Don't understand what Mr Shastri want to say here because i heard him and Mr Manjherekar saying same thing after we lost in England that at that time give this team time of 6 months and we will start winning matches outside India also.
I saw his speech - to summarise he says scoreline does not matter, he is keen on attitude only and give 12 months time, this team would become best, don't see that happening, he is only making roadmap for himself for the next 12 months.
Indian test cricket went into ICU when Sachin, Dravid & Laxman retired from test cricket. You need technically sound players to play test cricket, not who can score in T20 & 50 over matches.
India if at all wants to win at Sydney must Drop Dhawan and give Rahul as a last chance. Rahul might be a good player but is very weak mentally against challenge. Raina should come in. Saha will replace Dhoni for sure but Saha must bat properly to secure a place. In bowling go for Aaron, Umesh, Ashwin and Ishant. If Bhuvi is fit then take Bhuvi in place of Ishant as a wicket taking bowler. Pujara now has lots of batting trouble so this could be his last match too.
