Very good decision by umpire. Indians bowling are surprisingly cannot bowl 90 overs a day & this pro blem came many times for Indian Bowler. Even spiner of India take 5 minutes to b owl over.The fast bowler of othewr team maintain the stipulated time but Indians not take it seriously. All the bowlers should also be given punishment fore slow over rate.

Why Sehwag? A player who does well himself only will command respect from the team. I doubt if Sehwag did anything noteworthy thus far.... Give Zaheer a chance.
these senior players were sent to aus ahead of schedule so that they would get acclimatised as that was thought to be very important....it does not seem that it has helped indian team sending them early....so THIS is the LEGACY these GREATS are going to leave for the new generation players? 7 conseuctive failures abroad? Is this what the new generation players supposed to look up to?
ppl will again comment saying that he brought us world cup. world is odi tournament not test match. This is basic test matches are very different from odi. in test match you need to take wicket and spend time on crease seeing thru morning session which is normally conducive for bowling. you cannot win by saving run.

how he got ODI WC ?where it played?do u belive he could have done in Austalian pitch?, watch and wait ODI.WC semifinal line up it self says about pitch standaraed.Pak,Sreelanka, Newziland..same newziland team beaton by our youth team 5-0, before WC,any captian can win WC in India..not a Dhoni's Skill..
is neither good for test nor for ODi/T20. he is a mediocre player.
In ODI he manipulate his batting order according to situation......... when it is easy going he comes ahead of UV and raina....but when the situation is tough.... he hides behind those same batsmen
