give Credit to England. Remember Sachin's brother used to say he watches every match after its completed to watch his brother bat. WOW THAT IS AMAZING. If thats the stuff that made news than this is the state of Indian cricket.
England team read the pitch well and understood that it won't be easy to score runs and the only way to keep the score board keeps ticking was to stay at the wicket. That's exactly what they did and as a result reached a score of 330 after almost 4-1/2 session of play.
In response Indian batsmen failed yet again with the biggest blow was the wickets of Sehwag and Sachin. The latter MUST either quit or should be dropped from the team from all form of crickets.
Our lead bowlers Ashwin and Ojha fared very bad as they failed to force English batsmen to make a mistake. Plain spineless bowling with neither class or intention to take wickets.
Very sad to see Indian cricket reaching this level.
....their pockets getting full up! Full pocket is heavy, so they cannot do the running between the wicket. Also, then they cannot lifting bat to hit for fearing pocket tearing and all money on the pitch.. India Richest Cricket Teams but not the Best in worlds!
PLEASE ASK FOR THE RESIGNATION OF BCCI BOARD AND SELECTORS. ALSO ASK THAT HALF OF THIS TEAM SHOULD BE DROPPED. AND A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS TEST SERIES.
i tell with much pain. this team not good playing becaase of kumblei and dravid. they play long and not alow youngstars to play. how youngstar get training? you say... bangalore is bad.. there is no rain.. no water. chennai good. good idly, sambar and chutni. india team should include sadagoppan rames and balaji. sadagoppan stand like pillar and save india. balaji bowl like roket and cut wickets to peeces. then india win
Instead of following Cricket, I think the intelligent Indian should take solace in Badminton, where atleast some Indians are performing at par with the world's best...
I think BCCI should continue with Dhoni as a captain. Yes they need some changes in the team. It is not necessary that all the ODI players should play Test cricket also. It is totally unnecessary. One day cricket needs same players with flair but test cricket needs players with maturity. I think the batting style of Rohit Sharma is more suited to Test Cricket. India are spoiling this huge talent by playing him all the T20 cricket. Moreover, Chawla should be a regular in the test team. In my opinion Rohit can replace Sachin at No. 4. And Chawla is very good when he gives air to the ball. Jadeja is also very good, but Ojha is much better than him. Dhoni is gambling in the 4th test by playing Jadeja at No.6. He does not have the skills to match Laxman. So start with Rohit Sharma at 6 and then send him up at 4 after Sachin's retirement. Luckily Jadeja got some wickets but will he be able to play Anderson and Co. at 6. There is a big question mark on it.

Sehwag should also take some time off from test cricket. perhaps Murali Vijay can take his place. rohit should also come in as suggested . Tendulkar should face facts and take leave. He is unfairly blocking the future of other budding youngsters merely on the strength of his past records and reputation. His legs are stiff and he cant see clearly also. It was joked by someone that when Tendulkar plays the stumps needs pads!

Dear I.S Thanks. I need some youngsters (19-23 years) in team and I would like them to make many things learn in cricket. If I am given absolutely new team I will win all the matches on overseas soil too. Afterall I cant run from my responsibilities :)
