How about Piyush Chawla and Amit Mishra replacing Harbhajan and R Ashwin to give new look to bowling. Zaheer Khan and Sachin may be rested to bring Ishant Sharma and Ajinkhya Rahane. Even Manoj Tiwary can replace Yuvaraj Singh

I believe Ashwin can still stay on in the team if Sachin is shown the door. Ashwin has contributed more than Sachin with the bat, and is as good (or bad depending on how you see it) in the field. That would mean Dhoni will have three spinners, and a better batsman in the team. Win-Win!

I agree. Those who are in form and not played against England spinners should play here as they will not have psychological fear in the mind. I don't think Sachin can bounce back in this series. The way he got out was pathetic in both innings.
Dhoni himself should be replaced by agressive Dinesh Kartick. Sachin should be replaced by S Badrinath, Vijay and mukund are the best openers n india rt now. they should replace non performing openers. lastly India badly needs a fast bowler like L Balaji who can bowl as consistently as Mcgrath.

That is why he is against changes.How can a non performing captain seek the head of any other player? He is a big burden in 5 day format & needs to be sacked altogether along with an old horse who can't even walk leave aside running

Vijay and Dinesh Karthik have been given ample oppurtunities. L Balaji to even think abt comeback has to get back to his original pace. Comparing Balaji to McGrath? Hilarious!!!!
loss of second test is total failure of batsmen.for that dont start pointing on tendulkar.i do believe its a bad patch for him but what about the big names like dhoni,yuvraj,shewag? and virat kholi who in terrific form before start of this series
Because in 2019 World Cup Cricket, father-son duo of Sachin & Arjun will be playing for India. The record of father-son duo of playing for the same team will remain intact forever.

Bring Saha as WK and drop Dhoni first (anyway Saha is the best keeper rigtht now) - He did remarkably well on the single match he played in Australia
If you want to drop any player from present Indian team two players should be dropped. 1)DHONI and 2) SACHIN How Dhoni can suggest any change in the team. Really it is impossible.
