whenever there is cold war between seniors and youngsters, gambhir and kohli benefit fully from it like how bhajji and yuvi benefited at expense of improper indian team selection. Does not matter if senior's figure head is Sehwag and dhoni is from different side. the ghoras and traitors in team have exposed this weakness to outsiders who exploit it fully. Proper selection of competition is not allowed thus indians cannot see the competition doing better than existing players. We cannot axe Senior right away to allow uncontrolled monopoly of different side that leads indian side to darker pit. Seniors SHOULD retire when all youngsters are given chance to prove they are better and not just the monopoly of one side in dressing room. Bhajji, yuvi,etc are waiting on side while gambhir and kohli from inside are ready to take advantage of exploits from either side of fence.
No doubt virat did better on flat pitch in 4th test where seniors failed though sehwag was not far away with 62 in second innings ...
Looks quite like bjp-congress cartel with bjp as fake opposition exploiting both sides of the fence.

Why do we Indians ALWAYS have to see politics everywhere and make conspiracy theories based on state, region, age and God knows what else? We tried, we lost, we were beaten by a team that played better and we should accept it and work on improving our game instead of acting like former Pakistani teams. End of story.

Well said. Appreciate it. The crux of the matter is there hasn't been a proper succession planning. Who is going to replace a Sachin Tendulkar Ora Rahul Dravid? These two guys have 28000 runs between them which haven't come by sheer fluke or fun. Zaheer Khan still continue to be India's only strike blower. Youngsters have to come up to these standards to get counted. It has not happened. Is it because these guys are hanging out there for too long? Answer is a clear no. Will you be able to win matches leaving these guys out? Answer is no. So what's the solution.? Don't see one in near future. With the IPLs onedayers and T 20s being given a priority call off playing test matches and try to groom up youngsters consciously for a couple of years. Accept it's a crisis and work out a plan before venturing into playing test matches on foreign soil. Preparedness is the key. After all you can't always bank upon a Sachin or a Rahul or a VVS to win you a test match nor an Anil Kumble Zaheer khan or a Harbhajan Singh to do it either.
india too have good pace bowlers,but they are not effective abroad,so the spinners of aus,eng,will not be as effective,for sure india will win in indian conditions against them,it may not be such big margin.this indian loses are very very special.

performance of aus n eng spinner in asia is far better than of india's fast bowler in out of asia pitches...
There should not be any captain to the team.. because whenever a person becomes indian captain then he is losing his form and not performing once in a while.. May be put a bowler as a captain..

u sud ask to have 12 player for india team. we already have a non-playing captain
sachin is so smart he declares that he will plays odi as he was sure he cannot score a 100 in the test series. and the next test is in july so why waste 6 months waiting!!!!!

sachin was a miserable failure in league matches of that vb series almost making sure that we get knocked out of the finals...he made 190 odd runs in 8 innings with an average of 23-24 runs. thanks to dhoni, gambhir, yuvraj rohit sharma and our fantastic bowlers we reached the finals...dhoni made 347 runs in that series with 4 50s coming low down the order not getting out below 30 runs even once...
but just because sachin made century in one of the finals where again our bowlers had restricted aussies to 240 runs and got us to a winning position sachin fanatics want to make it appear as if he was the reason we won the tri-series...
