We have come to a stage where individual attainments,recognition,landmarks in the game,national,international distinction,none of these carry value to the so-called legendary performers.The answer looks to be obvious.It was England earlier and now Australia.If we have still to believe that we were inadequate or that the two other overseas adversaries were a better team, we would be deceiving ourselves.cIt's time the nation takes its own decision to dispassionately investigate the reasons for the so-called non performance! No,it was actually performance towards a misguided direction but apparently against the spirit of the game, against the intersets of the country and against the continuace of a rich heritage in the annals of indian cricket.The answer is perhaps -or so it seems- the five letter word in the english language-"money".How else do we justify the events,the performances and now the conspicuous,repeated non performance of stalwarts? c s krishnamurti
ICC SHOULD IMPLENT FOLLOWING RULES TO MAKE INDIA WIN:
1.All test matches to be played in india only 2.no bowled should bowl >135kmph 3.only 2 fast bowlers allowed 3.after making 30 runs..automatically the opponent team player is out
simple logic --- if u wanna spend 100 bucks u should have at least 1000 bucks in ur kitty. okkk... means, for countering raw pace, just practice batting on a 11 yard pitch with grass n water sprinkeled surrounded by 6 to 8 air conditioners with roofs n wall covered cricket lab ground. and for bowling raw pace, bowl on a 44 yard pitch, with marble tiles flooring in hot sun in a vaccume conditioned cricket lab ground.
It has always been like that in Indian cricket!India never won at austrlia in any test till date!even in SA India has never won Test series !Kapil won WC in 1983 when no one ever thought of giving india any chance!And even dhoni won T20 when no one ever gave any thought of giving India any chance!where is joginder sharma !Why he should noyt be given Bharat Ratna for bowling that last over in 2007 WC T20! It is time Cricket is not given any importance over other games ! Dhoni has become first Captain of India to lose seven tests abroad continously.... Any good 11 players selected can perform better or like these players! It is time to see reason and throw out these old players!Even in their younger days they never won any test series in australia or SA !so if India has to won in australia then it has to be new players .....Srikant be kicked out or given authority to select new players !they wil perform better than these players ....these r not test players but merely T20 players or players who r more inclined to play T20 ......to thionk beyond 20 overs is anthema to these players !

IDIOT. he selected Vinay kumar (kannadiga) ahead of so many other pacers. And what has he proved in this test. Stop this regional bias shit and look at the large picture.
1. see , in australian ,english pitches , due to cold conditions , the soils there tend to contract and elastic , so ball bounces , seams , swings, in indian conditions due to hot weather soil expands and ball keeps low , never swings much.
2.indian batsmen n bowlers , since they eat less varieties of protein rich raw meats n sea foods have lesser physical strength , so medium bowlers n malnourished batsmen.
3. in swinging seaming conditions , while batting , see the difference in approach by english n aussie batsmen , its clearly visible that even tendulkar is playing forward , on ball trust ie indian batsmen applying indian method of batting - playing the ball seeing from bowler's hand , while aussie batsmen play the ball after pitching.
4.They did fight in South Africa ( 1-1 ) , its all about mental toughness though , remember world cup win and aging factor did slowed and exhausted us down ...

If we ask Dhoni what was the problem ? His reply will be .
1. we have to take only the positive state in the match 2. we are improving as a batsmen. 3. first innings we score 160 ,, second innings it was 170 thats the point . 4.first innings rahul middle stump cleared . improment is second innings only leg stupms this innings 5. better opening parnerships that first innings ..so its a good match for us .
