1) Can Kohali/ Sahstri / Sandip Patil / Anurag Thakur explain why Harbhajan did not get the more than 1 wicket in entire match when track was conducive for spin & Ashwin got 10 wickets Mishra got 6 wickets? 2)Can Kohali/ Sahstri / Sandip Patil / Anurag Thakur explain what this Rohit Sharma is doing in the team inspite of repetitive failures? 3)There were only 2 bowlers balling, the remaining bowlers were just doing formality. Ishant Sharma and Aaron were bowling like they are playing in IPL, they were too expensive. 4)Why Kohali did not attack with Ashwin and Mishra at both ends when Chandimal and Thirimanne were new to the crease, why he did not go for the kill and tried to finish the match on day-4 itself? Why he allowed Sharma, and Aaron to bowl from both ends despite they were expensive? Why he allowed both to settle and score big and fast runs, that is the mysterious question. The match was lost due to that partnership on day 4, as the track was turning more & more and due to that the moderate target was also difficult to chase.

You have asked some most pertinent questions which none of our stalwarts like Shshtri,Patil can ever answer,because they have no concern for the honor of the country and concern for good cricket.At least, Shashtri in combination with a few others are more interested in fiddling in black money and glamour of Bollywood.

Kohli said team will adopt aggressive game plan for the series.did he forget his own plan or change plan after the Lankan 2nd innings.Can we atleast see all out aggression in the next 2 tests to win the series
We deserve to play only in IPL or against UAE OR KENYA ETC. EVEN TEAMS LIKE ZIMBABWE, IRLAND,AFGANISTAN WILL BE TOUGH TO BEAT FOR INDIA, NO, IAM NOT JOKING, BANGLADESH PROVED THAT BEATING INDIA IS NOT THAT TOUGH. PLAYING TEST CRICKET IS NOT EASY, IT REQUIRES GREAT MENTAL STRENGTH, STAMINA, PATIENCE,ENDURANCE, CONCENTRATION AND SMARTNESS WHICH WAS ABSENT. SO THEY DESERVE TO PLAY ONLY IN IPL WHICH IS ALREADY FIXED.
Our batsmen were too defensive. They played as if thy wanted to play two full days. A couple of aggressive knocks would change the game. Agree that Rahane is most accomplished batsman. He is a specialized opening batsman. Selectors treat him as a middle order batsman for no reason
Rahane seems to be the most accomplished batsman in the indian batting line up. Making him bat at 5 is spoling the momentum of batting. He has the technique and the temperament to bat at number 3. Either him or Pujara.. Rohit Sharma lacks patience and he should bat at numebr 5.
I have always maintained that India is today the worst side in the world. They are incapable of winning overseas & will be thrashed by any of the top teams. Even Zimbabwe might beat them. This Sri Lankan team was beaten black & blue by Pakistan & they have thrashed us now. Kohli's strategy of including a fellow Sardar in Harbhajan has led to India's defeat. Her was a collosal failure in this test & instead of him we should have had an extra batsman. Rohit Sharma has got to go now that he has failed consistently.

Someone was screaming about Team India from the Red Fort & the real Team India has given him a wonderful Independence Day gift. To rely on Team India is betting your last Dollar good bye.

WE win bcoz of bowlers but must admit we lost bcoz of very poor batting.. Disppointing Rohit Rahul AND Rahne failed in both inings..
kept up to their reputation to bring lost form back of any player in rival team. Eg. Steve Smith of Australia, Jack Kallis of South Africa and now Rangan Herath of Sri Lanka. Mera Bharat Mahaan!!
