I have played a lot of gully cricket and based on it, I too can give team India a tip or two... This is Indian Cricket. A big mess and every empty vessel will make a noise here. I bet, no one in his wildest imagination even would have dreamed of India winning against Ausies 4-0 or even by a lesser margin. Why everyone is here naming a scapegoat for the losses thus far? more than Ashwin, Ishant needs to be replaced. not with a spinner though; but, a better pacer. If performance is the criteria, every member in the team needs to be replaced, including the captain.

Dummy, commentator has to give comments on how the bowling is or batting shot was !!!! not criticising foolishly!!!!!
Yes, Ashwin did look very ordinary but he is young and should be given more chance . Further,Dhoni's defensive field settings and use of bowling resources were not very satisfactory to exploit the maximum potential of a bowler.It was peculiar to see a deep mid-wkt, deep sq leg ,deep point and a mid-on for the off-spinner. When a right handed plays he normally 'turns' rather than pull or hit hard towards mid wkt or sq leg.So, the fielders should have been half way inside rather than standing at the ropes. On the other hand when an off spiner bowls short inviting the batsman to come out and hit straight, there is probability of miscuing the shot and giving a catch at long on.But there was no long on but only mid-on.In fact two three catches went a begging in short mid-wkt,long-on,3rd man position. It is simply inexplicable why otherwise one of the best brains in the game was adopting such defensive tactics. Moreover when the Aussies were under pressure with just 2-3 wickets left early morning, he didn't use the Zaheer-Ashwin combination to mop up the tail. Ashwin was brought in very late after erratic bowling of Umesh and Ishant made things easy for the aussies. May be for Perth Dhoni should use five bowlers with Ashwin-Ojha in tandem.
Spinner are useless in Australian pitches, He should not have commented on a spinners , what did fast bowlers doing. What does our batsmen doing. Its just useless statement.

He s not at all bowling in good line, so that they atleast cn't get runs... poor kid... and he wants people prepare pitch as he wish by telling ' pitch has nothing to offer' in press conference.. is it a matured talk
Re: What Ganguly says is right.

1 more idiot here . then replace all bowlers. Fool, frst somebody has to score runs for the team. who s tthere scorng runs except for ashwn?
Forget Ashwin as a bowler. He has been consistently batting well, better than seasoned batsmen in the team. Why should we drop him? Ridiculous your statement is.

I think ganguly couldnt stand that a young bowler is making more runs than what he scored in australia :)

If you are selected as a bowler, then do the job of bowler... see the kumble's record in aus last tour and previous tour,, don make immature statements like ashwin by telling nothing in the pitch
