Everything will be swept under the carpet, BCCI or the selectors have never been pro active nor the captain, there is no professionalism, administration, communications , planning very poor, we are miles behind POMS, AUSSIES IN THIS REGARD.A country of 1 billion, we should rule the world of cricket like Brasil, ARGENTINA rules soccer.THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY AT ALL, WITH SRIKANT, DHONI, SHUKLA, SRINIVASAN'S ATTITUDE IS SAD, NO ONE IS TALKING OF ANY MEASURES LONG TERM PLANS TO CORRECT THIS.IF GANGULY WAS THE CAPT WE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN 3 -0 DOWN, THE SCORE LINE WOULD BE DIFFERENT, DHONI IS THE DUMBEST TEST CAPT I HAVE SEEN IN AGES.

Like I said nothing is going to change and this just proves it, the BCCI is a corrupt organization with politicians involved who are dipping their fingers in the pie. They don't give a **** about Indian cricket or us fans, it's all about money and power and it's not just the BCCI corruption is allover Indian society, no wonder we are a laughing stock, we won a few games at home and fans were screaming how great we are. Sorry but other country's do not like us or respect us, and this is just another reason why we are the laughing stock, the BCC should be disbanded, we have to start from scratch, we are a pathetic joke.

IPL is a lazy excuse for the low IQ folk. There are more serious problems with Indian cricket than the IPL. We were still performing in Tests when the first 3/4 IPLs took place. Why blame it now?

The attitude of some players has changed. This is why... From his vantage position beyond mid-on, outside the boundary rope, former Indian batsman and coach Anshuman Gaekwad heard some words that caused some dismay. It was a Deodhar Trophy match, a ball was hit towards him, and the man at midwicket chased it and finally dived. His captain at mid-on could have done this too, but he didn't. The reason became clear when he admonished his teammate thus: Are you mad, why are you diving? The IPL is coming, do you want to hurt yourself and miss it? Gaekwad says, what the hell man, is this what cricket has come to? I was shocked, all the more so because the two players are in the Indian team now. http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/surfer/archives/2012/01/a_contentment_w.php

Having read numerous posts about the attitude and antics of the BCCI and I now have a much better appreciation for the anger many have to this board. I sympathise with you... that is horrendous. I have never seen a board or administration not have a complete review on the back of these performances. Even WI have a review when they are smashed and if you are outside WI you would expect some smashings (i.e. in Aus, Ind, SA or Eng) to superior teams.

N Srinivasan, the BCCI President, made light of the loss, saying home conditions had helped Australia dominate in the series. "It is a case of Australians played better in their home conditions," he said. "England won 5-0 in England. They came here here within a month or two and they lost 5-0. Last time, after our loss to England, I had said that we will beat them when they visit India." "Next New Zealand is coming to India and it will be followed by England and Australia. We will beat these three teams on our own soil. They cannot beat us here and we will feel very happy." Just have a look at the thinking of some of these as s h oles. Horrific, scary and irresponsible by any stretch of imagination. Where is the fuc kin vision you MF ????

This Indian team can't win abroad: Ganguly "The time has come for a statement. When the entire world talks about the Indian Premier League, rightly or wrongly, selectors will have to show that India's Test team matters. I know it does with selectors, but now actions have to prove it," Ganguly added. "What will be the biggest test for the selectors will be fairness. There is talk about VVS Laxman being dropped for the Adelaide Test. If that's the case, the same rule should be applied to other players as well." "I will be watching keenly whether the Indian selectors push all this under the carpet or stand up and take decisions to take Indian cricket forward, which to me is the biggest and the most important thing right now," he said.

I had thought Dhoni was better than Ganguly but recently ive realised how he does not care much about test cricket and his defensive tactics are rubbish in tests. If only someone like Ganguly could captain India again.

All top teams will lose if they play on Indian soil: BCCI president As India's disastrous performance in Test series against Australia has drawn flak from all quarters, BCCI president N Srinivasan came out with a bizarre defence of the team saying all top teams would lose when they play on Indian soil. "England won 5-0 in England. They came here here within a month or two and they lost 5-0. Last time, after our loss to England, I had said that we will beat them when they visit India," Srinivasan tried to defend the team's dismal overseas performance in the past one year which has seen Dhoni and Co lose seven consecutive Tests. Srinivasan reasoned that Australia did well as they used home conditions to good effect. "It is a case of Australians played better in their home conditions," he added. The BCCI president who is also the owner of IPL team Chennai Super Kings feels that once India plays and beats teams like New Zealand, England and Australia in coming months, everyone will "feel very happy." "Next New Zealand is coming to India and it will be followed by England and Australia. We will beat these three teams on our own soil. They cannot beat us here and we will feel very happy." http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_we-will-beat-australians-at-home-defends-bcci-president_1638012 :cantstop:

They are committing self suicide by talking like this. "Sone ka anda dene wali muri ko khud hi maar rahe hain." They don't understand aaaipieal-paayipieal wont work without Indian team doing well everywhere.

Does this team need a psychologist? The mental fragility this team has shown ever since the WC has been alarming. They have crumbled under slightest bit of pressure applied by the opposition. Could this have something to do with the departure of Paddy Upton the mental conditioning coach? The likes of Sehwag and Sachin have gone on record recognizing the value sessions with Upton resulted in helping them come over some of their insecurities. Should the BCCI look at employing a sports psychologist, even if its on a temporary basis, while the team is on tour? It my appear as if they are pressing the panic button, but given the disarray the team is in, am sure a few sessions with a 'shrink' will prove to be useful, especially for the the likes of Sachin, Sehwag, Gauti and even MSD himself.

I say England has the best chance to beat our team this time in tests and I see no reason they cannot do this.

[asterix]

They need an Astrologist, who will tell them to get rid of all the unlucky (manhoos) players at once..These unlucky players are collectively pulling down the team's fortune.. I just don't want to see a struggling Tendulkar. He should effing call it a day. He's become a fooking sideshow..Either get over it or effing leave us alone..

[Tiger80]

The biggest manhoos is Duncan Fletcher ,England lost so much when he was coach

Dhoni hints at phasing out of seniors after series Dhoni for gradual phasing out of seniors Sidharth Monga at the WACA MS Dhoni has said he is not aware of any ultimatum the BCCI might have given to VVS Laxman after the batsman's lean series in England and Australia. It was reported in some Indian newspapers, quoting BCCI officials, that Laxman might have played his last Test in Perth. "As of now there is nothing like that that I know of officially," Dhoni said when asked about the development. When asked if he would try to talk him out of it if Laxman indeed decided to call it quits, Dhoni said: "I won't like to answer something where there is a big if and big but. I don't know where this came from, but unless Laxman comes and tells me I don't know whether it's happening or not happening. I really don't have to think about it [now]." Dhoni, however, spoke about the importance of phasing out the seniors thoughtfully. He said he hadn't sat and thought about it, but the end of the series might be a good time to start. "Not really right now," he said. "May be at the end of the series will be a right time. We also have to see what the senior's thoughts are. I think there is a bit more emphasis right now about getting rid of the seniors but it will be a very careful decision. Because of what they have done for the country, and the amount of experience they can share with the youngsters." Dhoni spoke of getting a right combination of youth and experience. "Very important to have the right mixture at the right time," he said. "You can't have all the seniors missing out all of a sudden, and all the juniors coming in. We will have to thoughtfully decide the best option. Give a bit of exposure to youngsters coming [in], at the same time have the fair mix of experienced guys and youngsters. "Ultimately [in] Test cricket a lot of people will be tested, but once they transfer that experience or share that experience, the job of the youngsters will become slightly easy. That's something we need to be very careful about." There has been widespread criticism that India have already delayed the phasing out of their three great batting stars. There have been calls to lose with young players if they have to keep losing, like they have done over the last seven overseas Tests. The Adelaide Test will be India's last away from home over the next two years. "Ultimately we know that most of our batsmen who will come in or will be part of the team will perform in India because we have played in India," Dhoni said. "But we need to find ways as to how we perform outside India. Definitely it will be a good option to see the youngsters coming in. Of course we are playing quite a few games in India, but we are playing tough opposition at the same time. I think it will be a good exposure for them." Dhoni was asked if the Indian set-up lacked the courage to drop legends of the game when they were out of form. "It's not about courage," he said. "It's about taking the right decision. Just for example, if you see in this series, people went after Virat [Kohli] to be dropped, and he batted really well in this series. You have to give that span of time to people. Especially when you know somebody is a really talented guy, you have to give that extra time to that particular batsman to keep going on." Dhoni was also asked how he would like to see the transition happen. "I have not sat and thought over it," he said. "It's something everybody needs to be a part of. The players and the BCCI also. It will be a process rather than just an event. We will be carefully deciding as to what needs to be done in the best interest of the country." http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2011/content/current/story/549548.html
