The team is playing bad in this test because the groundsmen were having beer on the pitch a night before...lol...disgraceful in defeat too is even worse than losing.
Oh what a match. we have memories of Bedi declaring due to bouncers being bowled. At least Dhoni has not declred the innings in the face of fiery bowling which they filed to face. ignominious defeat after a long time and a very low in the history of Indian cricket. Too much money but quality very poor. Othe plyers round the world get money as per their quility liek in football or tennis or any other game. but we see mediocre plyers getting crores in Indian IPL. So why whould we have good test players.

PRADIP SINHA

The emergence of Umesh Yadav as a genuine quick fast bowler is the only positive from this series that India can take. Rest all Negatives . Hope we see the last of Sachin,Laxman,Sehwag,Dhoni,Dravid.Seen too much of these goose monkeys.Also Gambhir can be booted or sent back to Ranji.

Umesh Yadav indeed is a genuine quick bowler, but the question is for how many years? Indian pacers tend to reduce their pace over a period of time. Munaf Patel, Zaheer, Srinath are the best examples. They all started from 140 km/hr during their early days but gradually reduced to less than 130 km/hr.

I think the main culprit is BCCI. They are only interested to make money. With so much of money, what training facilities are they offering to the youngsters ? Why can't we have fast pitches prepared in India for our batsmen to practice ? The schedules are so hectic that players are becoming drained out.The National Cricket aademy has become a cropper. In fact all members of BCCI should resign for taking our cricket to such low depths. Let us have some people with vision manning the BCCI.

How about Sehwag, Dhoni and Virat and Ishant? Did we after Saurav retired, produce one batsman to replace him? Is the team, especially the batsmen performing? Our pacers too are yet to mature. They gave away too many runs on day 1. New blood is to be brought. even new openers need to be blooded. Our openers lack the technique at test level.Forget Sehwag's so called match winning ability, his consistency is more important.Dhoni!? he may need to be rested. He is down in all departments, rest will re energise him.His replacement is needed in tests.Dravid and Sachin should be allowed and rest should be time to time rested/dropped to give some new batsmen a chance to come up.
