To all youngisthans Justify these (Mongisthans) players contribution in the team. 1.Rohit Sharma. 2.Sewhag. 3.Zaheer Khan. 4.Praveen Kumar. 5.Raina. 6.Jadeja. FYI, Gambhir in the last 2 years had played only 3 worthful innings. Virat Kohli is just a flash in the pan without any consistency. Irfan Pathan can never be used as a main bowler but only as a supporting 6th bowler. Ashwin , Rahul Sharma , Umesh & Vinay are the only new comers in the teams. Other fellows had minumum players 70-80 matches between them. Then why blame Sachin alone. Fools who quote ponting as an example should realise that australians are having minimum 5 worthful players to replace ponting like Watson, Mitchell Marsh.. etc.. But with whom are you going to replace Sachin, with. Manoj Tiwary????? How many centuries did he hit. If the same Sewhag who scored 219 in ODI’s a few months back is struggling, what will a Tiwary, Rahace can do. If they should be rotated, let Greats like Rohit Sharma, Raina, Jadeja be replaced with & not with Sachin. Sachin is not playing well, but that dosent mean that others are playing wonderfully. Maximum Rahane will score 5 & Tiwari will score 8 in Australian conditions presently. So, it is useless to blame Sachin alone. Afterall how much did Dhoni scored in the tests. If Dhoni, with his useless Helicopter shot can be in the team, anybody can be in this Indian team. Mind It…..

its really foolish to think there is no replacement for sachin...remember we won only one match in the tour, that is when sachin was not playing
I am in an opinion of teams bad selection process..Dhoni is a good captian..every body agress..he is telling senior players are not playing good cricket..look at the present indian team..who is playing good..only kohli little bit consistent..irfan little bit ok..rest all are nothig..it is not only seniors even the juniors are not good too..so Dhoni has to keep on eye toward juniors also.

Tiwary, understandable. But I have a doubt why no Ashwin. He did quite well in the power plays..... He can bat as well. Or is it for rotation purpose?

Kutty & Rathore Till the time we take straight forward decision and look at replacement of sehwag, tendulkar we r looking at a grim future
Predictions for SCG game vs Aus on Sunday: India wins toss (at last) Bats first(unless Dhoni has a brain freeze) Sachin and Sehwag bats well so does rest, may be the 100th 100 Puts up 250 to 270 Is able to defend that. But all these things have to happen !!!
We all agree that MSD is a great captain (ODI) and grt ODI player..but why he follows favoritism route? Why Raina & Vinay are given so many chances despite of their poor show ? Why Umesh Yadav has suddenly become a first-change bowler or the one who is being introduced on the bouncy track like Gabba in 23rd over?

Under Indian circumstances no individual can function in a political vacuum. There must pressure on Dhoni from certain groups. As long as he operates with minimal compromises, we should be ok. Even in England Vinay Kumar was preferred over Aaron Varun which surprised many.

For that we shall require to change rules. Sahwag can only be non-playing captain, given his brilliant record in England and Australia.
