India vs England 2012

[Lord]

Not even that team - it showed a lot of pluck and we had numerous advantageous positions throughout the Australia and South Africa series. Not here though - we are just going through the motions.

to add to the fact there is lot more ability on paper atleast

we are at about the same level as bang bros

THIS

You need a captain after you make changes in the team........... How exactly do you expect the performances to changes purely by changing the captain?

[saneindian]

So England's performance in Sri Lanka counts, what about Lanka losing a test to the Kiwis and Pakistan losing a series to the Lankans when even Kiwis drew their series? Does that make us twice the better side as Lanka? Frankly, we are a mid tier test side and the rankings reflect that.

^ good post. Pakis could not beat West Indies in West Indies

[Raghav_12]

We need someone more "active" than a laid back person like MS Dhoni at least for the Test team. It may also give Dhoni some rest. However' date=' this would mean that Tendulkar should retire from ODIs which I think is a win-win situation overall.[/quote'] One of the few occassions when I agree with you.:cantstop: Sachin can be there as stop-gap arrangement while some younger player (Kohli?) remains understudy and takes over when Sachin retires.

Kohli should first concentrate on his game.

Lankans are worse than Bangladesh. Even Bang Bros will win a home series against kiwis.

better selection of XI from squad,better bowling changes,field placements,change in general mood by keeping team upbeat etc.

the side that SA played in their practice game scored 480 something. we saw what happened when the real games started :winky: plus we rested the great kulasekara, he'd have smashed this lineup.

[Debutant]

Nothing will change. Dhoni shamelessly will give some excuse. Nobody in Indian cricket is accountable.

better selection of XI from squad' date='better bowling changes,field placements,change in general mood by keeping team upbeat etc.[/quote'] What better selection of XI ?? Who would you change in the current playing 11 ??

[cameron_black]

maybe the pitch changed after mid-innings rain?

[asterix]

The Father (Srini) & Son (Dhobi) duo need to go... As long as they are at the helm, Indian cricket will keep sliding down..

[CG]

We need to first select on ranji performances and give guys like rohit,tiwary a chance not odi specialists like yuvi,raina. We need to plan ahead and ask viru to move down the order and Get Rahane in. We need to manage Aaron,Yadav,Ishant,sreesanth,Shami ahmed well Also need a captain who is proactive.

[JaFanatic]

lol they are our confident boosting side. i think its time for the next sri lankan tour
