Sachin once again proved wrong his critics by SUCCESSFULLY facing fast bowlers and giving his Wicket to a spinner.He shows he is a quality Batsman against Swing ...For people saying he scored only 13 runs,my question to them-What were other 10 Players doing in the team.Thats why Sachin is called as Little Master,genius,Master Blaster and God of Cricket.
This is the time to build a new test team from scratch.Ban IPL first to motivate youngstes to concentate on tests.Otherwise we would be in the west indies way.It is unfotunate that seniors would like to continue in the team till the last breath!.Learn from Gavaskar please.I am amazed that talented youngster like Rohit sharma was not given a chance inspite of super flop of many seniors even on a benign pitch.If the selectors can not include youngsters now then when? People certainly do not mind loosing that much in transition.
East or West, India is best. But England or Australia, Indian team is worst. Dhoni or Sehwag, Indian team is worst. If you play in India, Indian team is best again!! So now play 2-3 series in India and all will start that India has got best team.
in this politics of selection Kohli, gambhir, Ahswin and oldies sSuck out most practice at expense of YOUNGSTERS and bring back insulting failure in most of the test. with all this practice, most of the oldies will not play one dayers. So players like rohit/raina/etc will be shoved in without practice into 1 dayer while the selected politicians would have had practice.
kohli, dhoni, gambhir etc from cartel have an advantage.
even for last test with pitch conditions close to india to allow ozzie some practice of indian bowling and batting in Asian alike pitch, these crooks did not give up politics to allow youngsters.
yesterday people said pace and swing was an issue for indian nerves. now lyon with spin takes most wickets over and above the pace.
they cannot even play spin?? the indian bread and butter.
Shame on our crickters. See how idiotically Sewag,being the captain played. Insted of stedying the ship & playing out the time he did bafoon work. Is this the way to play test matcch innings? Set of idiots in the indian team.

t appears Indian players had brain freeze: 1.Sehwag shot was ridiculous , he was playing like that anyway 2.A nightwatchman to protect a Wicketkeeper? 3.Kohli running to get the strike from the nightwatchman and run out?

ishant thought he was a better batsman than Kohli, which meant that Kohli has to sacrifice his wicket.

Saha is a specialist batsman, who is also a wicketkeeper. Think this way. Remember his gritty 35 in 1st innings.
