Bcoz we seldom play as a team"...look at the body language on the field..High time to do away with Test matches..boring & we r not used it & played like 1 dayers & lost..Pls retire all the seniors & stop endorsements for youngsters till they prove..ha ha India never consistent since Independence..
Our Jumbo (Kumble) got 0 out of 6 wickets. Murali got 11 out of 20 wickets. He is on 746 wickets totally. When he gets to 747, he will be the real JUMBO JET.
I remember Dravid, saying "Its foolish only to concentrate on MENDIS". Mendis was the one who got Dravid in the both the innings.. SPEAK LESS ACT MORE.. Don't say things which comes from your mind.. keep cool and try winning this game.. then Every Indian will believe that Indian Cricketers have the guts.. Rohit sharma, suresh Raina can be a better half, who have their form.. And by the way, why do they think this as an TEST MATCH.. SAY THEM TO THINK as a ONE DAY or 20 - 20..

dravid is a player who is good to gv preity good comments from commentory box like sunil gav, shastri,etc.
new talents like rohit sharma,suresh raina should be given chance in place of ganguly and dravid.zaheer khan should play only in ranjee trophy.there should be combination of young talents with experience of sachin,then team will perform well.
1st Learn from the master how to play. He was the only one who played mendis without any diffculty. seconed sack Rahul,Sourav,VVS as they good for nothing nor with bat nor in field. Yuvi atleast would be able to bat n bowl. also sack Zaks giving runs like he is playing a 50 over match and says we need to be aggressive.

I agree, Sachin played Mendis without any difficulty. But Laxman still play 1-2 year more. Dravid and Ganguly should be retire.
to be frank the players are playing OK...but the thing is they cannot play/pick mendis currently. They need I guess some matches to pick his variations of his hand. The problem India faced with is as they cannot read mendis they try to to score some runs of Murali coz even if they play too defensively ...both Murali and Mendis will bowl all day long. So they are left with no option but to play some risky shots against Murali...but Murali is no mug and not really easy to score of in any format..so they failed. Unless out batsmen and computer experts/coach find some trick to cope with mendis I guess the problems will persist. The biggest problem against mendis is they cannot play with frontfoot coming to pitch of the ball stuff..as bowls little quicker than a conventional spinner means that less time and batsman dont know which way the ball is going and he is pretty accurate as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
