The day belonged to astute captaincy by Anil Kumble. His master stroke to bring Ganguly into attack with new ball paid well. Dinesh Kartik failed once again. He has not been getting runs, neither in ODI, nor in T20. He has track record of being successful as an opener in Tests; that seems to be long long ago. In the next test he is required to be replaced with Gammbhir.

I think Kartik needs to be dropped and Yuvi to play. Maybe Dravid can open, he almost did that in this Test match

Please check the records before givng any comment.Karthik is most successful openner for India with an ave.of 48 runs this Year.If a person fails in one match doesn't mean he should be dropped.
Why these prejudices and criticisms for senior players. Is not enough that India has played well. We must appreciate their efforts but no we search for defects and mistakes. Why? And mind you there is no alternative for Experience. We are a balanced side now with youth and experience complimenting each other so well. All of you are ChakDe India fans but ignore its teachings - "Mujhe kisi state ka naam sunaiyee nahin deta,bas ek naam sunaiyee deta hai, I N D I A" is what coach Kabir Khan said, Remember?We've loved Sachin-Saurav-Dravid, then why this division.For me they all belong to me, irrespective of that I'm a Sachin Tendulkar fan. Please think about it.

Hey Gupt fan,
Have you even read the National Anthem? It is a no-brainer, straight praise of the Queen of England. As usual like everything else our nation uses it as our "National Anthem". Such things can happen only in our India. Why the name India itself is not our own. Now before readers think I'm abusing our country, no I'm NOT, please, read the bangla version of the anthem and see for yourself.

or they returned the favour in your own coin and returned the hit?!!! "One swallow does not make a summer" and a few accidental performances by that Bangla Babu do not impress.

i think these people want indian cricket team to be property of their grandfather, so a catain from bengal was absolutely unacceptable to them, and they want to get rid of him now at any cost
