India is too predictable, and needs a big overhaul. Get a new captain for a start.

Dhoni should know that his players don't wake up from their sleep till 10.30am. He should have fielded first to give time to the players to wake up. India has got no opening bowlers Nehra, ishant, Praveen and M Patel are not of international standard. Nehra is indiciplined and gives away runs as no body's business. Ishant never takes any wickets. M Patel, what can one say has nothing to offer. P Kumar needs more coaching. Indian fielding is as if half of the team is dreaming and miss simplest of the catches. Dhoni had already decided within 15 minutes that India has lost the game then it was no surprise that they did lose. Captain is supposed to inspire his team to the last ball and not give up in 15 minutes. Indian team needs overhaul. Pakistan produces best bowlers from Punjab. Why not India use boys from Patiala and train them to bowl fast.

inida loses against australia beocoz in inidan team every player thik that he is able to become the captain there are 3 groups in indian team one sehwag group other ghambir group and the third one is yuvraj group sehwag group contains the players zahir irfan yusuf and munaf and ghamir group contains the players like ghamiter himself dravid raina jadeja and one two players more and the yuvraj group contains shri santh yuvraj ishant sharma ashish nehra and the harbhajan is also in ghambirs group the each party wanted that the captain will be their choice like ghambir sehwag and yuvraj thats why india loses they do not want Dhoni as captain more

We lost the series to a well-knit depleted Australian team clearly shows the how Australian select their team based on performances and not on regional basis but in India we do on the bases of Zonewise. For Indian condition, Irfan would have done better than Ishant and Munaf - but he was left out. Cricket is a team game but we cannot deny the fact that without individual's contribution partnership cannot be built upon. In 20 years Sachin has won many games and in Hyderbad too he took us near to victory but the tail enders have failed to get 18 runs with as many as 19 balls. It is a pity that we lose games because of the non-applicaton of batmanship among the team members. Hence, it is necessary to blame Sachin alone for the defeat. How about Sehwag, Gamdbhir and Yuvraj etc.,

Was his judgement so clouded that he opted to bat on a wet pitch? Did you see him miss easy chances and balls behind the stumps? Should the Indian players be breathlyzed before they are allowed to play?

Ya finally Experience matters ..sachin may be the highest run getter in Cricket but he cant play under pressure.Dravid is cricketer who loves to play in pressure if dravid would be there in 6th ODI India would make atleast 200 runs and dont know y Virat kohli not getting chance.many talented cricketers are knocking team door such as Manish pandey, Poojara,Nayar, Still dhoni wants to play with poor players such as Jadeja, Ishant.We need Dravid service atleast for a year till then youngers get some experience Dravid Showed his Form in Ranaji Trophy as well by hitting back to back Half centuries(97 & 56) so BCCI should consider dravid for nxt series.

Ind-Aus 5th ODI Recent statisticks, Analysis and by Dhoni's own admission BOWLING is India's Weakest Link. Then why not give bowlers the early advantage of the weather and pitch and depend upon the strong batting (so called) line up. Defies all logic and reasoniong....

The record of Tendulker as one of the greatest batsmen ever speaks itself. He creates his records while India creates another record. He personally wins while India collectively loose. He has not won one world cup for us. Not in 20 years. Hardly he won any series for us except few here and there. He cannot play in pressure. He goes out and make a century and the opposition knows very well how to get him out at the critical moment. Wasim Akram did, McGrath did, Saqlain did, Shane Warne did. They all know how to confuse him and get him out at the critical moment. No wonder, why the Cricket Experts have recently choosen Viv Richards with only 16 centuries to be the greatest ever one day player. He had scored when it matters. Imagine if he is playing today, he would have devasted the cricket world. Like I said, I don't feel anything watching Tendulker's century and Amitabh's movie. Nothing. As if this is the same stuff - quite boring.

The cricket lovers of India are unable to understand that without eight senior cricketers then how a second strength Australia Team is more then enough for star studded India? And how India allows the visitors to clinch the seven-match series by taking an unassailable 4-2 lead? The only answer though the Australia did not have players like Sachin Tendulkar and others Indian much hyped cricketers but they had plenty of match-winners, and make no difference whether they are second string Aussies cricketer or regular but they are honest triers and are more committed, who are hungry to perform. In a vernacular news paper in Kolkata, cricketer Ravi Shastri write that after Sachin%u2019s 175 runs in the Hydrabad ODI those who are criticized his batting should be put under the bar. May I ask Mr. Shastri barring his magical 175 and got a rough decision at Mohali, but what about the other knocks, was not a dis

I have the remedy for our Indian Cricket problems. Our Cricketers need to sing and dance with our bollywood stars, like a bunch of fairies, a little bit more. They are not getting involved enough in show business. Our Bollywood stars can give them a lot of tips on how to play better cricket. Cricketers need also to do a bit more modelling and make a few more Pepsi commercials.

such a low standard perfomance by india ausises really deserved this win they r no. 1 in world cricket i hope they kep their consistency going in same way next match india shouldhave to change their players

The BCCI is only interested in selling cricket and not promoting or improving cricket in our country. The great business guys are sure a success but the cricket in India suffers. See the the performance of a depleted Australian Team. We all dream of India being No.1 but it cannot come if we win here and there, there needs to be consistency. Team selection is still funny, are we still doing the zonal selection by representative from zones. I guess it is pretty much so, we do not have alrounders. Irfan needs to be nurtured and he can be a good guy, Rahul needs to be back unless he is told that sorry the door is closed for you. Congrats to Australia they are a great side, my team is not and it will not be until there are changes in the functioning of BCCI.

Overall summery of fifth oneday is we does not play/think/plan as team india.

There are a number of reasons that we lose in what has become a religion for us. It is the money, and everything is secondary. Playing for the country is way down the list. It starts with the Indian Cricket Board and our selectors. Has anyone seen the way 'have been' or people with no necessary motivation clamour to get on to these boards? The reason is MONEY. What is Pawar doing there? He is one of the richest politicians in the country Dalmiya - stuck on for years and eventually forced out? The selectors? A pathetic bunch. Come down to the players. Again money. There is no dearth of talent in the country, but it is not the deserving that get a chance to even carry test players kit. Take any game - out of over a billion people, where do we stand in world of sports. Smaller countries the size of HP can boast of more. Come again to the public. How many would listen to the commentary of a hockey match, the National atheletic games etc leave alone attending the events? Analyse it friends

Indian captain Mr MS Dhoni not to loose future hope, in any game, you loose some you win some. Keep up the good work. Naresh Sharma Canada.e

It was a terrible outing and people in Guwahati had to suffer watching a miserable performance from the Indians, after waiting for a match to be held there after a long time. One thing seemed clear from the drooping shoulders and dead-body language of the players. Either they are indifferent or far too tired to play. Especially, to see senior players to go through motions, without any passionate invovement, unlike the Aussies, was unbearable. All these are solveble. Bench them for a few matches and bring in some promissing youngsters. Either way it won't make no difference. We might end up losing after all.

Kudos to Australia !!! They taught INDIAN lesson of how to SNATCH victory in odds when your opponents are in complacence state. INDIANS never learn lessons, others taught. We can teach the lesson how to loss the series with experience players against inexperienced and injury hit team and then how caption and players give philosophical excuse shamelessly. SHAME ON YOU !!! INDIAN PLAYERS AND CAPTAIN. WE ARE NOT FIT FOR NO 1 TEAM. If experience or inexperience do not make too much difference in RESULTS OF Series then why our selectors are bang on more experience then performance.

We would like to make our cricket HEROES our advertising agents by allowing the media to potray them as very capable of all the people, my foot ! they are only capable of riding expensive cycles and cars and make money out of IPL.Its we the people, who give them all the importance and the truth is that they are milking us!Let small kids play cricket instead of this lot, at least we might stand a chance of winning a game.

For Want of a Nail For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. For that indiscreet shot of Sachin when Hyderabad ODI was in India's grasp,the series is lost.

Now again Dhoni & Co back to renaming their team as a so called "Paper tigers", nothing more. Sachin breaks his records, entire team getting huge perks, but no series wins, always continuing their bad habit of loosing at finals, so Still why BCCI is continuing this bad and ugly legacy of 1980 team of India till now? Unless until BCCI is not serious, this whole team make BCCI is like a joker and they'll enjoy late night parties and throgh big games, what a shame.

I had written in this column and predicted a 5-2 result in favor of India. Reason 1)Suresh Raina - no foot movement, depends on nudging ball behind the wicket and makes few runs 2)Judega simply over rated the way he ran himself out twice he should have been dropped 3)Praveen Kumar had been under rated for Indian pitches,4)Gambhir and Sehwag both were unfit yet no attempt was made to look for Robin Uthappa or Rohit Sharma. Jokers like Rajiv Shukla who never played first class cricket and from back door (Assam) could become vice president in BCCI, Niranjan Shah another one from Judeja's state are officials of BCCI what could be fate of Cricket? Has Sharad Pawar time to manage BCCI? He was busy negotiating deals with Congress. I am happy that ultimately Cricket will lose its Glamour and other sports will find more attention and this will for Good of the Country.

Dhoni & Co (except Sachin), enjoyed late night liquor parties in Hyderabad one of former minister's house and throwed Hyderabad match but fans has no sleeps, whether they're going to win or not in Guwahati oneday. But as usual, they throwed whole series here by Choosing batting in damp pitch. Dhoni & Co. following the foot steps of Kapil, Srikanth, Azhar, Vengi, Dravid's captaincy by throwing matches. Dhoni's first couple of years are ok, now he looks like he don't have any serious killer instinct to win the matches only due to fat pockets of prize money's, adv. sponsorships and so on, if it's going on how BCCI will get seriousness in the team? BCCI has to change the rules, if India win serious then they're entitled to win remaining 70% of remuneration, otherwise they've to satisfy 30%. Look at Cricket Australia putting seriousness in their team. Such a week team without Clark, Bracken, they won against strong batting line up India easily.

DHONI is most shameless captain India ever got.He must accept the defeat with inclusion of rahul dravid(as a player though not as captain) for stability of middle order of team which got collapsed at every crucial point.

Seems youve just been outplayed by our injury depleted team and its very satisfying as an aussie to see our young stars of the future soundly beating your stars of today. Aussies have a never say die attitude in sport and being weakened by injury just made the young replacements want to win even more. So an aussie club side has won your champions trophy and embarassed your ipl stars and now this series hammering to you as well. Aussies rule world cricket,enough said.

This all has happened because of IPL. After earning 500Cr rupees in first 5 years of his carrier how on earth. MS Dhoni will have appetite for playing and winning for India. Further it is worthy to note not even one player from IPL has come into the Indian side and proved himself. Look at this guy Jadeja, he is one the most overrated player. When he bats he will slow down the game, but play 50 delivery himself and then accumulate 30-35 runs and then there will be lot of pressure on the other batsmen to score so they would get out and then this idiot will play one shot and get out. Team will suffer not many would have scored well so this man will look good and media will create a hype around him. This is the best product we got from IPL.
