hmmm.....So we lost another!
Batsman like Dravid, Dhoni and Kohli are 0 in front of Ashwin and Zaheer!

I seriously don't count Sehwag! Because he is like Diwali cracker..you cant imagine how much sound he will generate...Kabhi BOOOOOOOM Kabhi PHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSS!

Well, we can give Rohit a try... But more as a long term solution, we need to get a solid opener/number three.. So my suggestion in the near future the batting order should be (provided the big 3 are staying)a) Sehwag, New-Solid-Opener, Gambhir, Sachin, Dravid, Laxmanb) Gambhir, New-Solid-Opener, Dravid, Sachin, Sehwag, Laxmanc) Sehwag, Gambhir, New-Solid-No.3 , Sachin, Dravid, LaxmanOpener/No.3 - Guys like Badrinath, Pujara, Rahane etcand start trying people like Rohit (or give chances "again" to people like Yuvraj/Raina -) at the 5,6 slots by resting the big guys or after they retire

India needs to start thinking differently, we need to start thinking ahead of dravid, laxman and sachin ... remember 2007 T 20 WC was won by a young team, agreed that was a different format of the game but still .. even 2011 ODI WC was won by a comparatively young team barring sachin who was there in it ... Few tough decisions will need to be taken .. we cant remove all 3 together but now is the time to start phasing out one by one ...

More than changing the team, the mood in the team is to b changed. The way these guys are dropping guard, it is quite clear that Sunny is right. This very team had given some tough time to NZ in NZ, SA in SA, and even SL in SL. Few players here or there, but the core was still pretty much the same.So the problem isnt with the players. Players have all the capacity in the world. If they play their normal games it wud have been atleast 1-0 in our favor. Aussies are a weak side at the moment, but just coz they r strong at home, they r able to take the advantage of the rift in the Indian team.A fragile top order, a middle order which was out of form, & lack of experience in the bowling attack. If these guys had just played atleast 80-90% of their potential, they cud have crushed this Aussie team. But sadly, thats not the case!

ICT (indian cricket team) will be facing more music in WACA. they had a very flat wicket in the last test which was similar to the indian subcontinent, yet they falltered.Now they will face some real chin music in a very bouncy pitch in WACA.and those who thought that pattinson injury was a blessing, Watch ryan harris the replacement. he has one of the best averages in world cricket ATM. ICT can score even sub 100 in WACA

The same was being said when we played in Durban last year, and in Perth in 2008......but the team that time had the zest to prove the critics wrong.I m afraid, this time they wont b taking the field with that mental attitude to prove the critics wrong!

Look at the positive side. Atleast now the uncles will start retiring, else no one wanted to!Sachin might be an exception but Dravid & VVS are long past their best. Dravid still plays better but they are spoiling the chances for youngsters who have played only in IPL/meaningless ODIs.Sample this. Ganguly retired in 2008 and we are yet to find a replacement. Now we have atleast two open positions and one next year (sachin).Hope the selectors leave Rahul & VVS out. They served the team very well and are all time India greats...The team anyway gets out around the score of 200 in foreign soil. Why not try the youngsters

I think Moin has read the DNA article of today!But yeah, when v toured in 2007-08, they said "Aussie team is a Dad's army".....today that applies to our team!
