No amount of injury, availability, not enough practice excuses can justify this. It has to be the form of players and that department is lacking in bowling and batting.<br />First off, Tendulkar should have played WI and should have gotten the 100th hundred monkey off his back. Its very obvious its playing on his mind. 10 times he is been out recently in the 80s and 90s.<br />Secondly, Kohli needs to show off less temper and show more application while batting. This guy now has it all, selector, captain, nation backing him and he should justify the confidence. <br />Third, Dhoni needs to put his mind back to cricket. Nobody asked him to play IPL. Its obvious that part of his lack of enthusiasm is too much cricket, however neutral his statements may sound. He is burnt out, mentally that is. He needs to take 6 months off.<br />Fourth, Ashwin should not become over confident. He needs to re-think his bowling strategies as Aussies have figured him out. Plus for god-sakes, stop bowling short.<br />Fifth, Dravid and Lax, am sorry but time to retire. If you can't do better here in Aus, then its a sign. Even if they salvage some pride in Perth and Adelaide, still time for them to go.<br />Sixth, Sehwag - its pointless to say anything. I just hope he gets more responsible thats all.<br /><br />Good that we are trying Rohit, but it would be baptism by fire for him at Perth. He is our best bet in terms of talent compared to the big 3. Hasn't justified so far.<br />Bring Pujara, I feel he has the big Test match patience game in him. Technique too.<br />Bring PK, even if half fit. We will atleast have a 50% Hilfenhaus in our team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
