Thank god the nightmarish tours comes to an end and has busted one myth that BCCI is one of he best and professionally managed sports bodies. Just making Tons of money is not enough.True, Indian One day side has also won the WC but perhaps this WC win had made BCCI complacent for the English tour the casual way it was taken underestimating the English side. The TEST series was unmitigated disaster with heavy dependence on the aging seniors. Unless definite retirement plans are drawn for the seniors no effective succession plan can be drawn to replace them from among the youngsters. Look forward and retire Sachin and Laxman forthwith. Do not extend Sachin’s cereer indefinitely at the cost of youngsters’ career. It will go against the interest of Indian cricket. Dravid can be continued for another yr and proper succession found. Identify among youngsters only those who ‘fit’ the TEST mantle in terms of temperament, techniques etc. Likes of Raina, Yuvraj etc. do not appear suitable for TESTS. Next on the agenda must be the Bowling unit of younger pace and spin combination. With Zaheer,Bhajji etc. looking a spent force there are no viable pace or ‘spin’ option on the TEST horizon. BCCI have slipped very badly on the TEST front betting on the aged players for too long and it is doubtful if a strong TEST side can be put up any time soon.

Who Cares ABOUT Test Cricket,Except anti-indians and anti-nationas???The Time-wasting Test Cricket, 3 Day Crciket,etc was invented by crooked British Colonizers, like inventing Mahatma gandhee, the british double agent and non-violence to make People of Colonies Lazy&Morrons&vegtables and POOR Forever. The ODI matches and T20 match provided thrilling Cricket Unlike the Monotonous and Time Wasting TEST CRICKET which has wsted Millions of man or woman hours of our country and MADE US POORER too and this wastage of millions of working hours has been happending for the past 50 years and MORE and that is why we indians are 50 years behind China which does NOT have this anti-national time-westing game of TEST CRICKET. What a shame that patriotic citizens and leaders have NOT BANNED such a time-wasting game as TEST CRICKET and NOT enacted the law which states that ONLY ODI or short versions oc criket macthes MUST be played ONLY During Week-ends or Holidays so that our country does NOT become another african poor nation sooner or later. May be Anna Hazare and Patriots and RSS&BJP&VHP cadres MUST make a National Agitation to BAN TEST CRicket Forever too.

dr tintin ur g8 cl20 circus league has started join other clowns like sharukh and enjoy...
I am herewith sending strong message to England. Indian will beat England in all their matches when they visit India later part of the year. Dhoni wont leave them lightly. They have to pay price for it.
Every one knows that Dhoni was a Lucky captain. Captain is as good as the team. Unfortunately, every one was talking about Captain cool and great captain etc. We have not seen Dhoni playing consistently in any series. Luckily for him, he played the last crusial match of the World cup. If team wins, every one says Dhoni is the best. If the team loses, the bowlers let him down or batsmen let him down!
And as a lucky captain he made Millions and is still making money. One or two bad series would not affect him as Captain as there is no one near. I wish Virat matures as a player and becomes another 'wall' and a captain.
Lets not criticize Dhoni for the failures. But, let us also not raise him to greater heights when the team wins ! It is the team that delivers or fails.
