Are you willing to watch India playing test cricket after Dhoni's retirement and Virat's take over?

[Vijy]

Then we should be pretty pleased with the results.

I'm quite pleased with the result when seen in isolation, since it was along expected lines. But, what I am not pleased is with the many chances squandered throughout - the poor bowling post-lunch yesterday and the lack of temperament shown today.

Give credit to Chandimal and move on. Brilliant knock to seal the deal for lankans. They played well and Indians were timid in their approach in the second innings

[Vijy]

Move on... to what? More Bhajji and Maggi fun? I'm all for it :two_thumbs_up:

[SaintEschaton]

I won't watch the next match unless we make a mid-series lineup change (is that even possible?)

[vayuu1]

Absolutely gutted,chewtiye of highest order, would beat both pandit,Mr anushka and flair, especially flair saawle bat ko hath lagaya to hath tod dunga, and darty too.

Sorry but how exactly has it been different? Same defensive captaincy like Dhoni with fielders on the boundary line for new Batsmen , Late declaration etc Aggressive cricket isn't talking to media lol

Going for a target in Australia when we could have easily settled for a draw is something aggressive. Choosing 5 bowlers to address our biggest weakness, that's aggressive. Believe it or not, Kohli is changing the dull brand of Cricket that India played so often under Dhoni's leadership. So far, Kohli has had ZERO luck going his way. Once fortunes change, even the critics will start applauding him.

Well after what happened in the first test, he can't be blamed for a slight defensive mind set. The important thing is we won today.

Agreed. He is still learning and will go places. We will not be playing for dull draws under him. I can already see increase in confidence and a sense of identity in our fast bowlers

Well after what happened in the first test' date=' he can't be blamed for a slight defensive mind set. The important thing is we won today.[/quote'] I am not blaming him either

[Vijy]

Captaincy showed definite improvement after 1st test.. still a long way to go.

late declaration? How? When you have time to get them out, why give them a chance to win?

we won comfortably. That's what matters. Lol

He he.. Not good to be proven wrong, isn't?

[rkt.india]

It wasn't a bad declaration at all. If you cant get them in 117 overs on a 5th day deteriorating SC pitch, forget winning then. 4-5 overs wouldn't have made much of a difference.
