Dhoni and Fletcher doesnt seems to be bothered evem after the drubbing in 2 tests. Dhoni has to be replaced as a TEST captain and a player. Farewell series for Dravid and Lakshman. Bring in Pujara Rohit Sharma and Abhinav Mukund. Sehwag has to be told that he cannot throw his wicket this is test match not one day. Aswin is taken as a bowler and not a batsman he has to perform and take wickets not give flimsy reasons as pitch is not condusive of spin. Bhajji is a better test bowler.

Correctly said by u . But not about Bhaj . He is worst spinner in India cricket and he had bad performance against aus in aus.
first the title read, shameless team inda... now the title has been changed to 'struggling'... wonder why such a change. the first title suited team india better.
I bet if Ishant and Laxman could be removed wil be good for India. Ishant have not done any magic on pace tracks. Vinay Kumar will be a good replacement for him. He has abilty to swing the ball atelat. Flop show by Ishnat. Laxman must be replaced by Rohit Sharma who have good defence.

Good defence in which game? Cricket? Football? Or legal proceedings? If Sehwag is king, Rohit Sharma is Prince. You should see the shots he plays. What regal touch!!! The ball disappears. Where is it? Oh, in the hands of slip fielders.
There is a great anger in the country due to abysmal show by Team India.They have broken the hearts of every fan.But it is very unfortunate that rediff has called Indian Team shameless Indians.Few months back when they conquered the world,they were our heroes and now they are villains.Please show some respect.What has broken the hearts of every Indian is the continuous abject surrender and that too by a team that has a good record overseas since Dada became captain.Match after match Dhoni is giving strange and funny excuses.Why can't he accept his mistakes and gives a positive message.In a country of 1.25 billion,it is a great privilege to play for India.You should have passion,killer instinct and will to fight against all odds.This take it easy attitude will destroy our test cricket.Dhoni doesn't seem interested in Test cricket any more.These last two tests are final opportunity for him.If he fails again he has to be replaced as a Test captain and should also be dropped from the Team.These last two tests are also final chance for Rahul and Laxman.If they don't perform we should give them a good farewell as they have served India very long.Beating Aussies at Perth is a herculien task.But if we do it,It can revive Team India.We beat them in 2008,so it is not beyond our reach.Message to Mahendra Singh Dhoni is-Perform or perish.

What a team does outside the playing hours is none of our business. The end of Adelaide test is about three weeks away. After we got the medal for another 4-0 drubbing, we can reserve the potshots. Leave them alone. They are humans.

The indian team and management definitely know better than the author of this article on how to prepare. Eventhough I agree that the Indian team performed badly and did not put up atleast a fight but this is no way to dis-respect payers just because they have lost. It is a game and someone has to lose and hopefully the team does well in the coming matches. Cricket is a confidence game. There is no single method for success. By giving such a poor tile the author has only exposed his knowledge and reputation. This also adds weightage to the argument that the jornalists now-a-days do not do enough research/homework. Instead of writing facts they pass judgments based on thier half-baked knowledge.
What was Gavaskar doing before the team left for Australia. He should have suggested all these to BCCI ahead and not now after the falilures.Or is it due to his differences with BCCI that he did not do so earlier.All these experts find fault with the team only when it fails like India has done now.
I think he doesnt know much about sports, when we are not playing good it is always better to have recreation for some time, it will refresh mind, what dhoni did is absolutely right. author before writing or using such ruthless words should think twice, it is high time that rediff higher ups takes disciplinary action against the author
