Indian Cricket team in SA

One more lose. One more serise lose. As expected there was big indian batting flop show. Most irretating part is that they are playing Dinesh Karthik, what the hell, why do they need a extra keeper when there batting is already screwed up. Is this some kind of a experiment. They should be looking for some good batsman.

Zaheer bowled superbly, he has lost lot of weight, he got back his fire power. He should play for now consistently in the team (no experiments in this regard). Pathan seems to be finding his rythem, again a long way to go before he starts firing (hopefully before WC). I think the fighter kumble should be there in ODI's as well. Bhajji seems to be a lot more inconsistent now a days. Then you got Agarkar (real All rounder) who will always be there in the side no matter how pathetic his performance is. Then we need to choose between sreesant, munaf and RP. I think one should go for munaf rather than sreesanth.

As far as batting is concerened it is screwed big time. Not even a single batsman is in firing mode. Everyone is still warming up with the exception of SRT. Indian team missing the sehwag's starts and the reliable Yuvraj in middle order. Rahul is going through a real dry now a days. There is no need to talk about any other batsman with exception of may be dhoni. Dhoni played well and consistently as compared to some other batsmans.

Now there is a talk going arround that gaonguly will be recalled for test. I say make him captain, his aggresion might fire the team. India needs a motivating, aggressive captain in this situation, dravid just dont fit the bill in such circumstances.
