1) ULTRA-DEFENSIVE when the opposition is on the mat - even a kid can tell that you need to attack when the opposition is struggling.
2)FIELDING FIRST - Look at the opposition bowling...then look at the Indian batman...many of the batters havent even played test cricket.
3) TOO DEPENDENT ON PART-TIME SPINNERS - This is due to the illusion created by the win of Chennai Super kings in IPL.
4) LACK OF STRATEGY - No special tactice for any batsmen...look at Amla...we kept bowling to his strength outside off stump and he just kept getting runs by throwing the bat at the ball. There were absolutely no short pitched stuff at him... the moment the cricket ball was brought back into him he got bowled and caught behind (by Zaheer and Munaf). However, in the next match no lesson was learnt...we kept giving him lollipops ouside off stump....Amla must be rejoicing at our Indian analyst who just roams with his laptop.
1. V. Sehwag(Great opner) 2. T. Sachin(Great opner) 3. V. Kohali/G.Gambhir (cool Batsman) 4. S.Raina / Yuvral S. (Quick Heater) 5. M.S. Dhoni (captain & wicket keeper only not abling to Bat) 6. Y. Pathan (1 man army) 7. H. Singh (Bowl & Bat indain pitch) 8. Z. Khan (faster bowl) 9. Pravin Kumar (Good bowl on IND pitch) 10. Ashwin /chawla (spinner for IND pitch) 11. Munaf / Nehra (Another faster need)
Agreed, rohit went across, but the ball from Tsotsobe was certainly angled (and was left arm over the wicket),
ball dropped at middle and off. if rohit left the ball, it would go outside offstump. Rohit went across the angled ball and got inside edge ( making a > with the ball) ) . Even if he played straight or have his body facing the ball, he would have a better chance to hit this slow ball.
Indian players loses good players due to lack of mentors and competition.
need to click but it needs to change... how long the team is going to carry yuhi and raina and dhobi based upon their past performances... time is now for atleast raina and yuhi to be kicked out for good...
I think Dhoni is out of form...rest all are doing good. He is afraid that Parthiv will click and he will get kicked out. Kohli is the next captain for me

This is a fact that Parthiv is a better wicketkeeper than Dhoni. Dhooni is realy lucky to be the captain of the team which he is continuing since long without any batting or wicketkeeping performance continuously.
Re: Instead of middle order why don't you say Dhoni to Click

I agree. Sehwag or Gambhir should be given the captaincy. BST
