It's dreadful, to see a team that has collective experience of 400 tests has opened a debate now on the ability of indian batsmen to tackle spin.
With in 4 days, 19 indian batsmen fail to 2 spinners. This is really shame!!
I just got a feeling that this indian team is very much in 20-20/ODI mood, the way some of the batsmen got out, they deserved to be punished!!
Having said that, indians need to come out the 1st test debacle, now the next match at GALLE, this ground has always supported both pace/spin bowlers. If india wins the toss, they need to bowl first.
Ishant sharma will be key bowler @ GALLE, india must play with 3 spinners ??
We need to skip dravid/VVS at the cost of 1 bowler, if 6 batsmen can't get you a safe score, no need to have 7th batsman in team?? that's why i feel it's not a balanced side. Dhoni gives that balance in the side, as a wicket keeper bastman..

I don't see our bowlers experimenting their skills/deliveries(slower/bouncers)/use of crease(wide/back), especially in test matches, otherwise the batsmen will get used to bowling quickly, & start scoring at faster rate..
