Two players are permanent in India team. 1) M S Dhoni as Indian captain. and 2) Sachin Tendulkar. When 0-4 in England and 0-4 in Australia could not change the scenario then how it will be for 1-3. Definitely this is better than previous resullts.
If all the old horses are to be put to sleep, the so called cricket fans should boycott the matches they play. Except this, nothing can be done for these scoundrels to be kicked out. They are very powerful with political backup and Sachin is now a Congress RS MP. Dhoni, from Jarkhand, a tribal base. Regarding Shewag and Ghambir, they have strong hold in Delhi. Yuvi and Harbajan has in Punjab. Our BCCI is just like local TVs Zee, Star, etc., which keeps chruning out repeatedly shown movies day in and day out.
Only the cricket fans and lovers can save indian cricket team and its pride.

he has a very young bowling team. Taking wickets at top is so important.Zaheer has not been able to give breakthroughs.But, good to see Ashwin and Ojha learning something from their experiences. liked the line ashwin bolwed in second inns.
I respect this guy but sometimes he is crazy- Bhajji should not have been there in the first place and Yuvi-too many cancer sentiments. He looks like a failure in Test as suspect against high quality spin and pace though talented like Rohit
Dear Sachin -Before you r discarded by people announce your retirement from all types of game.Because people loves you only if u r doing well Dhoni-You r an arrogant fellow should be sacked imedietly along with selector Srikanth.

Sachin-his vote is required in Rajya Sabha, plus Indian sports is in the doldrums -he can play a role at National level instead of clinging to the bat
Dhoni-time for him to go as captain of Test team. Is Gautam playing politics?

see whether sachin retires or not, it his personal call and for what he has done or achieved, he should call the shots and no one has right to retire him. But, should he be in the team, its selectors decision. They are best to decide whether a 39 year old is good enough to play for India. Many people have retired being out of the team. Ganguly,Dravid,Laxman a few recent examples. There is no such rule that he should retire when he is in team.
We need to revamp the entire team, mst importantly, we want a new Captain, Dhoni is out of wit and wisdom, and is too low on esteem and confidence, let him rest for sometime, we may have a good captain in Kohli, or Sehwag. We need to have Bhajji in the team, The team has to be - Sehwag (Captain and opener) Gauti (Opener) Ajinkya Rahane (Third opener) Pujara (no.3) Rayudu (no.4) Kohli (no.5) Ashwin (no.6) Saha (wicket keeper and no.7) Yadav (bowler 1) Avana (bowler no. 2) Bhajji (bowler no. 3) Chawla (bowler no.4)/Dinda (alternate bowler4)
The problemwith Indian cricket is players get auto select mode moment the score 2-3 centuries. Though Indian cricket playing 11 had the bunch of players of worldrepute always, who have played more than 100 tests, we have never won somany matches! Allpaper tigers! On the contrary,Australians always win matches with the helpof new comers !There team never bost of more than 2-3 seasoned campaigners. If all the teams in the world has different captains & teams for different formats,why not India? Sachin would have been remembered as a great if he were to quit when teamis doing well. It is high time we remove Dhonifrom5 days along with Sachin& co.

Dhoni has been begging for young fresh team. every captain in history has got the team that he wanted. azhar,kapil,ganguly why no dhoni. He is given a poor team and then u blame him.
