It is possible that the fast bowlers are not injured and want to play for the IPL. With all the fast bowlers playing in the IPL because of the cash involved.
If the IPL money causes the BCCI to drop fast bowling option then Umesh Yadav, Zaheer .. all are playing for the cash rich IPL and not the Dhoni Spinning team.
India's needs about 100 billion dollars for Olympic hosts for 2020 or 2024 and 50 billion per year on tourism in the future.
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports have to intervene so that the BCCI the IPL are in sync
1. Dhoni cannot win overseas, likes spin bowling 2. Fast bowling and Openers are discouraged and fitness issues 3. Our Olympic programs have no money and have fitness issues 4. Since no Olympic medals and no overseas cricket wins 5. Creates problem with TOURISM and IPL money wasted 6. No 50 million tourist market because of no sports culture
wat a performance that we forgot their mediocre performance for last 20 matches. Now they wikll cherish this moment for next 20 matches without performing. This is pitty for india. The maximum chance given is for 5 test, if they dont perform throw them out.

since you have not responded , then you faking the id of Injun Abhi. You must be wcpak-dubai6er borninpak.
Don't devalue Sachin's contribution in this game. His 81 set up India's first innings beautifully. Even Pujara's small cameo of 44 and his partnership along with Sachin helped India recover from a horrid 14/2 in the first innings. That innings laid the foundation for the victory that came eventually after Dhoni's magnificient knock. If Dhoni can bat like this, he should play tests for long.

But don,t you think , Henrique's 81 was better , when the track had worsened & spinners were on top. Sachin batted on a flat track & survived the first day. Next day he was bowled when the pitch started to turn.
..but for me i would rate sachin's knock higher than kohlhi's since...
it was under pressure, much more ocmpared to sachins 2 down for 14...and in a spot...those flurry of boundaries by sachin at the start changed the momentum...

If Kohli and Pujara are the future of Indian batting, then there is cause for worry! Kohli barely has 3 centuries in nearly 20 tests and that too interspersed with so many low scores. His record is much more decent in ODIs. And Pujara had a couple of great matches at Ahm, Mum. Other than that he has been mediocre. Pity that Viru, Sehwag, Raina and Yuvi who are the right stage in their career haven't stepped up their game to take over the batting. And that probably puts too much onus on Kohli and Pujara, quite prematurely.

try to get ur biased brain clear of garbage and know real facts... kohli has just played 15 tests and already 4 100's which is way many more than those so called saviour of indian cricket laxman who had none in his first 16 tests and dravid who had just one in 15 tests... kohli is way ahead and above them based upon first 15 tests regardless of how idli-dosaz southies feel...
