Can't even play Broad, Anderson, Moeen Ali and Shastri thinks they would have scored against Wasim, Waqar, McGrath, Warne, Murali!! Height of hypocrisy. Only fools like Sunil/shilpa supports this mindless coach

Okay we have understood that an old uncle who works as a toiletCleaner in Srini's house is happy now
The Indian cricket team has again proved that we Indians are only fit to talk high of ourselves whereas in reality we are fit for nothing. It is a clear testimony to the general attitude of us Indians, especially politicians that it is enough to talk and talk up our invisible greatness...like how Virat Kohli displayed his unfounded hubris in the first test...
REDIFF -Thanks for focusing/Covering on other Sports{and not only cricket}.This will encourage PLAYERS to do much Better for INDIA and let us listen JAN MAN GAN repeatedly.
I dislike one more facility given to the batsman. Just as a bowler is not allowed to change his side from which he bowls(Over & Round the wicket) a batsman should also not be allowed to execute shots from the opposite side of his natural batting stance.( I meant the REVERSE SWEEP) This definitely affects the merit of the ball. I am with the author when he expressed that Bowlers have turned the game.

Cricket should always be a bowlers game but due to the laziness of great legends as well the connivance of cricket board and the pitch curator, most of the pitches were made to suit the batsmen who used to enjoy plundering the bowlers and creating records but actually the skill and credit for cricket as a game should go to the bowlers who have to do very hard work and toil for each and every bowl. But as the rule of world goes, bowlers have never been given due credit for the game's success and they have always only been put to lots and more of effort. So, its a great thing to see bowlers shining and making a match of 5-day than the boring draw. Pitches all over the world should be made bowlers friendly so that the game becomes exciting and talent and skill of a good batsmen come to fore in facing bowlers at such track. Anyway, England is in a very bad shape. Their batsmen that too good and top ones don't even seem to know batting the way they are playing and it is surprising to see even when Cook is in such hopeless form and playing badly, they are still continuing with him. Allan Lamb who were criticising Indian batsmen is shameless that he is not looking into his own team and neither giving them tips to play. England should mostly lose this Test series 3-2. Its a failure on England legends that they are not able to produce good players like Virat, Pujara etc.
After first two tests all these guys written off India and no words of consolation or encourageement. Everything wrong with the team and the supporting staff. After the excellent win in the third match now these people the critics also trying to get attention by praising the team. If India lose this game then only fault finding could be heard. I do not know much about Aakar Patel and not sure weather he is different from others.
