India went into the 3rd test against England with 5 bowlers.
In my opinion we should go in with 9 bowlers,Dhoni and Dravid.
And change the name of the team to 'D'.
I remember Sachin saying a few years back that he doesn't mind getting out playing an attacking shot. The present Sachin gets out playing defensive pokes ( not even shots ) at balls wide outside the off stump. Sachin needs to sort out in his mind the approach he is going to take before he resumes his cricket. Maybe even an Azhar style attacking game (remember Lance Klusener getting it from Azha in Eden Gardens???) could work. Atleast i'd like to see that :-)
This Indian team seems to frustrate you in many ways but in the end, we seem to be winning. So am i being too critical here?
One thing is for sure. This is a team that doesn't say die. Sreesanth and 'old man' Kumble fighting it out as i write.
*******
India all out and in the span of 15 overs, India has already grassed one. Simplest of catches according to Prem Panicker.
Anyways... look out for an Aviator clad dyuude roaming around town.

That 'Old Man' comment from Nasser was really interesting. When 20 + guys grass simple chances, this 35 year old dives to his wrong side and pouches a Kevin Petersen catch and falls on his knees in not-a-great-completion but still holds on to the ball.
I seriusly believe if any other spinner can replace him in another couple of years unless the Selectors ( includes GC) think otherwise. If he goes on and on, then it would be tough for the likes of Piyush Chawla and Amit Mishra. I purposefully forget Sairaj Bahutule here as we are looking to the 'future'.
You are right, Kichaa...And I think that the Indian thinkthank got it right today...I see a better batting line up with Pathan opening and Kumble coming one down (meaning no disrespect to Wall - who is beyond comparisions b/w mortals).
And ya - beware of Aviator (chotta) clad dyuudes!
