A "couple" of things? Let's see what we WERE missing: 1) One opener - Dhawan's 20s and an occasional 50 mean nothing. 2) A solid No.3 who scored big 3) A No. 6 who could bowl, or at least BAT. 4) A keeper-batsman capable of making more than 20s. 5) Not one, but FOUR wicket-taking bowlers. If we had all these, we could have won against them.

That's a damn bad excuse
Not when there is one that is available, and can be used. That said and I'll say it again, I am far from convinced on Hawkeye projection ball path. Everything else is fine, I am halrdly convinced on the last part. It was hardly a howler!

Are you saying that just because of DRS is available, on field umpires have zero responsibility? 12-2. That says a lot, dude. But, well there's a system to get it done correct...

I think DRS should be used. Even if it is not always accurate, as long as the success rate is better than umpires...its usage has merit. That being said....umpires today don't follow some golden rules of umpiring. -- The benefit of doubt goes to the batsman. -- Don't give lbws easily if the ball hits the batsman a long distance away from the stumps...because it may deviate or bounce higher than the stumps. This is increasing the howlers...like the one Rahane got today. It really is inexcusably poor umpiring because of the above reasons.

County teams will vie to get Kohli, he should take an extended county stint, so he can do well in next England tour, the one place where he needs to change his abysmal Test series' numbers.

These have technical problems not attitude or work ethic related problems aaron has played,chawla has played even pujara.There is hardly any time anyways.

you people need to keep in mind that to qualify for visa you need to play x amount of international cricket. Rahul, Mooli (who has been released from DD i think), Rahane , Che (again i think has been released) Kohli can all play for their county teams.

and i think its become a lot harder in general for south asian players to get into the counties. As a result of the south african kolpaks etc the vacancies are limited at best. So it might be best to send India A in for a full tour.

You, my friend, need some professional help. Little pessimism is understandable given India's current form but you take the pessimism to a whole new level.
