In last 8-9 years Indian team has been depending on Sehwag. Whenever he clicks, rest of the team does well. Even in first inning of 1st test he scored 67 and India were 214 for 2 at one stage and were in dominating position. But his recent failures have put the team under pressure. So remove him from the team for some time and bring him back in place of Laxman at no.5 or 6. Because he is just 33 and can play well for 2-3 years more specially in sub continent.
Dravid is highest rungetter in 2010. Sachin was the only batsman to perform. VVS Laxman should be out, yes. But why Sachin and Dravid? There are so many news channels, sites in India and they need so many reporters, that good quality reporters are not enough. Inexperienced and naive people are appointed as reporters who print anything since they have to fill up their columns. The above report format is too poor. The above report is a nonsense. There should be some bounds on reports as well which produce wrong impression ahead of common public.
They don't have fear and ready to go.Sehwag is a bad choice for test matches.Let Dravid,Laxman,Sachin,Ishant,Dhoni,Sehwag,Gambhir should go and youngsters to be in the team for the future test matches.
The performance if BCCI has not been up to expectation -Cricket as sport .Its performance as a greedy business and profiteering and killing the game has been out standing.Tranparency has been poor and the sychophancy is great.
Somebody tell the Mr. Shukla that Sri Lanka also won a test in South Africa this very series and 47 all out was an exception. But losing 7 Tests in a row. Let Mr.Shukla not talk politics in cricket.
This is Board for Cricket Corruption in India (BCCI). These paople always give excuse for India's losses on foreign soil giving cites of other teams. Srilanka has also won a test match in South Africa, did he forget? Even Australia won a test in South Africa? Even New Zealand won the test at Australia! Then why can't we? This BCCI officials should be kicked out., they are good for nothing. Right time for Laxman to retire, include Rohit Sharma in the team. If Dravid & Tendulkar don't perform well in the next series, they should also call it a day. Rahane is waiting. Dhoni is good for nothing in test cricket. Sack him from the test team itself. Let him be captain only for One dayers & T20.

blaming srikanth alone is not good.He has lots of pressure to select the oldies and non performed players like Ishant and Gambhir.did u expect a miracle,if the senior players are not playing well.
Cricket is game, no matter age ,performance matters.If Sachin still scoring most runs , (this series too), and if even todat after 20yr, team depend upon him..how can sachin to be blamed.And for win match, you need team effort,specially from bolwer need to take 20 wickets.who will take wkts even if we pile 500 runs.Just rubbish going on in indian substandard media

just poning senior player (escapegoat) how can we not pay attention to sehwag,gambhir,dhoni,ishant,ashwin,bhajji for their non-performance in test from couple of yeras.Dravid is most run getter in 2011...Sachin topscore in WC-2011 ..What a pity for indian low grade media. ..media shuld talk with respect.If u have to harsh then pick our politicians who loots thousnad crores.
