If India had scored fast If the umpires had given the right decisions If Sammy had not dropped Dravid If Kumble had bowled If Sachin was there If Sehwag was there If Chanderpaul had not scored so slow If WI had played badly If Dhoni got up on the right side of the bed
WI could have won the series 3-0
If India had played badly If Dravid had not played his role to the T If Laxman had not played his role to the T If Ishanth had not bowled that way he did If the umpires gave the wrong decisions always If Gayle had played

I am sure you must not be pleased with the efforts of our this Indian Team to accept for a drawn even without making any serious attempt to win...
If Kumble had been there, we would have gone through their tail without any problem and we would have been rejoicing a 2-0 victory today.. Harbhajan is only BOL BACHCHAN..No actions only words!! He cant even get the fast bowler Edwards out!!
What rot Mr Fletcher is talking? When B grade batsman of WI could score runs on this ptich, it does not suit the Indian coach to give lame excuses. Even the postures of Indian players were such that they were not interested in any result, forget about winning the match. So no excuses Mr. Fletcher, accept that we could not use the pitch like WI's

It was not the matter of scoring runs, it was the case of scoring the run fast with the rate 4-5 per over.... Neither team maintained the runrate of 3 either.
If scoring runs are so difficult, how come the WI tail of the last 4 wickets on a 5th day ended up such big score?
It is time for sending Harbhajan Singh out of the team.
He might be celebrating his 400th scalp, but if he has any shame he should retire immediately.
If this so called world class spinner can not bowl out the the last 4 wickets of a B class team on a 5th day wicket, he should be good for nothing.
Indian pacers didnt show any guts, when Chanderpaul virtually standing at 90 degrees while facing them. No fast bowler worth his salt will tolerate this and consider this as an ultimate insult.

WI score only 2.44 RPO joker. Scoring 5 -6 RPO joker like you dont know how hard in this pitch.

India, unlike Pakistan, won the test series, that too without Sachin, Sehwag, Gambhir and Zaheer.

so what. Even WI was without Gyle & tylor. also many decison went against WI in 2nd & 3rd test
This series has proved that with the exit of Sachin,Dravid,Shewag and Laxman,cricket in India will go down as is happened to West Indies,Australia etc.
See Harbhajan could not dent a B team and he acts he is much bigger than Kumble, who has won most of the matches for India.
As far as batting is concerned, least said the better.It is amusing to see the way Kohli,Mukund,Vijay ect, the new faces act as though they are better than Sachin,Dravid etc in batting.
Let us see how the greatest non performing captain Dhoni would deal later.
Anyways,being an indian,Let us wish all the best for Indian Cricket.

people forget that without Harbhajan, Kumble could not bowl the Windies out in 2006 first test and they were left at 9 wickets after more than 1 day of batting. So just saying Kumble would have done it is farce.
