No. India needs another Ganguly, who knows how to lead and relies less on personal relations and blind instincts.
no need. We can do with some good players who actually have some technique

I don't think people hate Tendulkar so much as they hate the overtop adulation he recieves from some.

Their is nothing over the the top when its come to Tendulkar... But you wont understand that. You got to pick up his innings in 90s and how our rest of team used to perform at the time to understand Indian psyche
Ponting, Amla and KP?Could watch Lara and Sachin bat all day in Tests. I can't say that about any one else I have seen. Except for maybe Clarke atm. End of an era.
Problem with Kohli is he doesnt know that it is test cricket. He will try to score on every opportunity and will throw away some soft dissmissal.
not again please...lets leave the poor man alone...had enough criticism
Ponting, Amla and KP?
What a gun bowler. 'Short bursts is a stupid tactic' lol and he has taken 3 top order wickets.
Ponting, Amla and KP?
:4
BUT this Henriques looks just the kind of bowler that usually gets Tendulkar in trouble. Lack of pace, neither pacer nor spinner.![]()
Sehwag and Vijay.... Getting Pujara out is an accomplishment to be proud of thoughHe is really something if he can stay fit. Anyone on PP want to call him overrated now? First time in India, bowling on a moon pitch and he has 123 out.

Whatever mate. Everyone is no good according to you go watch rugby or the Hobbit. Leave the cricket for people who like cricket.

I don't think any informed fans underestimate how good some of the Aussie bowlers are. The reasons England fans think we'll beat you are because Hussey retired and because your guys are always getting injured. Nothing to do with a decline in raw quality.
Also Pietersen and Yousuf for me.
But to be fair to you I don't see any players in their early 20s coming through of a similar ilk. Disappointing.
You mean players like Sir Jadeja? Or Murali Vijay? or bowlers like Bhajji who has done nothing in recent past except participating in a dance show, host a wrestling show, record a song etc.
Or perhaps play a bowler like B Kumar on a flat/dry surface, who bowls at 130's and whose main weapon is swing, over your best spinner Ojha, who has been the lone warrior for India in the past?
I am sorry but technique can do a zilch if your leader/management acts like politician, and players are selected based on everything but merit.
I have been critical of Ganguly as a player. But admired his leadership, which is so very important in today's age.
But again, each to his own.
Watson not gonna bowl,he gets good reverse swing

7000 test runs at Home now for Sachin.
Just for the haters, he's scored more away and at a better average probably.
The pitch looks very scary, we really will have to play very very well to survive.![]()
Pujara.No. India needs another Ganguly, who knows how to lead and relies less on personal relations and blind instincts.
I think this series will be his last one, unless he wants one more go at the SAs.At 40 Tendu is still one of our best players. Hats off. Hopefully he will take this form into the series and when we tour abroad.
You can't tell him to retire if he's scoring runs....Retire already man. Two decades if this guy.......
Pujara.
Pujara is a player I see him being the best batsmen in the world in a few years, he seems to be a good thinker I can see him thriving with the responsibility of captaincy.India has a few Pujara's and a few decent bowlers under domestic circuit. The problem is that they'll never make it to the national stage, because there's a pool of certain player's who are in the reckoning most of the time, irrespective of their performance.
What's dodgy is that a chunk of that pool is friend's with the Captain.
Has he been getting some good bounce? A short ball barrage wouldn't be a bad idea if he isStarc needs to bowl a few more of his deadly yorkers.
Would be interesting to see him play in SA, he's one batsmen I think will be able to handle Steyn and Philander.Pujara is not what he's hyped up to be actually, on Indian tracks many of our domestic bullies will impress you on certain days. Dont see him doing great outside India.

looks like a draw this one, unless pitch really breaks up
Looks like playing 4 seamers is backfiring, England did the same and lost the first game. Maybe throw the ball to Warner?Aussies can only hope that Indian batsmen play some loose shots here.
Australia a quality spinner , at least one would have made a lot of difference here.
