappa 4)Rohit sharma 5)Yusaf Pathan 6)Irfan Pathan 7)Rahul Sharma 8)Parthive Patel 9)Vinay Kumar 10)RP Singh 11)Ajit Agarkar Ashwin must be dropped. Srikanth and Srinivasan go away No team in the world can beat this super team.

Are u in senses?..Tendulkar is horrible as a captain..His batting was revived after he refused captaincy .Agarkar is horrible in death overs, he has age old habbit of giving 5 byes down leg side in last overs. Parthive patel has rarely performed well at international level. Yousuf Pathan is Messi(Football) of cricket who performs consistently well only in club matches. Dhoni is still the best man to lead country, though his position will be very doubtful if he continues like this in next two-three series as well.

ashwin never had chance to play against England. English batsman are not good at facing spinners

Why not? India team can only go up from where they are right now. We can try anyone and it can only be better. Gopalram, you should consider yourself for the team

Arey Gopalram uncle...
Why Tendulkar ? He has to be fit for the most important cricket tournament in the universe... The IPL-5,6,7,8,9,10 etc... right.
Test matches and ODIs are just ordinary events where playing for country is not that important. Playing for IPL is the priority 1 for any INDIAN cricketer including him in world today
