Sachin, Ganguly, Laxman, Sehwag, Dravid should stop acting like know all superstars and start working on the forgotten basics to tackle the spinners. It helps to start working with a clean slate rather than working on assumptions of your own super capabilities.
Sehwag should switch from the 20-20 or 50 over hitout mentality. Dravid should act naturally rather than trying to be super cautious to save his place in the side.
Put your style in the drawer and rather concentrate on technique.
Otherwise there are more such humiliating losses to face up to!!

No one is talking about our poor balling. It was simply below average lacking any kind of sting. Fielding added insult to injury. All in all it was a forgettable show, no one except Laxman showed any kind of guts. Sachins and Dravids may get the form back what will happen if we bowl and field in so lacklustre manner. Indian attack today is really shortage of talent. We need some youngster with raw talent like Mendis to come in fore

Attack is the best form of defence.Dravid et al should stop playing Mendis & Murali with leaden feet like Aussies & the English.Instead, they should play with plenty of freedom of footwork like Gambhir.When our guys rise up to the challenge and look to attack,Murli & Mendis shouldn't know where to pitch the ball.If you tend to play over cautiously, forgetting your natural, attacking game, you will be doomed. That said, mark my words, Murali & Mendis are going to take the Srilankans to the top of the test ranking, as they are perfectly capable of inflicting larger margins of defeat to teams like Aus., SA, England etc., who would have no clue for the duo.Indians can take comfort with the fact that they had fared better against them vis-vis other test teams.

Ajay Kumar you have made a Balnket comment In here. Basically Mendis is simply a diffrent type of bowler and I am sure Fab 4 will read him next test
