Time for a change

Indian team has lost to the second string English team and what is most disappointing is that the "masters of spin" succumed to spin - what an irony!

I have noticed over the years, even though the players have changed, teams have changed, the Indian team has an uncanny knack of making heavy weather of gettable targets. I have never seen an Indian in the recent past which has chased in the fourth innings and won a Test when chances were 50-50. We dont seem to have the mental resolve to grind through the tough periods and wait for the bad balls to dispatch them. Instead we lose patience and try out some extravagant drive or pull and gift the wicket in a platter.

The whole team could not score 100 in the last innings and it is really disappointing.

As in the corporate world where a company is only as good as its last quarter results, I believe that a player should be in the team only on merit of his recent performances and not on his past laurels. I would really like the selectors to take some hard decisions and I definitely want to see some heads roll.
