Our Batsmen, expert in playing Spinners, Our Spinners expert in Indian Pitches, both have not played to their expertise. On the other hand, English players played as a Team and also had enough practice in Indian Pitches by 3 practice rounds, prepared themselves mentally. Their fielding was far Superior to Our players.
Re: Team selection on Tuesday; Dhoni against changes

You are right. A good fielder would have picked the catch Sachin dropped for KP when he was in teens. That made a big difference.
Everybody is saying about Sachin Tendulkar form but nobody is talking about the form of Dhoni who does not deserve in the team if it comes to on merit. Watch is batting average I think it is even lower than Ashwin. He is telling that hs is disappointed from his bowler. can He said one or two word about himself.

dhoni is clearly against changes cause he knows very well if he tries to drop players, the players will in turn question his own form and performance. an underperforming skipper will never have to guts to drop underperforming player. sehwag had done that before. next it will be a host of players like gauti, schin, bhajji, ashwin and zaks. if the selectors decide to drop anybody it has to be dhoni himself.
1. G. Gambhir 2. V. Sehwag 3. M. Vijay 4. C. Pujara 5. V.Kohli 6. A. Rahane 7. Dhoni or Dinesh karthik (if possible) 8. Ashwin 9. Zaheer 10.Ojha 11. Umesh or Ishant or Parveen or Murali karthik (if possible)
After this series bring D.Karthik for Dhoni and Let Gambhir be captain for Test matches.. Bring in Irfan pathan as allrounder.

Indian team has been a big zero aboard, but I think in the recent past no indian team has failed like this in indian pitches.So definetley it is total failure from the whole team, batsmen and bowlers especially spin department.
Now it is time to change the captain dhoni. only because of his star value he is in the est team itself. Any one agree on this.

I full agree. On merit he could never been Test?t-20 team . he has never performed in 7 years in these two foramts. But based on few fluke ODI performance & star value he is continuing in other two formats for last 7 years. sachin atleast has past records but dhoni doesn't ahve that also.

Dhoni has had more luck than any Indian Cricketer for a player of his abilities.It is time he is removed right away.
Is he a wicket keeper or goalkeeper or a stopper behind the wickets? Dinesh Karthik may be a better choice even now both for his wk and his batting.also team selection can improve in his absence.
