every dog on the planet knew he should have started ishant sharma after lunch immediately which would have given us a chance to win. Instead kumar (who shouldn't be in the team) and bhajan (washed out loser) gave up a big partnership.. and ishant came in later and took wicket but it was too late.
Dhoni needs to stop acting like a smartazz and make simple decisions without haste.
Ishant sharma was not adequately used on the 4th day,instead Raina was asked to bowl after lunch on day 4 .What is the point of not using your strike bowler when he is needed the most? If not bowl, what is Ishant Sharma in the team for? When asked about it in the press conference what was the answer given by Ishant Sharma : " I am also a human ... I also get tired! wow! And we are expecting India to win at Lords against a resurgent English team ? Against the team which has won the Ashes after defeating the mighty Aussies at their home? Forget it, we simply do not deserve to be the no1 test team.
why should a team consists of 15 players is not passed the fitness test in the first instance & one broke down at the first day itself. what's in store for the remaining players. one has to appreciate sehwag , more over the team should be selected based on form & fitness. if Rahul can be forced as a stop gap opener, why not make him open & select yuvraj, amit mishra should be the first choice spinner based on current form. this is a test match & the best availabe xi should play & not on reputation.
