There is nothing new in it. After getting thrashed black and blue they will come back, call some weak teams , beat them convincingly and make records while shooting for commercials and minting money. Meanwhile next IPL will come where actual money lies. SHAMELESS people!
After having played with grit and determination in the first match,it was forgettable second Test at the Lords, where the rub-of-the-green went against one team. Spitting rain whenever they batted, any number of stoppages and restarts and brilliant sunshine when England batted.... On top of it, there were at least 3 players woefully out of form-Vijay, Rahane and Kartik who struggled behind as well as in front of the stumps.Nothing that cannot be addressed as they have done as bad or worse on tours, the one to SA a few months back being the latest before bouncing back. But there was a serious cause for worry-the comments of the men sitting in the box and making judgements. One of them, a guy who used his single-minded focus on 'me before the team' and kept the right company for having been in the team as long as he had, was nothing short of nasty. A bad loss under testing conditions after a fighting opening match- and is it the end of the world- unless they have an axe-to-grind? If the schedule was wrongly drawn up with hardly any acclimatising tour matches before the Tests began, the wise men in the box, the opinion makers had more to do with it than the players. We can forgive the others, for selfish interests loom large for them, but one of the most gutsy Captains we have had running down the team...!!!! I hope they are proved wrong in saying that the team has GIVEN UP and it is not even the half-way stage.

My point is about the commentators' attitude. How many times has India been blanked in Australia earlier! This is nothing new. Cricketers making money through advertisement is also not new. The third day most of the time there was bright sunshine, as evidenced by the sharp shadows. Even when it was slightly over-cast, there was no persistent rain like the second and fourth day.

This Kalia Komaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaali Buffoon don’t know anything about cricket but as usual he always like to give his expert (?) comment on everything.
Kohli & company please retire immediately. Shame on you guys for playing like bedeviled swine. You guys are fit to be trashed into a gutter & treated with contempt. You folks make money of us & this is your performance. Go & ask the PM of Pakistan how to play in England. He will give you valuable tips.

Inzzy, the Paki, better you get retired yourself from writing nonsnese. India has better records in Test and One day than your pakistan. No one is prepared to visit Pakistand to play any series due to security reasons. You people better play gully and Mohalla cricket there.

Don't worry you will crawl on all fours dying to play with Pakistan soon. They are the world's best side at the moment in all formats of the game. Get real you gaumuth drinker.

Inzzy the Paki, India has thrashed your Pakis number of times . They are afraid to face Indians all the time.
Indian batsmen played 82 overs in two innings and bowlers played 88 overs. So, based on the performance, 3/4 of match fees of the batsmen and half match fees of the bowlers should be deducted. Make it purely performance linked pay as we are paid in our professional life.
kohli and team should take it as just another game rather then taking pressure as defeated team... rather should work on positive mindset..want aggression in batting rather then just defending seam bowling attack of england...
