Three test matches gone, Team India needs to bring in fresh legs into the pace battery. Since bhuvi's swollen ankle a worry and ishant out of contention for the fourth test, the team management must bring in Varun Aaron for this test. Pankaj singh bowled very well,considering the pitch conditions at Ageas Bowl. Rohit and shikhar should be replaced by ashwin and gambhir respectively.
Who else- batters or bowlers- are there in India suitable for these conditions (seamer friendly). Maybe Umesh Yadav was missing and maybe now Gambhir can be given a chance but the rest are best that India has. You do need experience and only young promising talents (in Indian conditions)will not make big differences
unless we select good technical batsmen,we cannot win test matches.we need test players,players like jadeja,rohit,koli,dhawan n dhoni are not meant for test match they lack the patience level n the class technique. BCCI shud have the guts to exclude dhoni from test matches.its high time now the results itself are showing you that india needs a different test team.
You cannot keep donkeys for the horses work. Though you train them with whatever resources,but they wont as they are not meant for that thing.

Technically perfect dravid won under dhoni. But dhoni cannot under Dravid. No need to think twice.
I agree that one cannot drop catches at this level. If the team cannot win with 5 bowlers how can u expect the team to take 20 wickets and win the game. This means India is playing just to draw the remaining matches instead of trying to win.
and you CAN NOT take 20 wickets if your team selection is wrong.None of your so called fast bowlers are anywhere near to be called a fast bowler. You should have played to your strengths with Pragyan and Ashwin as main strike bowlers.
