revenge? R u out of your mind? Dravid was the only person to play some kind of cricket in tests from Indian side. Don't criticize just for the heck of it.
It is apparent that the Indian Team was found wanted in the bowling & fielding departments in the ODIs. Had RP Singh took the catch of Bopara when he was on 62, the match would have been different. U have to hold such chances to become a champion team and not let the opponents off the hook. And on a swinging pitch, not playing Varun Aaron was defying logic. India need to hve tear-away fast bowlers to revel in ODIs in the coming future. Too much reliance on a not-so-fit Zaheer Jhan and the old man Munaf is not going to be good.

Oops, typo errors...should be "found wanting in the bowling..." in the beginning and "Zaheer Khan" in the last sentence.
MSD have never gone through ugly phase of career. This is his testing time. Luck is not favoring him and soon he will contact his pandit , who had advised him to go bald in midnight after winning world cup. Result can be seen when England will came in india and will play against fit side..
Parthiv Patel showed that how a player can be successful with only one short in his bag.
He can play short ball well (means pull, huk, cut etc.) But what about when the ball is pitched up. He looks awful when the ball is pitched up. In his 5-6 innings so far in England, I have not seen a single cover drive or straigt drive for four.

no, when pitched up and its swinging nobody can .. even the great 10dulkar can't play at it. learn cricket first. these guys should watch Kevin Pieterson how does he negotiates the swing by moving across the stumps outside off. lack of foot work ... thats all he need to be corrected

what "even the great tendulkar" ? is he a god or jumped from skies? what did he do when we went down 4-0 in test series?

Guess no captain would have ever pointed a finger to his own team as well about the "ugly side"!!! Dhoni is pushing the benchmark higher and higher for a player and a captain..
Indian team was wasting time in setting field & also stayed in for more than 5 minutes which costed us match in final count.India could have bowled the last over if MSD has taken his side to field immediately after first stop.
