For this Poor show BCCI should take the following stringent action against players
1. 50% salary cut 2. Ban on Players atleast for 5 years not to sign any advertisement endorsement. 3. Existing Remuneration out of their Brand endorsement should straight away go to poor and needy peoples' fund 4. No more pariticipation in Realty show etc and thereby revenues should be banned 5. Restricting players not to provide spicy great interviews to media as if they are like bradman and kapildev. 6. Sack them if they are not continuosly playing good cricket in 3 matches..
Over and above keep them away from all media, politics etc and their concentration should be only towards game and let them only play for mother india and not for their pockets......

@Suppandi: good... Very important point i have missed ... Every year IPL and itz minting money is another major factor for leading players not show much interest on test matches... We have to fix this first... Sports should not be too commercial and there should be some sort of spirit and pride that they are playing for their mother land :)!
the moment we were whitewashed by eng, coming after a sweet world cup victory and a series win in WI and to see us play as badly as they had done the same with england, sounds something fishy..
is all well between the BCCI and the players? is it something related to coach appointment?or is there a wider political ramification within the BCCI?
Mnay of our players are overrated and average age is above 30, which is uncricketing to say the least. Indian team is not really representative of good players from across, but still the hegemony of certain section(s), partisanism, nepotism, lobbying, etc and list is long, play a big part in selection. Ashwin , Ishant, are worthless listless in performance, they r good for gully cricket In INDIA not for competitive game of cricket overseas. Ojha is conspicuous by his absence. Why Rohit, basically test player is not chosen ahead of Virat , is it for fingering? Sachin , Dravid, Laxman shud call it a day, enough is enough, learn from Clarke the way he declared, remember Greg finally. What Steve says is absltly correct, we donot desrve a place in he final 5 teams overseas, we r worse tha even WI.

Not agree with you..It simply a bad form..As punter and clark were in past series...Nothing related to age ..Yes I do agree with kohlis selection over rohit..I guess Rohit is far better over kohli....

Gud players come up and take up the challenge irrespective of bowling. That is how u always admire like sof Richards, Lara, Hayden, Punting, Kallis, etc, list does not have anybody from India unless of course we play in SUB-CONTINENT
the only way out for us is to wear the masks of english players when we bat tomorrow..the kangaroos would defntly fear bowling to masked english lions..
u call them greats ,gods of cricket etc. may be ur greats r not that greats may be ur gods r not as powerful as they should be. find new names for them
