Re: new team for test matches

Why Gambhir? He is also a major embarrassment to India and the team. Its time he learns his basics before trying re entry into test team.
Gambhir cannot play rising deliveries, often fishes outside the off-stump deliveries and promptly hands the catch for slip fielders?
Let Gambhir come back after lot of practice in Ranji and other lesser tournaments
Why no retirement for Sachin ? He is no immortal... Take the last 3 series of his avg in comparison with Dravid... and ask yourself why Dravid retirement... Its hypocratic at its best. This in spite of sachin coming in and going out on his whims and fancies...In fact some of the senior players like sehwag, gambhir, zaheer , sachin etc... has started doing this. If youngsters even shine when got a chance cannot retain their places due to this whims and fancy of seniors & logging in back. It has to stop.

That selfish sachin should nbe thrown out first sinvce he is palying for himself in this team
No point in making drastic changes for the last test with no consequences. Keep the same team and let the Seniors retire after the series. Not fair for Rohit Sharma and younger players to play in one match that is inconsequential. Rohit and Pragyan would have been an asset for 3rd match.
dhoni is not interest to play cricket. because he get lot of money. for last 3 years is not playing very well. remove blind Gambhir, V Sehwag, VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni
