I would say corruption. The amount of money that goes around...it most is likely corruption.

The only way Rahul may come into the team is if Pakistani win this one.

IPL surely has helped Indian cricket. The Eng test series loss is due to poor planning and selection. We easily have at least an additional 5 India A batsman who could have debuted. All we needed was consistent ~280-300 scores in every innings.

ODI's - If we had Panth, Bumrah .. the series was ours. Test - Few tosses our way and inclusion of Nair, Vihari, Shaw (all we needed was a combined 70-80 runs from these three) from the third test onwards would have given us the series at least 3-2.

Jadeja at 6? ICF jumping the gun again. 3 tests ago some wanted Ashwin to be the captain of the test side.

Thats it folks... this may go the lords way.

1000 year war folks...he said it.

If Con Ecosystem, Jihadi's and EJ's are lording over a 80% Bhindu nation with a Raul Gandhi.....imagine what would have happened if Rajeev's son was someone like Deora Jr or Scindia Jr. Modi has a totally betrayed the Hindu Rashtra. He should have dismantled and run riot inside Parivar camp. There is no crime that Parivar hasnt committed.

Another thing to note is Indonesia has P-a-k-i style hunt-your-Qadiani.

Should have played Nair or Jadeja. Get Vihari/Shaw/Mayank for 4th and 5th test

All I can say is Pakistani have progressed a lot. A few years ago this kiki dance on PIA would never happen.

"Sonia is unhappy"

Whats with Pakistani and youngest this and youngest that....youngest Microsoft certified...

Miky Arthur. Without him chichorapan like umpteenth times over the years.

Shaw Rahul Mayank Agarwal Kohli Rahane (Captain) Vihari Pant Ashwin Bumrah Siraj Shami ---------- Kuldeep Yadav

Earlier when India performed badly in away tours there would be coach interviews/articles etc about what technique changes, approach changes were being made going into the next match. These days no one asks these questions to Shastri, Kohli. Yes need Kumble or some foreign coach (not like Greg Chappel)

Even with this batting line up, Indian team could have been much more competitive provided they had a real technical coach invested in Test Cricket and good dressing room atmosphere.

WTH is this thread? Who is faizal?

Shaw/Agarwal/Siraj should be in England from atleast the third test. Even if they fail we have nothing to lose as barring Kohli/Ashwin/Bumrah the rest of the team has zero contribution

India never does well with this last day chases. Always loses 2-3 main wickets in first 20 minutes.

Any bowler can take wickets on this pitch. You should be Ishanth and Umesh to fessup like this. The blame should go to Kohli and Shastri for not planning your test lineup before the season started.

What a phateechar bowling line up we have. Half the deliveries are way outside leg. And passengers Umesh and Ishanth havent even bowled yet.

More entertainment.

Kohli not looking in his usual fluent touch. He needs some time in the middle.
