  • Forfeit the rest of the series and send these clowns home to do some coaching and practice to hopefully pick up the basics of the game before leaving for England.

    • True, they rotate out players in form and bring in duds, would be better to call up our under 21 squad to play.

      And what is Watson doing still getting a game, the only thing this series are shown is we have found 2 better all rounders than that over rated, unfit, deodorant advertiser whose got one good score and besides that isn't impacted games because he's a good bowler 1st and batsmen second.

    • most of the time you learn more from the lost than the win.Let us give credits and hats off to young Indian batsmen and bowlers as well their balanced behaviors on the field as well in front of media after the victory.

  • Where's Ricky Ponting and Mikey Hussey when you need them ? Pull them out of retirement please !!!!! Selector's head should roll as they are d...! Coaches get the sack if their teams don't win in soccer or NBA. What about cricket ? Selectors have got it wrong the last two years with rotations. See you later, you had your chances !!!

  • make a statement by dropping all of Warner, Hughes, Cowan, Watson. play 7 bowlers and Smith, Wade, Clarke and Khawaja. that way the message might get thru. we couldn't do any worse, anyway. Khawaja and Wade to open.

    by the way, losing 2-0 in India is pretty par for the course for Australia. bad loss, but we've had them before...

  • This is one of the worst performances I have ever seen from an Australian Team. We started the second innings with both Warner and Hughes getting bowled behind their pads by balls which hardly turned. Really ordinary batting from both. In my opinion there are a number of problems. Firstly we are playing 5 batsman as Wade isnt good enough to bat at 6. Secondly other than Clarke we do not have batsman who can score runs in all conditions. You need a sound technique to do this and our first 4 batsman dont have good techniques which will stand up all around the world. I lament that Michael Klinger will never play test cricket. He should have as he has the right technique to succeed at the highest level and has been a heavy scorer at first class level for many years. Also im sorry but why can't we get a former Australian player who has bled for the country to be our coach instead of someone who has coached another country. Darren Lehmann should be coach. He has been successful as a coach and will restore pride in the baggy green. Finally STOP GIVING OUT BAGGY GREENS TO ANYONE AND EVERY ONE. It is a disgrace. Make players sweat and toil for a baggy green and produce consistent performances for their state . I am sick in the guts after today WE ROLLED OVER
