India Poor show outside India India Lost to England in England Tests One day T 20 0-4 0-3 0-1 India Lost to Australia in Australia Tests One day T 20 0 – 4 Not reached final Tri series Asia Cup – Big Question ??? • Dhoni’s rotation policy • Not much understanding with Seniors • Preference to his own whims in selection • Dhoni’s captaincy on decline and his team work lacking and • Dhoni Need to be removed from captaincy due to poor performance
CB Series Aus at home vs India 3-1 head-to-head. Aus at home vs Srilanka 3-4 head-to-head. So Aus called sub-continent teams and won 6 ODIs and lost 5. What an invincible home record. If England and South Africa had been the two teams then Aus would not have been in the finals.
Playing with sub par teams and creating records??? What redemption are you talking about?? May be BCCI should schedule matches with Zimbambe, UAE, Kenya, Netherlands, Ireland,for the next 12 months and let all our cricketers create mind boggling records...... is that where we are headed?
IF MR SACHIN TENDULKAR IS UNABLE TO SCORE HIS 100TH CENTURY ON FLAT WICKETS DURING ASIA CUP THEN HE HAS TO RETIRE FROM ODI CRICKET ON IMMEDIATE EFFECT. THIS IS HIS BEST AND LAST FINAL CHANCE TO SCORE. AFTERWHICH, I DOUBT HIS CAPABILITIES TO SCORE A TON ON EVEN INDIAN PITCHES BEC HIS FORM IS DETORIATING WITH THIS MONKEY ON HIS BACK.

actually he just has 1 century in the asia cup history. also with current form its unlikely he will hit a century in this tournament (given just 3 chances in the preliminaries)

for your info im a state player from tamil nadu, what you say is in test matches not in ODI..ODI is totally different a batsmen frndly game.its hard to see good bowling condition becoz of the demand of the game is directly propositional to the viewer entertainment..if you see all great hitters like gili, hayden, jayasurya, afridi,shewag, have survived international cricket and have created becoz of the easy opening conditions in ODI..
