India is fool to believe that their batsmen can win matches. we have pathetic bowling attack. we win test matches only in helpful conditions(like kanpur) or by fluke .

That's true. But the seniors must be made to retire if at all India has to perform well in future.

very true said..... like kumble told once (when he has claimed 10 wickets) that he want to carry the firozshah kotla pitch along with him, whereever he goes..... Indian players can play on such pitch only....

I think You guys should watching test match first. If Yuvraj , Dhonoi etc played in test , India could do 50 in first innings and 100 in second innings against Murali and Menids. Ganguly, Laxman, Tendular , Dravid are best playesr against spin in the world. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can play 20-20. but every one can't play Test crciket. For God Sake Your Cicket Illiterates stop wtaching Test Cricket.
Any how Indians will lose with Kumble,sachin,dravid,ganguly it is high time to retire when they are performing. BCCI should give chance to young players.
If you look at the last five years its clearly noticable that Indian batsmen have been playing pace bowlers well.They failed against all the unorthodox spinners let it be Panesar,Brad hogg,Warne,murali and the latest one is Ajantha Mendis.Whats happening to the skills of Sachins & Dravids.They must have knew better that Srilankans have also got one computer analyst in their ranks.We are supposed to be the best players of spin bowling,we can't allow a rookie demon like figure to demolish us.What a shame !If u seniors are geting afraid of a newcomer then let our newcomers to face the challenge.Its make or break time for India on every front let it be national politics,terrorism,economy,hockey,cricket,olympics...so i request u all 32 players not to let Our country down in Lanka.

one day has taken toll on indian batsman no patience at all. they need to frustrate spinners through solid and firm defensive game like kallis does
