out of those last 10 losses in last 11 tests sachin dravid laxman sehwag gambhir bhajji zaheer were part of it in 8 matches....so if the team selection was so wrong did you make any noise about getting the above players dropped from the team....the new players will take some time before settling down...already they have ran SA close in 1 test and showed tremendous fighting qualities and came close to winning the test after being behind by 300 runs in the first innings...dont you think you are being a little unfair and going overboard here?

out of the first 8 tests the 2 whitewashes we had players likes sachin dravid laxman zaheer bhajji sehwag gambhir all with good experience of playing abroad and averaging around or more than 50 runs...yet we lost totally one sided games...
on the other in the last 2 defeats in SA and NZ most of the players were playing tests abroad for the first time or second time...and yet they came close to winning a test in SA no. 1 side and in NZ despite falling behind 300 runs in first innings...
see the difference in 8 tests with experienced players and in 2 tests with new players who have not played many tests on foreign soil...
