No need to gloat over individual performances because Team India is embarrassingly bad

[Gollum]

Many people jumping with joy and partying already. Here we are facing possibility of a defeat yet again and people busy celebrating individual achievements. What, are we back in the 90s? 

 

Since Jan 1 2011, we are 1-16 in the big 4 countries, slowly but surely staring at 1-17, much worse than Lanka and Pakistan. Kohli is yet to get off the mark in Aus/SA and this bunch is already experienced courtesy the 2013-15 overseas cycle. All of them are at the peak of their powers and at the ideal age to take their game to the next level. What does the no 1 team have to show for all this? Will another 0-3 with 2-3 sparkling individual performances make you guys happy? Are we frigging Bangladesh?

 

Kohli has been exceptional with the bat but are we so ready to forget/forgive his selection blunders and nepotism that has driven us to a corner in the 1st place? Without Parthiv Patel they would never have crossed 270, 7 drops by our fielders in 1 innings, 5 of those off that one bowler who needed a boost to get into beast mode in the 3rd innings. WTF is Rohit even doing in this team? And without Bhuvi we have a weak tail, Kohli may run out of partners here, so what? No sympathy for him because he was the one who dropped Bhuvi. Our running between wickets, coaching staff, batting technique, lack of application, brainlessness, ...........a huge mountain of problems piling up by the day.

 

We are *ed up here, so no need to float in air.

The SA batsmen were superior 

India’s batting...New Fab Four or whatever was a false dawn

I told you guys on the first day after seeing the pitch . This pathetic SA batting lineup will bat us out . 

The first test was our best chance to win . 

 

We have take 2 steps backwards under Virat , a much younger side dominated a much stronger SA side on our last tour . Some amazing talent at disposal , yes ..but we are screwed till Virat is the captain

I can only imagine what our test ranking is going to be a year from now after all those overseas tours.
