munaf should not turn into spinner and this is where they R leading Ishant into by messing his run-up and style.
These Indian pace guys should choose how many overs they will do PURE PACE and how many over of slow and mediums pace. And to whom. BUT SHOULD NOT turn into slow spinners on wrong advise.

2. Ishant is needed by Indian team and should be handled well by BCCI.
Instead of only trusting VIDESHI BOWLING COACH, ISHANT SHOULD WORK HIMSELF on no balls, take help of some player on WHERE HE NEEDS to put his second-last step before he delivers to avoid no-balls, MEASURE AND mark how many inches that SECOND-LAST STEP IS BEFORE THE CREASE. He can carry initially inchi-tape and mark place of second last step all the time.
DO NOT FORGET TO DO IT. THIS WAY he can increase his SPEED AND ACCURACY. AND should scrutinize what VIDESH COACH say, just don`t do if NO GOOD.
ishant, there are special exercise available for your height to increase flexibility such as to increase speed without strain (check Micheal Holding smoothness) and increase accuracy. Learn from likes of Micheal holding about variations (height, direction, length, swing, etc) in the releasing balls from the likes of Micheal holding. I can classify akram in later days as slow juggler of ball of prabhakar class, not an lethal pacer.

1. WI wicket-keeper had big role in winning that was missing for india.
we need a taller wicket keeper, Baugh though normal heigh could jump and catch bouncy.
Baugh could catch bouncy ball with one hand while Parthiv missed Ishants bouncy catch ball. Why DONT INDIA HAVE TRAINED AND BETTER WICKET-KEEPER. AT THE PRACTICE NETS, WE DONT TRAIN TALLER WICKET-KEEPER. WI PLANNED the wicket-keeper role well. even pollard planned better use of wicket-keeper to pressure indians.
Everyone can learn from WI keeper how he pressured indians who like to be on front foot by stumping them. WI KEEPER has big contribution in their win by pressuring indian batting. even pollard kept indian batsmen in crease and backfoot so they could not hit big.
...parthiv is too short to catch high and wide balls even if he leaps. parthiv is much slower as well IN COMPARE TO WI wicket-keeper. Try saha.
also, parthiv`s height makes him difficult for him to keep the ball down when it is bouncy ball. does not play per his height.
NEED to try the next wicket keeper (saha), nothing to loose
3. INSTEAD OF YUSUF who is out of form, INDIA SHOULD GET 3rd SPECIALIST SPINNER who can hit the ball as well, harbhajan fits the bill.
badrinath, yusuf, tiwari take rest. tiwari can field well.
It's look like a very exciting series scheduled between the TOP 3 Cricket powerhouse nations...imagining some non stop test action between India and Aus, and then a tri series featuring SL and that too in Aus will be fantastic to watch.. gr8 fixture..ICC
i think australia will lead both odi and tests because of their batting and bowling performence like brettlee hussy ponting watson haddin jhonson bollinger i hope they will retain no 1 spot in tests still they are no 1 in onedayinternationals
