All these are one day wonders mate! You have to find a playing eleven at the end of the day. And how do you say drop Dhoni. Are you mad or what?

He won't have sounded mad had he said after English test series and he will not sound as mad after coming SA series this year. Dhoni is indeed misfit in test team.

ktaka players are selfish and club class. they were there in the team only due to politics
If you are out of form and low on confidence,its better not play at international level, in fact not even at national level. Just play Gully cricket and even then you cannot cope up then its time to say good bye to cricket and join our team of commentators and criticize others for the failure.
While comparing Rohit sharma with Sehwag, Sehwag played well. Selectors should consider bring back to the team. A wonderful player who can hit big shots and make the opponent give pressure. Last 3rd odi with pak, pujara made only single digit where as Sehwag made in double digit.

LOLZ :) Both Sehwag & Pujara did not play. Suresh saab must be high on something.
I agree with author's view on Rohit's case and to some extent in Gambhir's case, but not with Ashwin's. In the first ODI against Pak two wickets were denied by the Indian umpire S.Ravi (Younis Khan & Naseer Jamshed), which denied India a win. And in the last ODI he bowled with a plan (later worked with Jamshed and one catch of Hafeez dropped) to bowl on the leg-stump line and Dhoni missed two wides which went for fours; discounting this he would've given less than 40 runs..for probably more wickets (as Umar Gul was lucky to survive an LBW appeal, again denied by an Indian umpire). So just because he didn't bowl as well as he could against England in the test series, he deserves some more chances to be more consistent in test level.
Yes there are promising talents (e.g.Sandeep sharma...I saw his bowling in the U-19 world cup) who deserve chances...but it'll come I hope. But the current selectors are not brave enough, I would say, to take some tough calls...they only make changes in installments.
