Let the barking dogs bark down under. We should not pay any attention. For us Indians past is past!! We have lost this series by a mile or more. Let us now think of rebuilding for the future.
Let the wise men sitting in the selectors' chairs decide wether to discard or retain our fab five or four or three. Let them decide when and how to bring in the bench strength.
But I would like BCCI to take one positive step. And that is to announce that the contracted players will be paid 150% of their match fees and contracted amounts in any given period if they win more than 75% of the TEST MATCHES, 100% if they produce 50% to 74% win results in TEST MATCHES, 50% if the TEST MATCH win result is between 30% and 49% and "NIL" if it is less than 30%. After all we all are living in a result oriented commercial world and our remunerations must be linked to results. After loosing two important series one after another this badly, our heroes just cannot still rake in their millions!!

The problem is most of them make enough money from IPL, so the contract amount doesn't pinch them. Their performance review should be such that there is more weightage for successes outside the country than within it. Also BCCI should identify some good test class batsmen, and stop them from playing in the IPL. Another option could be to allow young Indian players to play in Eng county and Aus BBL to let them get used to the conditions there.
Of late Cricket is downgraded to the level of WWF.All the test/ODI matches are predefined and the visiting teams make an abject surrender expecting the hosts will follow suit when they tour in return.By this reciprocal move no one is a loser. ICC is happy, Cricket Boards are happy,Umpires get an uninterrupted Job, and lastly, the fans are also happy.You- scratch- my- back- and - I- will- scratch- yours-policy
I love this phrase "useless rubble". What further depths is this rotten Indian team going to plunge to. This bunch of nincompoops is not fit to represent India. The ban on Dhoni has come as a blessing in disguise. His test career is over & he should be kicked out.
Australian Media has taunted their own team after their South African tour ( when they were out for a pathetic 41) and also when they lost to New Zealand before the present Indian tour. Now they got a chance to taunt at the Indian team for a change. Let them wait for a short while, they will have a chance to taunt their own team shortly

And Australia being beaten by NZ shows we are worse than NZ and THAT makes you happy?? Amazing!!!
Its true that Indias performance was pathetic and its standards have fallen.... but the Australian media should have waited till they tour India....if they falter in India....all these wins mean nothing
See what happened to England in India!! That being said....i will still say that India was abysmal (considering the success they enjoyed in previous encounters)

This present Oz team will thrash us wholesale in India also. India is going to be the new whipping boys in international cricket. That is a fait accompli.
