Team India test team needs a new captain and fresh ideas...

^ Aam Aadmi Team... The Captain is Aam Admi...he can't be blamed...

[express bowling]

when he first played FC 4 years back' date=' he was very raw. He then did well in EPT on flat tracks in 2011. After that, he played for India but injury made him play nothing for about 18 months. This season, he is averaging 20. See what he is doing now, not what he did 3 years back.[/quote'] Exactly.

India should have been 1-0 up, but still, il take a drawn series (hopefully) over a loss. Team has shown good spirit and fight. Guess i'll have to wait another 2-3 years for the next saffers tour :(

1) Why is Shami not getting the ball at all ? He has been our best pacer , especially with the old ball ? 2) The strategy of going round the wicket, bowling many short deliveries, with leg slip, short leg, 2 men deep in the on side ..... was briefly tried against Smith , Amla, Petersen. Was working decently with Ishant and Shami bowling. Creating pressure. Why was it never tried later ?

Perhaps rather there is a much need for better and really sensible fans? Ridiculous OP and kneejerk reaction.

Articuno was easy to find. Seaform Islands ftw and then you make it faint and laugh forever and ever till you leave the Islands.

Yeah, and the only legendary before battling the Elite 4. Rare in the series though. 2 appearance, IIRC.

we need a captain who for a change can hold the bat and not rely on others in making runs.

What about better Indian bowlers? No one can ever make a Grade C- product become proper Grade A product. Can we find or develop those Grade B products which we are missing?

Yes why not... Whose responsibility it is to develop or groom better bowlers? Whose responsibility it is to give chance or demand for better bowlers from selectors? Whose responsibility it is to be known as a leader who grooms and backs talented bowlers? Whose responsibility it is to act above petty bias and personal fondness of certain set of bowlers or those who have contracts with his sports management firm? Instead of keep on blaming bowlers, showing over dependence on "batting only wins the matches on patta wickets", clashing with home ground curator on regular basis to get patta dustbowls which favours T20 natraj pose experimental spinners and line and length trundlers...how about spending some time to short list good fast bowlers and demanding from selectors to give them good exposure in international matches and making efforts to actually back them on field as a captain and not fret, make faces or showing displeasure, to let the new bowlers know "you are not wanted in my group of favourite players"...

nobody is expecting this team India to dominate SA that too on their home pitches, if someone did they are foolish. People are blaming Indian bowlers forgetting their tail added more than 150 runs and compare it to our tail which includes mr captain himself. Indians had a chance to bat out SA from this test by scoring 450 plus when last five wickets like nine pins with captain leading the way. If bowlers take wickets and batsmen score runs what is the captain there for, just to take kudos.

Our cricket captain is not choosen by a democratic process . He is not elected by our cricket fans. So , how is the performance of the captain affected by the quality of fans ? Even if they are unfair on Dhoni, if he is good in tests, he would do well. Waiting for that to happen though.
