India not playing Ashwin is a Himalayan blunder.

Moin Ali is an Averager very much like insipid Indian Bowlers

India has a very Average Batting Line up in test matches and therefore they are loosing .Dhawan , Pujara ,Binny as well as Dhoni have got no idea about the longer version of the game in alien conditions . This Team will loose 9 out of 10 times in such conditions .Kohli is simply out of form , Rohit Sharma doesn't deserve a position in this Team .We need to have better openers in this team .Vijay has shown his worth and needs a good partner.

Moin Ali is a faltu bowler , overrated and only a novice will rate him highly . Our Batsmen lack the mettle .

I agree with you. There was nothing exceptional in Moin Ali's bowling. Our batsamen played him very casually in first inning and with defensive mindset in second inning.

RUSH UMESH YADAV AND PLAY 2-SPINNERS

It is really ironical that while Eng is successfully using part time spinner to win on the other hand India’s front line spinner is cooling his heels in the benches! It is amazing even after Ishant was declared unfit instead of reinforcing already a weakened bowling attack in the absence of Ishant Dhoni choses to reinforce batting! Then why is he surprised in the p/conference that his bowlers reqd to take 20 wickets for a win could not take even 10 wickets ? Now with Ishant’s continued unavailability and Bhuvi’s reported swelling in the feet due to his taking excessive load of bowling in the 3rd test there seems to be real crisis developing in the Indian bowling camp. Given that other young pacers in the bench too lack experience and are untested the Indian camp must rush Umesh Yadav from Aus to reinforce the 3-pronged Indian pace attack to make it as effective as feasible in addition to 2-spinners completing the bowling squad for taking 20 wickets..

Truly speaking, India had entered Third Test match with only one genuine wicket taking bowler i.e. Bhuvneshwar Kumar. With Pankaj Singh making Test Debut, Shami bowling ordinary stuff in the series and Ravindra Jadeja as a part-time spinner, it was very clear from the beginning that India would strugle in the bowling departement. Still, India would have saved the match if the batsmen had applied a little more in the first inning. Remember, except Dhavan, most of the batsmen till no. 8 had crossed 25 runs mark and were looking quite well set.

With easy win in next test mstch as ishant sharma is not playin and virat kholi and dhawan arent among runs . Only hope for indians is to win the toss and make atleast 400 on 1st innings and play gambeer and shewag.

Funny Manjrekar !

It was funny listening to Manjrekar starting hs post match analysis yesterday. He started by saying Moeen Ali is not a world class spinner...ordinary bowler...and almost dismissive about him !!!

Had it been an Indian spinner, he would have been raving by now and all of ud would be saying that he is next big thing after Kumble. The fact is that he bowled excellently...its just the start of his career and he shows tremendous control with his line and length. He even has the straight one which induced edges from our top order batsmen !!!
