Dhoni actually isn't that bad either, he's getting BACK into form. And he is most of the time reliable at that 5th-6th position.shortpitched713 said:Dhoni.

Dude... you really think that with Munaf, Dravid, Yuvraj, and atleast 2 of the 4 tosses going our way, a 2-2 series wasn't possible?Anil said:rrrright!!! that was the reason we lost! ...and all this while i was wondering why! blind optimism is one thing but...c'mon there's a limit man....

No, 4-0 series was still going to happen. You can make that argument if the matches were close, but losing the way we did, it was going to be 4-0 even if we had 100 overs to bat. Considering we only managed to bat through the full 50 overs only once.Turbinator said:

Ah well so much for Chappell being the one to bring in the professionlism to the team crap.... Chappell's happy to just suck the money out of BCCI and do nothing. I don't expect Chappell to go out bat for india but if he can't even get his players to do a proper warmup than i don't know what is he getting paid for, it shows how good his man-managment skills are. Chappell doesn't seem to give a toss really.Goughy said:

Dunno, have you ever seen the Indian team do proper warmups? Under anyone?R_D said:
We just have an unprofessional attitude.

Goughy, is it still only R100 to get in to an ODI? I remember being given a ticket at the gates when NZ toured because they were going so cheap 
Its only a fw months ago that i was praising the indian cricket team for its attitude! They were winning and looked very active! Has everything changed so dramatically since? I thought that the chemistry amongst the players was excellet as well! Suddenly, there seems to be a lot of politics.....What has happened to India?
they have been exposed on pitches that offer some help to pace bowlers...simple as that...i don't think there is a lot of politics within the team(it's all been outside with the moronic mps crapping all over parliament as usual and the bcci making their usual knee-jerk reactions)...at least not so far...with the advent of ganguly, that too will probably start to happen....Nishant said:

And they were able to produce results too because of that... I cannot stress enough that the work ethic is more of a problem for the men in blue than anything else!

Looks like India will play Pathan and Harbhajan and leave out Gambhir for the four-day warm-up starting later today. Bad move IMO, they shouldn't even be considering playing five bowlers right now. There's no way Harbhajan will play over Kumble so that's a waste of a spot as well. Batting is the issue and Sehwag and Jaffer need a kick up the ass.
