the pitch was very difficult to bat before lunch yesterday . thats why even dravid got out cheaply. vvs some how managed but he too struggled early. how can we expect newbies like vijay,kohli to score on pitch where even laxman,dravid struggles?

What are you saying man? How many chances you will given to Vijay? He even can't face this week bowling attack Comparatively, what they will do further??? They should know they are playing for World Champion team and ranked second in Tests.
I would like to replace both the openers, Kohli & Bhajji with Badri, Rohit, Parthiv, OJha/Mishra for 3rd Test. Everybody deserves the chance, if main player is not performing... Parthiv and Dravid can open the batting...

Vijay, Dhoni, Kohli will do good when the pitch is made of sand and silt. the balls rolling low and Dhoni and the yougs working them nice. the balls should not also move either way. The umpires to declare them no.

India win for the olds. not for the so-called talented youngs. you must admit. still its laxman, dravid, sachin, sourav and kumble. the last two have quitted. wait for the other three to quit. Then see the fate of Dhoni. He should ask the umpire to declare balls rising above the knee roll as no.

das, we have started to win more tests and odis and lose less tests and odis since the new generation players have come. just take a look at the no. of tests and odis we won and no. of tests and odis we lost when sachin, dravid, sourav, kumble, laxman are there and when the new generations players are there.

Earned fame and money from IPL. Now the rising balls would take away his fame and there is no money for playing cricket for the nation. Why should he play? He must be scared again for the England tour. He will play safe if he again withdraws.

Very simple - it has always been his strategy to avoid tough series especially overseas to prolong his career moves

Wish to crack 100th 100 against a strong bowling attack like that of England.

but he can do only on a flat pitch in england. if the pitch is bowler friendly he will not be able to make 100 on that pitch...
The way these batsman of once might WI are looking reminds one of Indian team of early 70's who use to play for draw at best.The bowlers have done great job by dismissing strong Indian batting below 250 in all three innings but lack of application by batsman who are playing as if they are not paid for years have allowed India to come back.
