not understand dhoni's using parttime bowler by giving rest to regular bowlers. even opening batsmens are failing consistencely. to maintain tempo he has choose correct combination for winning the series from here on onwards.
Gautam gambir is the only captain who has attacking tactics and that paid him in this years IPL. Dhoni is a very defensive captain.He should have picked ashwin in this match when he knows ishant is not there in this team.Instead he went with 8 batsmen and a club-level toothless bowling attack.Spin is indias strength and he hasnt introduced any of the spinners so far. They started cautiously yesterday and were just looking to escape.you need to attack the bowlers to win or save the match.When will he learn the basics of test match.
We should keep dhawan and rohit exclusive for ipl or subcontinent pitch... simply they are less talented and kept the focus on indian pitches and no use in giving so so many chances. Better late than never
India went into the match with a long batting line up and just 3 bowlers, one of whom is new.One can't win a match with such a bowling lineup. When you are one up in the series , you need to select your best team and blast the opposition. this is what successful test teams like Australia and SA do. In the end, the 8 front line batsmen, could not come to terms with the second string English bowling attack
this guy pankaj singh is not too good.perfect physique but no variety. where is rpsingh, praveenkumar,nehra? all gone? shami is just average neeedto bring in ojha for spin an empty bowling basket...arent there any bowlers??

Ishant was injured that time so they have to pick some one else and Ashwin was a good option who can contribute both by ball and bat and spinner are doing well in this pitch.
to cover up the last two batsmen like how VVS Laxman used to do. If India had batted for one hour in the morning, the match would have been safe for a draw.
