MSD has broken the backbone of Indian test team by showing rigidness in selecting cricketers who are just IPL heroes. This is where Dada was different. He gave MSD and wonderful and all weather condition team which helped him to get success as captain. Dada was truly the best Indian captain even. Now Virat needs to take tough decisions
Dinesh Karthik ( instead of KL Rahul, he has failed enough ) Murali Vijay ( deserves at least one more chance ) Cheteswar Pujara ( no option but to give him another chance ) Kohli Rahane Pant Ashwin Ishant Shami Bumrah ( I think he will be fit then ) Kuldeepu
Kuldeep did not impress but you can't blame bowlers when batsmen are incapable of getting a total to defend.
As though that will solely explain the huge margin of defeat !
Were the conditions so adverse in the second innings ?
And why so silent about the English batsmen so completely overpowering the hyped to the skies Indian bowlers ?
Oh, cut the crap !
The Indian team is far inferior to the England one, face the reality !
It is another matter that a quarter billion drooling Indian commoners, mostly members of the inferiority complex ridden Indian middle classes, lap up any bit of hyperbole about Indian cricketers that appears in the Indian media and also lap up innumerable monstrously stuxpid commercials featuring Kohli and others !

Abe kaliye, the ever stinkimng, jobless, useless komaaaaaaaaaaaaaaali Buffoon, do you even know how to hold cricket bat ? Better keep quiet and instead of giving comment on the subject you dont know, better sit quietly in one corner with your tail between your legs.

Hey peabrain and wayside defecator !
How do you know what I know and what I do not know ?
What makes you come on such oublic forums and display your peabrain in such blissful ignorance ?
The same ignorance and stuxpidity that makes most north Indians go hyndu.....muxlim.....hyndu......muxlim.....pork......beexf..... regardless of whatever is the topic of discussion ?
Virat & Ravi are were biased in team selection. When Umesh bowled well in first test, he became bench player. Even ashwin playing well in both innings, he was not prooted. Same is the case with Bhuvi, Rahane & Pujara in SA tour. Even pandya failed in whole tour except one inning, he is selected in all mathces due to love & care of virat. His whims & fancy policy badly affected Indian Test cricket. Wait, the same would be case In WC 2019 in England.

In first test we were always in the game & gave a good fight but yesterdays display was a dismal .
More or less same Team whitewashed AUS IN AUS last year , beat SA in SA & ENG in ENG last month ( Let it be in any format of the game . CRICKET IS CRICKET )
Serious introspection is needed . I don't think team selection is wrong .
Are very great players sitting outside & warming the benches ?? NO - -
We have to manage the show with same team .
All are good batsman but failed . Vijay made zero in both innings . Neither Rahul/ Rahane / Pujara / Karthik scored .
I can't understand , when a bowler like Woakes can score a century on the same wicket , why our specialist batsman flattered ??
Viraat alone cannot score in each & every innings he plays . Others must support him .
BUT I STILL BELIEVE, TEAM INDIA WILL BOUNCE BACK .

This Indian team must rub its nose in the ground by going to Pakistan to learn how to bat in seaming conditions. Pakistan played like champions in England & were unlucky to lose the second Test after winning the first. The Indians have caved in like miserable swine who deserve to be shoved into a manhole. This is what happens when you think you are the best in the world not realizing that the others are just waiting with their sharpened knives for you. Today I can confidently say India is WORSE than Zimbabwe.

Inzzy, the paki, do you even know how to hold cricket bat ? Better dont become an expert on a game which you dont know. Better see where your pakis stand currently on world cricket.
world number 1 test team could not bat for 90 overs. first innings 35 overs and second inning 46 overs. new zealand and pak teams gave lot of trouble to england team but we just gave up. This where probably kumble as a coach would have made the difference

Last 2-3 years India played in India or Bangladesh or Srilanka and won matches. Exception being winning in South Africa against SA B team.
Actually, the Pak team did much better in English conditions and drew their series 1-1. Their seam bowling was superior and batsmen showed guts to fight it out .
