The Pakis also got whitewashd in their Australian debacle but they had the guts to kick out players like Youhana. Our great Indian circus still chooses its ageing lions (or donkeys) ...Menawhile good players like Rahane, Rohit, Pujara gather dust on the sidelines.
Mr Harsha Bhogle, We have been missing a lot - the glorifying comments about your city man Sachin... How he sits, stands, looks, snoozes and yawns and ...(Ill leave the other gestures for want of space).. all falling through the cracks crashing down after this series..
So you dont have much to say after the WC? Thats so unfortunate. Please find another dude (like Sachin) to milk for some more time.. that should take a while.
Till then you may have to look for another job. Most TV channels may not be willing to take your pick anytime soon with you darling failing all ends up.
Make the Idols of Sachin, Dravid and Laxman and put their statues on every nook and corner...on every street of this country....Give them awards for their past achievements...Give them Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan, Arjun Awards etc....
BUT PLS PLS PLS...Ask them to leave Cricket because younger and more talented players are suffering !!!...

Why only BARKING on batting Failiur !!! Look at our YOUNG Bolling attack... Experience ZAHIR ko hata do to Ye gadhe BanglaDesh ko bhi nahi Allout kar payenge....hahahaa.. We Support Young Cricketers BUT They should perform also.. We should not pick them only for there AGE..!! Need Quality also. Not take them in National Team and only nurished there talent..its a waste of time.. Pick the players who are READY to perform at any level and anywhere . We are 120 Crores peaples.. Huge talent.
In Test cricket,,, sachin sorry to say has been a miserable failure.. all his runs barring a few have no significance to the end result.
The poor chap is confused about his game and the fame and name... or his shrewd manipulation of down to earth simpleton personality has backfired finally because of the ruthless bowling by England and Aussies...
Fact remains, if going gets tough, Sachin cannot be seen anywhere in the vicinity..
Before start of series Mr. Dhoni said that he want rest as he plays lot of cricket but I can assured you that if he was given rest then Mr. Dhoni was available for Opening ceremony of Mall, Movies Promotion and completing his advertisement shutting dates! Are bhai ham to professional hai its our business and we don’t concern about the country.
A team can be bad overseas but this is the limit. even when Australia come to India,they lose narrowly and not within 4 days. this last test went to the fifth day only because the aussies clobbered the Indian bowlers for a day and a half. This Indian team needs to apologise to the whole nation and voluntarily resign. Winning a World Cup does not give them the licence to play this badly.They are lucky not to get a beating from the president like many football teams get when they play this poorly.This series shows total lack of commitment from the Indian players.No country has ever played so badly for so long.These players are overpaid and they should be fined for the humiliation caused to the nation.Also,the BCCI should refrain from sending any team to play tests to Australia for the next 20 years.They should practice hard and not give excuses about the pitch. And most importantly,watch the words before going overseas to play.Some people were saying that this was the best chance for the Indian team to win a test series in Australia. Yeah right!!!

The team will not resign. Drop the whole team, except Tendulkar. After all, you cannot drop Tendulkar who has to play to create so many more records. Better still, clone Tendulkar so that all the 11 players in the playing XI are Tendulkars. As all of them will be playing for personal records, the sum total will be so great, no team can beat us. That will solve all our problems.

Yes! I fully agree with you. Losing without fight is what disturbs me and all cricket fans. Ok! if you don't do well in the first innings? Improve in the second atleast or the 3rd or 4th.... Shewag wants us to support them at his hour. Fine! We will support only when you lose against Bangladesh. And a suggestion to BCCI. Please organsise 1 test series against Bangladesh and so that we can celebrate 100th century of our so called great...great.....ssssss
