Typical Excuses when losing a series 0-4 to ANYONE:
After 1st test loss: No need to panic. It is well known that we are slow straters. We will bounce back (warning to the opposition).
After 2nd test loss: You see, it is not easy. The pitch does not assist spinners. how long can we continue with part-timers?
After 3rd test loss: The schedule looks quite cramped up. I think it is important to give team players rest.
After 4th test loss: What could go wrong, went wrong. It was tough for both the bowlers and the batsmen. we also did not have luck, if your bowling starts looking weak, the pressure piles on batsmen. You cannot carry a team consistently on just one department. There is no point in sulking.
When asked about bowling failures: We have learnt a lot from our previous mistakes. Our batting is a concern (even if opposition has slammed 600 odd runs). I don’t think everything can be blamed on the IPL.

300 and 250 in perth with the likes of Gambhit, Shewag, laxman, Virat ? hahaha 580 by Aussies is a right prediction. India could be 240 and 180 and match should be over 3.5 days this time. Thanks to Dhoni for such a short dreadful cricket team show and team selection. I am sure now that Laxman & Ashwin are giving an oil massage to our captain cool to have their position.
its an aus ploy to prevent dhoni from picking 4 fast bowlers..as we have seen, even a lesser bouncy mcg and scg was favourable to fast bowlers..means, ind should go with 4 fast bowlers, with mithun joining the regular three..

Vinay kumar is a fast bowler? I thought he is was the fastest spinner India has. Don't even know why he is in the team?
