I think India's woes are based around a lack of strength in depth. They have about 8 top notch test cricketers but the trouble is most are over 30, only two are bowlers, only one is a seamer and he makes Twatto look like he's been carved out of granite.Well I still think India are one of the best sides in the world, but I don't need this match to tell me that a team with the fast bowling attack of Ishant, Sreesant and Earthworm Jim can't be the number one ranked side.
That does happen when you only have two bowlers.SA would be mortified if it didn't win after dominating the early part of the match so well. Their bowling has fallen away, as has their fielding.
Without actually knowing for sure, I think it's fair to say that they have pretty good batting depth. Kohli and Pujara look seriously good backup. Mishra and Kartik are too pretty good spinners to have so far down the pecking order that they're completely out of the system, too.I think India's woes are based around a lack of strength in depth.

Kartik is their best spinner should be playing.Without actually knowing for sure, I think it's fair to say that they have pretty good batting depth. Kohli and Pujara look seriously good backup.

Their problem is obviously their fast bowling - the fitness of Zaheer, the consistency of Sreesanth/Sharma and the quality of every other fast bowler they've tried are all massive issues. I don't think depth in batting or spin stocks are problems for them though.
Please explain?We've never had better batting depth. Ever.
Inclined to agree; we won't have many allies on the matter though.Kartik is their best spinner should be playing.
