(contd.)The batting collapse as seen on the 4th day is the other familiar story which keeps repeating. Once a while batting collapse is understandable but it is becoming regular feature now.Perhaps because of the cushion of an extra batsman the top order is not taking responsibility. Indian should learn to play 6 batsmen and 5 bowlers. That could take care of the problem of allowing the ‘drift’ due to bowlers tiring too. Then that Shikhar Dhawan confusion ! Did he try to ‘chicken out’ on the 4th day morning creating all round confusion? Standing upto Mitchel Jhonson’s pace courageously requires more than just twirling of moustache pl.Last but not the least were the umpiring glitches.How is it that Erasmus would lift his finger in a jiffy even before the bowler completes the appeal when Indians are batting while takes his time when the Aussies are batting! Something ougt to be done on the umpiring front for sure as we seem to have discovered a new Stev Bucknor..
So the familiar overseas script being written yet again by Dhoni &co. with score line reading 0-2 with two more Tests to follow ? Staring at 0-4 whitewash yet again although to be fair to the young side it is certainly putting up better fight compared to the seniors in the past.? However minus Michael Clarke both the sides are equally inexperienced and so India was expected to make a match of the series at least Brisbane onwards! In fact India yet again fritted away advantage at the beginning on the 3rd day.for Aus to amass over 500 runs as in the past the umpteen number of times….. in England.SA,NZ…and now yet again in Aus when our bowlers after getting the top opposition batsmen out cheaply only to get stuck with allowing lower order bowlers to more than double the score !Any explanation from Dhoni &co ? Logically it appears Indian pacers tire out after 40-50 overs losing pace, accuracy, control over line and length. Added to that is the ball losing hardness and becoming soft and the effect appears to be cumulative to make them ineffective. Further unlike under Indian conditions the spinners are unable clean up the tail. So on the whole everything adds upto allowing the ‘drift’ Dhoni &co. has become used to.The bowling coaches, spinners like Ashwin has to come up with some innovative ideas.to mop up the tail.
Dhoni is only fit for leading the indian side in limited overs and not in test series. Virat had lead the young team aggressively, and everyone will appreciate his positive approach. He should have continued for the series. Also we should not continue to run old horses. New blood should be given chance immediately if the older continue to falter. BCCI should now should be favourable for DRS system, as the time has changed.
we need to play two teams. One team plays exclusively in India. The team consists of Rohit sharma -Captain Opening batsmen-Rohit sharma and Rohit Sharma One down- Rohit Sharma Two down- Rohit Sharma three down also Rohit Sharma

You have nit studied the Indian selectors -influenced by Gavaskar , Shastri -outside support , Dhoni as a captain I should have say , Srinivasan I and president of BCCI I should have my players -s o on so on -selectors are supposed to accommodate them as they all are paid servant
congrats to aussies. seems like a beggar in australia also knows the weakness of each player in indian team .so they do not want to appoint any "specialist consultant" and "experienced captain".
Number one.... India should have opted for DRS. A couple of decision in both the innings(while we were batting) went against us. Then...Dhoni's role as a captain was not up to the mark.
why they are not allowing india to win? they are making pitch to give difficulty to batsman. they should make flat pitch so india can make high score like rohit sharma
