indians were not at all willin 2 play out initial 15-20 mins. see sehwag!!thought he was in a hurry 2 finish the test on his own!!only sachin gambhir n laxman played 2 some extent which was like a drop in the ocean.these seniors should take full responsibility 4 the huge loss....
India only needs to win the toss somehow, bat first and get 500 on board. That should do the trick. Also kick out Ishant sharma who has been letting the team down for long now. In fairness this is his first big season. Maybe he ll be better off if rested for a while. Munaf should be in. And we should start looking past Tendu, Gangu and dravid, preferrably in the same order.
ya! definetly indian players have potential to face these spiners. the biggest prob. is that in past years indian players had to faced only world no. 1 spinner murali. but starting the srilankan tour indian players forget about the murali. and they was thinking about the new and influenced young spinner of srilankan team mendis. bcz he did well in asia cup. so indian players was totally busy to make strategy against mendis. so we can'nt say that indian players have'nt got potential to face these spiners. indian has do well in srilanka before past years. and i hope they once again will do well. and will win the series. and one more thing u know that indian are no. 1 of facing the spiners. but i think they like to play in pressure. so every time they lossed first match. and i hope they definetly will come out positively.

you people always crtisise MS DHONI.but u see all senior players what they done.but u cans ee the young ODI team will thrash the same srilankan team in ODI series
These senior players have made a caucus, not allowing anyone to enter in the team.
They are very cunning as they do NOT participate in Domestic Competitions, thereby AVOID COMPARISON WITH UPCOMING PLAYERS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY (for them) AND FORTUNATELY (for Indian Cricket) THEY HAVE BEEN FULLY EXPOSED IN IPL WHEN PITTED AGAINST NEW PLAYERS.
By The Way, Kumble is the leader of this senior players as in past on many occasions he has been deputed as representative of senior players on various issues with BCCI

due to seniors we atleast managed to score more than 100 in each innings, if it would have been all youngeters team, we would have lost in 3rd day itself

sehwag is OK.he was unlucky in 2dn innings. he has to last atleast 50 balls to begin with.
