indha maaNdippayalai pOna match eduthirukkalaam.
Selectors announced the test squad only for 2 tests, rt? Time to make some drastic changes for the 3rd and fourth.
Bhajji- Plis get out. Wonder why he was selected in first place.
Gambhir- Drop with immediate effect, Go back to Ranji.
Ashwin- Strict warning not to tread Bhajji's footsteps. You remain in the team as a bowler not on batting credentials.
Yuvi- See you in Limited overs cricket.
Dhoni- Final ultimatum for captaincy.
Sachin- enna solla, plis neengaLE yedhavadhu paathu seyyunga :-(
Pujara and Ojha only saving grace.
ind lost :cry2:
well played england :neutral:
Oflate he has become a whiner. When you lose,Quote:

huh!!
More than the 8-0 loss, this defeat will be humiliating for Dhoni & Co. :(
An excellent test match just got to an end at the Adelaide Oval. CSKian Faf played a gem of an innings.
Yep..what an innings on his debut match.. played more than 60 overs under immense pressure on debut to save a test match against AUS :hats off:
[But they are stupid to allow AUS to bowl two more overs than the mandatory ones under this situation.. should have delayed by asking for gloves, bat etc in between balls :lol2:]
Siddle was terrific too.. butlove to see them not winning :noteeth:
ithanai thunbhathulayum enna oru inbam :lol:
Every time India loses, it is not the loss that hurts, but they way they lose without a fight does! :evil: Vaangura kaasukku konjamaavadhu pOraadalaam!
As long as Seenu maama is there, nothing will happen to Dhoni and we'll continue to pulambify......
oh well...when the wounds are still fresh, I have to say this - Laxman, WE MISS YOU! :cry2:

Selectors retain the same squad for Kolkata test :pink:
Umesh is still injured and out of 3rd test!
Kolkata pitch curator replaced by BCCI
Eden Gardens pitch curator, Prabir Mukherjee, has been replaced after he refused to prepare a rank turner for the upcoming third Test. Indian skipper MS Dhoni had requested a pitch that would turn from day one.
Mr.Mukherjee has been a veteran curator at the Eden Gardens and he has prepared pitches for 14 Tests in the past. He has been replaced by Ashish Bhowmick of the Tripura Cricket Association. Mr. Bhowmick is also a member of the BCCI's Pitches Committee. Following the 10 wicket loss in Mumbai, Dhoni persisted with the stand that a rank turner be prepared for the Kolkata Test as well. The third Test starts on 5th December and the series is tied 1-1.
Mr. Mukherjee's first brush with controversy came during the 2010 series between India and South Africa when he allegedly refused to heed requests from the BCCI to prepare a turning track. This prompted MS Dhoni to express his disappointment at not getting a turning track. Mr. Mukherjee, on his part, denies that such a demand was ever made.

Irrespective of the results, Dhoni is making valid points. A pitch that starts spinning early means the toss is out of the equation, we will have more tests that end in results instead of only 1 in 2/3 ending in a result.Quote:

India 90-2, Sehwag and Pujara dismissed.
Kohli follows Raina style-initially good performance-then same old story
still we have advantage of toss win and batting first.
Earlier Dhoni never won tosses in Tests but the team performed well at least in home conditions.
Now Dhoni is consistently winning tosses but the team lets him down.
Another shameful performance by India in first innings :banghead: Gambhi started it in the morning by running out Sehwag and things never looked up since.
I'm afraid we'll get to see a double century by Cookie at Eden and bring all other English batsmen to supreme form :mad:
This is just getting worse. I really hope we don't let Eng win this series :Pray:
when eng started innings they were very slow in batting.
i stopped following-thinking eng are not able to play our bowlers
now they have scored more than 150.
enna dhaan hope-nnalum oru nyaayam vENdaamaa? :-)Quote:

sari sachin retire aagidraar... apram IPL style'a naalu overseas player vechu velayaaduveengalaa??

We'll rebuild from scratch.......those losses won't be as painful as they are today! If the team loses fighting, it is fine. Everyone seem to be taking their place for granted. Play badly and pick up the guts to blame the pitch and whine about the curator! A new all juniors team can't do any worse than what Team India does today.
ella pulambhi enna payan, oNNum nadakkaadhu :evil:
yes.. there is no fire...
i would only blame the leader... there is no motivation...
He was the only one to get some runs apart from Gambhir. I feel there's no reason for him to feel embarrased by his effort yesterday. India is definitely struggling. Good chance of us losing the test match.We need a good bowling performance to start with tomorrow.Quote:

Sachin top scores and still England seems untouchably ahead.
Thus far, I couldn't have asked for better.
That sums it up quite nicely. Is Dhoni.....cool or insensitive?Quote:

Gambhir should be the first guy to be sacked, the guy's was such a selfish innings in the 2nd test. If Dhoni doesn't quit after losing 10 test matches in 1 Year, he needs to be shown the door. Sachin is still running around the field, diving and giving his all.Shame on the Kohli's,Ashwins etc., Sachin should be missing the likes of Dada,Kumble,Dravid and Laxman, Men who played with pride and purpose.
Srinivasan should be cemented back to Chennai.

Srinivasan should be cemented back to Chennai. He and his pathetic defenses!!!!
In his last four innings, R Ashwin has picked up three wickets and conceded 346 runs (average 115.33). :clap:
This is a leadership crisis for sure...but Dhoni is not the main problem. I am not defending Dhoni but he is the best captain we have, there is not much he can do as a batsman when he comes in at 150/5.
Is there an alternative for the captaincy? There is not a single established player in the team whose place is not in question.
Pujara is still raw(< 10 matches) and Kohli's batting has been a huge let down in this series.
The leadership problem starts at the selection committee. How come there was only one option for no.6 slot...thats the only position thats open and you give the captain only one option.
Dhoni caused a huge commotion in the press just for asking spinning tracks.....I am not sure what would have happened had he called for dropping players like Sehwag, Gambir and Tendulkar(I know I will be damn p*ssed)
I don't know what to say about Tendulkar...looks like time has caught up....he was the best batsman in 2011 and its only natural you give him more opportunities. This year has been horrendous for him and he is still the best indian batsmen in the ICC rankings....speaks volume about the rest. IMO he should exit gracefully, there is not much he can do to this team which has such arrogant players like Sehwag, Gambir, Yuvi(looks like he is genuine when he says he wants to play test but he isnt cut out for this format) and Kohli who take their place in the team for granted.
The less we talk about bowling and fielding the better, even when we reached No.1 except for a few good spells from Zaheer and spinners doing well in Indian conditions there was nothing to write about.
Selection committee should drop Sehwag, Gambir, Yuvraj.
Tendulkar must retire (I am sad to say this he can still play better than the replacements but it won't do good in the long run for the team).
Ashwin needs to be dropped....he lacks the patience for a test bowler...he should work on that. I am not sure whether we have a replacement. Not Bhaji please.
Our fast bowling department...there is too much of load on Zaheer(quit one of the formats please) Ishant, Dinda, Awana, Irfan its not that bad...we atleast have a few players in the bench.
My 11 will be
Rahane, Mukund,Pujara,Badri,Kohli,Tiwary,Dhoni,Ashwin(I cant think of anyone else), Zaheer, Ishant, Ohja.
Sema verila irukaen thats why ivlo periya post, had to get this of my mind, sorry for the rant.
Edit: Regarding Dhoni being captain, yes he should be phased out. Give Pujara/ Kohli more time, groom someone and let Dhoni go.
