Instead of blaming the seasoned and experienced batsmen for not delivering, its better to blame Ashwin for not converting his 30s to 100s. When he can score a century in India why not in Australia.. that too after scoring 30 odd runs in both the innings. Leave out the specialist batsmen - who unfortunately could not get past single digit scores... its only for ppl like Ashwin to prove and seal his place in team.. experienced people can relax and pose for photos if something good happens!!!

First throw out Laxman and Gambhir. Laxman is a burden. He scores once in 7-8 innings and everyone sings praises of him. If he had scored some runs in the first innings when India were 214/3, things would have been different, but he played a loose shot. He struggled in the 4 tests in England and also here. Gambhir does not have the technique nor comfidence to score on bouncy wickets, he just hangs his bat outside the off stump and gets out.

Laxman is the main reason why India has won tests outside the subcontinent. When all ur hyped batsmen failed (which is usual), he has played single handed match winning innings (sometimes even with tail enders). Gambhir has the capability to get big scores, just some minor modification in technique needed.

Jiju:
Yeah... his usual style is - fail in first innings, which builds tremendous pressure on the team, then come around in the second and "save" India... :) Unfortunately he didn't pull it off at MCG.. :(

Tony Greig is taking on India big time in the channel 9 comm. box for bcci anti DRS stance. Tony criticised how come dravid no ball was referred on day2 by umpires but same review cannnot be applied on edges and caught behind. In fact early on day3 Bill Lawry corrected Greig by telling him :Hello Tony a no ball is a no ball"

Hello Abhijit, a Hussey no edge is a no edge. Tony just called a spade a fking shovel.
Indian team always strugles in other pitches...before the Ausi series start itself there was so much talking about Indian team...and as if they are going to beat Australia...so many expert opinion as Indian team invinsible...guys those who watched the match everyday...get a life and spend the time with your family out.
