yea,,afetr India was thrashed in the first test by 350 odd runs and was humiliated in the second test , Kumble got a great opportunity to diplomatically shift the focus away from the team%uFFFDs pathetic defeats on umpiring issues, aussie behaviour and racial agenda of Bhajji. He should have come back home, now he is doing a great mistake by staying back which will humiliate our team when we lose 4-0 and also the one day series.. Agreed that India were affected by worst umpiring decisions but still i feel that we were in the driver%uFFFDs seat at the end of the third day on a spinning, wearing track with two spinners but Kumble and Bhajji were totally ineffective against a magnificient Hayden and also a part time spinner Clarke takes 3 wickets in 5 ballls to humiliate us.. So we have no excuses for two heavy defeats.. Kumble had a great chance to save his face but he has lost it

no one expected india todo wonders at austrlaia. Whjat can Kumble do all alone when two good young players like yuvi and dhoni just dont take game seriously and assured of their place in team. He himself showed the application on final day. Why cannt the batting maestro and players like Dravid, sourav stand firmly and guide team to victory. After all this was aussies most inexp. attack of last 15 years. wickets of clark was a tukka, the main spinner hoigg did not bag a single wicket in 2nd inning

Selectors are are scared of the senior batsmen club. It is all in the team, the selection was improper. The second test team was little better, but we could have a better order selection had they given chance to Rohit or Raina in the previous 3 series. They kept in trying Kathik, Yuvi, Utthapa. Atleast with pace, they gave chance to VRV and Pankaj in 3 day match. As said earlier, Selectors are are scared of the senior batsmen club.
