Dravid, Sachin & VVS Will retire, but wonder how they cant even score like ashwin. 30 runs per batsman is itself enough to win this test.. so its only better to play with 10 bowlers & one wicket keeper.. ! or send school boys..

I can understand ur frustration. But the fact is Sachin, Dravid and Laxman are by far the best batsman available in our country.No youngsters can come close to them in matter of scoring runs or defending good deliveries..So there is no question of replacing these legends by youngsters of India... May be we have to amend ICC rules so that we can allow Aussies youngsters to play for India (even they are not comparable in their own yard)..Thats impossible!!

thats a BS statement. Show me one extra-ordinary match these guys have won (please don't produce the list of Bangladesh, Africa, Ireland, Canada matches, etc)
Just throw out Dhoni from any Test Team when India is playing outside the country. This will atleast give chance to someone Young. And moreover we have enough of His Political statements at the end of every match we loose.
The so called best batting line upteam lost the match by 122.If this is the performance of best batting line up why not to give chance to young playres to perform,Dravid dropping dolly catches in slips since long,tendulkay paying for 100 ,Laxman playing with previous reputation.Old guns please give chnace for new ones for better future cricket.

Talk something sense. If India has to do well in the series, it has to be DRAVID SACHIN and LAXMAN who should be among runs.
Youngsters are given chance..Murali vijay, Mukund, Pujara, Kohli and we all know how they stand up when it matters most.
Fielding, even best of best will drop catches. FYI Dravid is the one who has taken most number of catches apart from wicket keepers. Dravid is the highest run getter for India in 2011 tests for India. Not your youngsters......
five tests outside, five losses... Clearly indicates that we are only lions at home. Moreover IPL has killed the spirit of Nationality and Cricket amongst our players. See, 290 odd runs to chase with star studded Indian batting lineup, in five sessions... And they could not survive even 2 full session. What the mindset. No particular player can be held responsible. It the team management i.e. coach, his team, caption and chairman selection committee is responsible only.. They should give them the lessons, what test cricket exactly is... Ask every player, not try to intimate Sehwag!! Be original. And value your wicket...
