Just what the commentators were saying earlier today. That the fact most wickets fell caught behind shows what is he getting his bowlers to bowl instead of getting them to drive. I was thinking isme kuch hold hain. Is he trying to get most caught behind?
Australia tour was no secret to the Indian team and et al. Instead of having n number of one days to push up indian one day rankings (by virtue of being kings at home) BCCI should have made arrangements to have more matches in australia. When the batsmen do well, bowlers dont and vice versa. Its a perenial problem when India goes abroad. Lions at home and lambs abroad. Even though very very remote, if they manage to draw the series, some pride can be restored. Dhoni's captiancy is in question and he needs to be replaced with some one who can think smartly on the fly. Decision review system is vehmently opposed little realsiing it has hurt Indians more than Aussies...whats the point of being so high handed? BCCI bigwigs should come down to ground and think normally. Looks like Duncan Fletcher must be having the last laugh now...Even Mr Ravi Shastri has failed it looks like.

Practice more to fix more matches with other boards apart from Bangladesh, Lanka and pakistan?
He keeps losing matches overseas and BCCI keeps having him and his chamchas in the team. Though ample talent is available, the Srini led BCCI wants only non-performers in the team

Yes this non-performing team leading by Dhoni won World Cups in all format. Topped in One dayer, T20 and also in Tests too.

Mr Gupta: I hv commented about the past records whereas you presume/assume/predict or for an indefinite. Yet Dhoni is the successful captain in India above, Azar, Ganguly, Kapil Gavaskar, Dravid, Sachin, and prior to them. Finding difficult to face pressure legends Gavaskar, Sachin and Dravid quit captaincy. Can you deny? and who is better?
Match and series is almost lost. It would be commendable job if they can save follow on and then innings defeat.1st 5 batsmen made 216 and last 5 made 315. So pathetic is the indian bowling. bass sirf Gharme hi sher hai ye team...

Same thing happened to Australia when they came to UAE to play Pakistan. Sri Lanka plays so well at home. What's happening to them in New Zealand? At least this India team is doing better than 2011 when they had all the great batsmen.
