NOT PATIENT
by THOMAS SEBASTIAN on Jan 29, 2014 03:56 PM

with other bowlers as he was with Ishant. This is not fair. These bowlers have a right to fail as many times as Ishant was allowed (to fail). Year after year. Series after series.

WTF is the board doing. Find bowlers and put them undera proper proper coach. Bowling coach of this Indian team is some 'Dawes'. Has anyone heard of him?

high time to bring L Balaji back
by Sharanu on Jan 29, 2014 02:10 PM

L Balaji is currently the best fast bowler available in india.... it is strange that he is being ignored due to some cheap politics .. he is one who can swing ball both ways and is as acurate as Glenn Mcgrath and Dale Steyn... he along with R ashwin will form a deadly pair terrifing opposition all over the world

VERY TRUE

When MSD says : Bowlers must use their

brains , he's very correct .

They must bowl in correct areas & according to the situations ie Yorkers & slowers ones .

There is absoutely NO NEED to change the Team . Same Team has won many games for India . Just bowlers needs to bowl in right areas .

And whom will you select ?? Are any great bowlers sitting outside ?? We have to manage the show with same Team, barring minor changes . Any major change & the defeat will be with even bigger margins .

Our fast bowlers are the reasons for our losses. The following squad gives bowing depth (3 genuine seamers and 3 genuine spin options). There is also genuine batting depth till 9.

1. Dhawan
2. Rohit
3. kohli
4. Raina/ Sanju Samson
5. Dhoni
6. Jadeja
7. Ashwin
8. Rishi Dhawan (new pace allrounder)
9. Razool (new spin allrounder)
10. Bhuvi
11. Shami

captaincy

the captain also should use his brains by talking to his bowlers when they bowl badly. Does Dhoni ever communicate to his bowlers or team mates? Stuart Binny was just given one over. How does he hope to win by such captaincy? No point in finding excuses after losing.

Poor Team Selection
by Deepak Durai on Jan 29, 2014 12:29 PM

They must have included Zaheer Khan to strengthen the bowling department. And no one has any idea of about Munaf patel, Praveen Kumar. India would have played with Zaheer and either with Munaf Or praveen then any new bowlers like Bhuvanesh Kumar or Shami Or Umesh. If the really want give tough competetion in the upcoming world cup it would do. And also Gautam Ghambhir to be included he can open the innings and also play at no 3 that what he did in the last world cup.

Sack all bad bowlers immediately
by Vishal Shetty on Jan 29, 2014 12:00 PM

Sack all bad bowlers immediately. They dont deserve to play at international level. They are slow bowlers not fast bowlers and Ashwin is a good batsman but a bad spinner outside india.

Dhoni did bad captainship as well
by Vishal Shetty on Jan 29, 2014 11:57 AM

He has been partial towards some players. In a country with 1 billion population we have so much talent. But if Dhoni continue to give so many chances to bad performers then will the new talent get a chance to prove themselves? Dhoni has been a bad captain in the last few series including the west indies series where we lost just one match but considering the team west indies is we should have won all matches and nz is a no. 7/8 team in world too.

I think the fast bowlers gave away too many runs
by Unni Krishnan on Jan 29, 2014 11:50 AM

It was absolutely disappointing. Our bowlers have bored the viewers so much. Even the new bowers will perform better than this. Are they went to play the international cricket or they just went for honey moon. From their body language itself we can imagine that they went for picnic. Shameful
