The bitter fact is that , india has never won any test series / at least drawn test series against quality teams like aussies, england.before england's arrival and after test win at ahemdabad the team started roaring , like we will give whitewash to england team , yet the team struggled against panesar, anderson,swann and lost the series.Bhajji better perform or get retired.any ways loss of series wont matter for players / BCCI as they are eyeing on IPL .
nothing wrong on the part of bhajji to start the verbal war this way. aus is not that strong when compared to mcgrath and warne days. at that time, they used to yell at us because they were always superior. now, they themselves are rounding their tail as they know on paper, we are better than them. bhajji comes from dada's school of thought. so its not surprise that he started this verbal war. because it was dada who showed the world how to tame the aus when every other team used to struggle..

i do not know what excitement ur talking of, in a game that is losing its fans each passing day...
do u think test cricket in india will survive for another 10 years with the pathetic team that we have ???
Also not to mention of the retirement of sachin; owing to whom many indians still watch this colonial game... once he hangs his boots, his fans too will bid goodbye to this game once and for all...

then u should blame the BCCI for promoting T20 at the cost of test matches. same is the case with ACB as they are focussing on T20 than the tests. thats why, both ind and aus are struggling..hence it should be an exciting series..

VD: plz do not compare bcci with professional boards like ACB, UCBSA, or ECB..
many aussie and english players did not bother to play in IPL, bcoz they wanted enuf rest to be ready in time for their next test series. same can't be said about indian players...
also fans in SA, Eng or Aus would throng in big queues to buy tickets to watch test cricket..
In India, the grounds r occupied by dogs, securitymen and groundstaff.

sada, the aus didnt play in IPL but they had their own big bash league where they lured many top cricketers and hence the performance decline
All this "aggression", Pre-match press conferences, calling names, etc., are all tricks to add spice to the match series. And the poor cricket fans think all this is true. Poor things...

Bhajji weaned off after 400 test wickets while Ashwin is already showing signs after 50-100 wickets....

whatever bhajji is saying may be rubish but we need someone like him to give it back to australians. Just his presence will demoralise them which is good enough for remaining 10 players to win the match for us. Lets give it back to them. Why do we need to take the pressure whether it is australia or India... Give it back....
