As the test series is over and the trophy was shared.Well played both the teams.Now here are the suggestions and improvements for indian team in tests. More comments welcome.
LAXMAN AND GANGULY
Both of them must be axed for the next test series against whichever country, and kaif and yuvraj can be brought in. They must be told in no uncertain terms that past doesnt count and they have to deliver on consistent basis.Not just making 50's once in a while.If ganguly cant be kicked out , he has to be atleast rested for 2 series and play in domestic competition till he gets his form and confidence back.Laxman can be unceremoniusly dropped unless he scores consistently against all teams.
TENDULKAR
Though he has achieved lot of milestones, he better be told by selectors that he should learn to play under pressure. Otherwise its as good as having another x,y, z in team who can make 30's and 40's and contribute 0's when put under pressure.Alternate option is to keep sachin out of atleast one test series till he changes his mindset.
PATHAN
I see another zaheer khan in him. Overhyped bowler. Unless i see him getting couple of 5 wicket hauls from him against good teams , he is as good as zaheer khan to me.Anyway time is still there for pathan.
HARBHAJAN
Should be told to improve his performance on consistent basis or else get dropped.
