Its down hill from this point. This has been a problem with Indian team right from the days of Shastri, Kirti Azad etc who came in as specialist bowlers and converted themselves into batsmen and forgetting abotut bowling altogether afterwards. only exception to this was Kumble who also bowled consistently well. Hope Ashwin emulates Kumble and not Shastri.
Pathan brothers are better than Ashwin and Jadeja. It;s better to give opportunities to them rather than Ashwin. Also both are better all rounders and very good fielders. It's unfortunate that Pathan brothers are not getting any opportunities.
Also it is better to bring back Harbajhan Singh who is a far better spinner.

See who fought till last to bring victory to India. Ashwin, Jadeja and top of all the consistent Virat Kohli. Do we need the services of Seniors like Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid and Laxman who just think about improving or creating records for them and never bother to get a victory to their team. I do not know when they think they are becoming old and should give younger players an opportunity to come forward in their career.

There is nothing senior or junior. There are Indian team members who are performers or non performers.
I wouldn't be surprised that Australia win 90% of the games against both sides who played a very mediocre cricket in this ODI.Cricket is a game where even B'desh wins once in a while for me to keep 10% cushion in prediction
