In last ODI, Manoj Tiwari scored an unbeaten Century. In Ranji Trophy matches, he was in superb form. Whereas, Raina is a super flop in international matches as well as in Ranji trophy in the entire season. And still Raina is playing because he is blessed by BCCI president, Chairman of selectors and the Captain because he plays for Chennai Super Kings.
Why Sachin is icluded in the ODIS? He had enough chances to score in the tests to score the 100th ton and he failed. No leniency shouldhave been given to him.

Don't know when we 'll stop playing selfishly for records and start lerning from greats like Mcgrath, Warne, steve waugh etc. who retired at the top era of their career, to give a fare chance to the young prospective stars....

Well said. And look at our Kohli. Scoring selfish centuries at Adelaide, whilst 28,337 players are waiting that Indian players will do some charity for them and "let them come into the team".. :)
Ozzie want indian bowlers to play in their comfort zone i.e great pace. that zone is not spin centric. this is where the imported coach and staff, the idiot media helped videshi cause.
india should have quality pace for practice by indian batting and to take advantage from pressures coming from spin. And ojha can make difference because ashwin is overexposed. bring legends of spin to improve the spin and have good quality pace to take advantage of it. have sehwag replace gambhir. can we end the trend of having imported ghora coaches and staff? coach is not proper taking wicket of snicks and bounce by relying on mistakes??? INDIA IS GIVING OZZIES THEIR SUCCESSS... ... THIS KIND OF PACE CAN BE HIT ALL OVER play from outside off stumps or off 5th stump instead of snick for the bBalls hitting the deck on the off. coming back to middle for short pitched in-swinger or in-cutter is habit for good players.
Direction of slash on rising bBalls was improper.it should be behind wicket-keeper or lobs to begin with. indian batting should take one step at time.
players like sehwag need stepped approach to odd bBalls like full-toss.

continued .. india need to correct their deeply flawed technique against pace and odd spin (like full toss). Clarke said it all, Ozzie pace hits the deck per the plan while indians fall for it.
