sachin is having tremedous experience so he is not sharing his experience with his team mates rather sachin is not all the team leader that is why sachin was made captain of test cricket by influence of gavaskar but 0-3 white wash in australia made sachin quit leadership now dhoni is also failure to motivate his team unlike alister cook motivated brits after 9 wicket loss at ahmadabad in fact when player like sachin is there in team there in no need for coach
what a statement ! This is what India young brigade is all about? Laxman, Dravid goes and Sachin, Sehwag form is gone and we see what our young brigade is good for. Ojha says we can draw the match and it's only 3rd day complete.
They are more worried about global economy, investments, flats being contructed with IPL money and how will their mind be willing to concentrate for Test cricket for which BCCI pays peanuts.
Anyways let them play more IPL and be happy. Cook today is simply great as he has focussed on playing valuable cricket for his country and make himself richer playing IPL.

Correct, and the worst part is the definition of "youngster".... Raina/Kohli are called youngsters and they have played 151/90 ODIs each....!
People cry that we played IPL from 2007 or 2008. But they should understand that players could switch over from IPL mode to test mode without much difficulty. Not like now when shot selection, field placement etc are a total ripoff...!

only mirracle will save test tomorrow as india has to play upto tea time to save the match 60 overs
Well five things occurred in the pitch that caused the debacle . 1.Day 1: Nothing in pitch for the indian batsmen 2.Day 2: Nothing in pitch for the indian bowlers 3.Day 3: Nothing in pitch for the indian bowlers 4.Day 4: Nothing in pitch for the indian batsmen 5.Day 5: Nothing in pitch for the indian bowlers
He was the one who fought and fought for his country in test matches. Many ddumbos questioned his scoring rate but forgot that because of stability that Dravid provided at one end, others were playing with freedom at the other end.
No wonder why one of the most outspoken cricketers and sharp analyst, Atherton, choose Dravid when asked whom will you want to bat for your life..

It's Dravid more then any one. He was the one who fought and fought for his country in test matches. Many ddumbos questioned his scoring rate but forgot that because of stability that Dravid provided at one end, others were playing with freedom at the other end.

How wud world champs react to such a situation? AUS-we vl give our 100 pc to yield a result, either a win or defeat! IND- our plyr vl pull off a DRAW ! WORLD CHAMPS INDIA !
1. Asswin takes a hat-trick with his mystery ball in the first over. 2. Dhoni yells from behind the stumps, Bowling ... Asswin" 3. Manjrekar, Dravid, and Gavaskar hail Asswin as the best thing ever happened to Indian Cricket. 4. Harbhajan is forced to retire and marries Geeta Basra. 5. Sehwag hits the fastest century in a Test and Gautam Gambhir is run out this time 6. Tendulkar then makes a double hundred, supported by hundreds by Pujara, and Kohli 7. Yuvraj hits Monty for six sixes in the last over on the fifth day.
But wait ... it was all a dream! Monty Panesar and Swann took five wickets each and the match finished on the fourth day.
