VVS - Needs to go right now.(I doubted he will retire on his own. He kept crying to media for 2 yrs when he was dropped from ODI team..)
Sachin - Needs to make a call by himself on his plan now..
Dravid - This man is full of pride and self respect. I will not be surprised if he calls day very soon. Just like Sachin, he needs to stay with team for few months and then leave..
Sehwag - Not an Test opener material anymore. Needs to be dropped right now..
Gambhir - unable to learn from repeative mistakes. Need to be dropped..

Men to go : Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Sachin, Laxman, Dhoni, Ishant....
Suitable replacements from : Rahane, Mukund, Rohit, Pujara, Bist, Badri, Saha (Dinesh Karthik to back up), Ashok Dinda (Ritu Raj too early to be expose and needs to be nurtured)
If only The giants, The idols, The masters and LITTLE masters, The Gods have fallen to some lethal pace bowling, it can be digested. Falling to Lyons that too not due to any demons in the pitch or some great spin bowling; but, due to lack of application and reckless, irresponsible, gully cricketer like technique is inexplicable. As one commentator has put it, Lyon bowls with the back up of 500, 600 runs in the kitty and poor Ashwin doesn't have that luxury and that's the difference between their bowling. This is the worst ever series in recent memory team India has ever played. We all cricket fans only expect the board and the selectors have the guts to revamp the team completely and let better cricketing sense prevail and not regional / religion based quotas. Naming three separate teams for Tests, ODIs and T20s will give well deserved chance for players who have been frustratingly waiting in the bench for quite long. Let selection not be based on investments made on a player by the industry and be purely on merit. The collective failure is a blessing in disguise and the interest of the team should come first than any loyalty towards heftily paid cricketers who on their part should accept the blame and retire gracefully rather than wanting to prove in a domestic series. And for heaven's sake, dump Ishant please. If he can not bowl in Australia, he can not bowl anywhere else as well.
