Better team
by AB Chaudhary on Dec 10, 2012 12:29 PM

No doubt Indian team can do better, but the English team looks much better test unit.. In past India has done well in tests iff Opening pair has done well .. else the middle order has not lived upto expectations .. Last innigs too opening stand was good enough to take things forward.. but........ ! Strengthen the middle order with players like badri .. Rahane who like to stay on the wicket ! No use of taking Amit Mishra or Piyush chawla .. they are not great bowlers who can make such a big difference, Give a chance to the bench players ! Better luck next time .. India team really needs this :) !

1) fitness. the more lethargic the team, the lesser are the chances of the team to capitalize on important crucial situations
2) Sachin. Whenever there is a great player in the team. The entire team looks up to him. Same is happening now, the team is mirroring what is going through him. He himself is low on confidence, same is reflecting on the team.
3) Too many batmen out of form, making comeback, low on confidence. There is a saying form is temporary and class is permanent. Probably it was said by some one out of form. You just cannot wait for players to get back to form, for eternity. One has to take call sometime. And if everyone respects ranji why not the likes of Gambhir, sachin go and work at their problems in Ranji
4) Lack of aggression from fast bowlers. Most teams fast bowlers really give it back with ball, words. Indians just dont want such people. There was one - Sreesanth. The entire media made sure he lost his aggression. We must encourage aggression among fast bowlers.Its a good thing.
5) Last but not least. Every captain in history had a say in choosing his own team - clive llyod, border, imran,akram,ganguly why not dhoni. everytime he picks/backs a player the entire media goes after the player. if captain wants young team, whats wrong ?

he is injured. but exactly, he had aggression to bowl fast, bouncers etc. and its not that india dont have good fast bowlers. just that they are not encouraged.even steyn, shoaib,waqar,donald go for runs. but they never changes his style or reduce pace. they always bowls fast with aggression.

injured by whom BCCI because if you realise what is happening then let me tell you some facts which you too can understand.
1. Harbhajan senior with experience was called in Mumbai but not used at the start of the spin attack and under used.
2. Bhajji dropped in the kolkata test because of fever and bhajji is seen dancing in the dressing room after sachin gets his fifty. WAS BHAJJI REALLY SICK OR DID THE CAPTAIN HAVE HIS SAY IN DROPPING HIM.
3. The team is not supporting DHONI because of his attitude problem he has had with everybody else sparing Kolhi / Ashwin and Raina.
4. Do realize that we won the world cup because it was termed as Tendulkars last world cup and every body worked towards it.
5. Dhoni has not been able to earn the respect of the team because of the controversies he gets into every now and then.

A MAN WHO DOES NOT RESPECT OTHERS CANNOT BE A TEAM MAN AND INDIAN SELECTORS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OR PRODUCT ENDORSEMENTS AROUND THE CAPTAIN WILL START WITHDRAWING SOON AND SO WITH BCCI.

facts - here are thye.
1) Harbhajan has not done anything significant ever since anil kumble resigned. IT was a surpirse to many that he made it to T20 WC side in first place.
2) if sachin who got him into mumbai indians as captain does well, he has to dance and encourage
3. When you are selected to play for the country over million others then you better give 100%
4) correct, world cup was termed as Sachin's last. but in the end who did the most crucial act in final.
5. Every captain especially in india is bound to have controversies.So did Ganguly. but, why did sachin avoid captaincy the second time ?

If he dhoni wasnt a team man, he would have said blatantly he will concentrate on records and his form. and not take additional pressure.
Here are the facts you needed.

new blood
by Venugopalan on Dec 10, 2012 12:22 PM

the selectors have taken the right decision to drop players like uv, zaheer n bhajji..sachin was saved due to his good display in first innings..now they must induct players like, rohit sharma, jadeja, and a new fast bowler, and plus ajinkya, manoj tiwari..even asking dhoni to sit out for one match should also be considered..

By fixing charges against the team players we will get nothing until they are warned to be paid only if they play to their potential each.

1. not good start by openers, if so not converting into big one.
2.sachin low on confidence
3. needless runouts.
4. costly catch drops
5. arrogant batting by dhoni,virat and yuvi
6. zaheer's poor fitness ( good that he has been shown door)

About Dhoni he is not even 10 % to play a test match.
