Just watched Warners after match interview, will ruffle a few feathers.

To be honest the media in India over hypes these players resulting in over inflated ego's. India need to prepare better wickets at home so that they improve away from home. Im beginning to think the term "flat track bullies" is apt for them at the moment.

They are not bullies anywhere now; will be like this for the next couple of years at least till the team rebuilds.

What did he say?

[bigboy]

Just spoke honestly about the state of Indian cricket in his eyes, no PC at all, was a good interview in my eyes but I doubt the hardcore Indian fans will be to pleased. he just told it how it was.

Fair enough.

BCCI and Indian team need a shock treatment!!

Just think of some of the talented youngsters like Ashwin, Kohli, Rohit Sharma etc.

I would not mind India loosing whilst playing the youngsters, but with all respect for their talent and contributions to Indian and world cricket, I think VVS, RSD and ST should be rested.

What is the criterion for granting test status - having test match standard venues or team?

It should be both not either as India is long way from a strong test team.

With this form my 1st team will be happy to play a pre-season warm-up with the Indian team.

I blame the BCCI more than the team. They should start rethinking their strategy for test cricket. More common sense scheduling is required.

We need to play Bangladesh and Zimbabwe a few times now, that too at home and maybe we will win a couple of games.

With this test loss India will have the dubious distinction of having lost the most number of test matches overseas on a trot.

i dont rate Ashwin, i think he a limited over bowler, bowls too quick and too flat the times when ive seen him play. what has murali kartik done wrong. Ojha is another for me who should be ahead in the queue

[kaustav]

Murali Karthik is a grand-dad now.

Ojha is okay.

No decent spinners in the horizon unfortunately.

He is still doing the business and spinners can go on for ever.

all of a sudden even the indian fanboys are kicking up (comments section):-

All through england and australia they've been deluding themselves but it seems to have kicked off big time now.

I read one comment from a lunatic suggesting India shouldn't tour Aus/Eng/Sa because of the green hard wickets.

The fact is that Asian batsmen are not accustomed to bounce and lateral movement. They need to address this imo.
