Indian outlook is totally defensive. There is no aggressive intent, no planning to take 20 wickets. The selectors are more afraid of losing...so they don't even make any attempt to win. And depend on the toss to try and bat first. Even that will backfire against strong bowling attacks like RSA, Eng, Aus or Pak.
So, never mind the bowlers, Dhoni. Don't pretend that you feel for them. If you really cared about their workload, you would have picked 5 bowlers. Instead you prefer to protect your (already pampered) batsmen.
I wouldn't at all be surprised to see more bowlers go the Flintoff/Murali route: forget tests and make easy money by playing IPL. There also, the bowlers are cannon-fodder, but the torture lasts for much less time, and there is oodles of money on offer.
Summing up, we want more dead pitches so that our Bradmans can boost their test average? After all, shouldn't Sachin get to 50 test hundresds?? Isn't that more important than winning tests?
And sponsors' darling Yuvy is feeling left out...he is sad that he missed scoring some easy runs. He is licking his chops and waiting for the next pitch to be of the same lifeless variety.
Hitting headlines? abdul Rahem Telgi of stamp paer scam ,ottovio Quotrochhi the Italian crook who swidled crores & Ramalinga Raju did hit headlines for days together. Stop projecting Rahul Gandhi - like late VP singh he is a another media creation.
Unfortunately Neheru could hijack congress during partition and actually plotted the whole partition just to capture power. Since then congress is a party of landlords, opportunist and goons. To rule them it has been proven number of times no one but you have to have someone from Neheru family.Otherwise how could it be possible there are no other mature leaders in that party even person like Pranab Mukherjee also have to tow the family line and accept Rahul as future leader and next Prime Minister of India. It is shameful for our country and billion people who only worries for so called sensex only.

Pranab da is old enough to accept Rahul as the future. That's the difference between Pranab da and others who remain PM in waiting for ever.
