Continuing my Expected debacle..... I am absolutely furious about the treatment meted out to the likes of Dinesh Kartik,Parthiv patel( who can get into the team on his batting ability alone)ec. who have proved teir fighting spirit and abilities time and again for India. If we have to be a world betaing side, we must have the guts to take tough decisions. It is enough cricket for the likes of Dravid, Laxman Etc. Even Harbhajan is very ordinary & Murli Karthik at best ( in mumbai cricket language) a Popat bowler.Kumble is definitely over the hill & it is extrely unfair to expect the kind of workload reqired for winning tests. Dhoni's batting abilities are being reletlessly exposed and we sould accept that he must remain a hitter rather than a grafter.His career will be in jeopardy, if continues in this vein. Lets get some solid young bats and blood them. Let us not blood them in foreign tours!( like what we did with Dinesh kartik, where the poor man manfully performed) and a few bad innings in India & he does not get his place in the team!Let us get Yuvraj in the thick of action & let him perform or perish. Let us acept we hae lost this test, sack kirsten, get back Rajput or Shastri & get on with it. let the match fees be 'performance linked' I am not impresed with Chawla the other leggie. we need to really hunt for disciplined and talented bowlers. Not the likes of Sreesanth or RPSinghs, who do not look like ' lambe race ke Ghode'. I am disappointed to say the least.
