A Fresh Start for Team India

The Test Series is done and dusted with India losing its number-one ranking. No bones about it but India was outplayed in all departments by England. The Enforcer - Stuart Broad and Ian Bell with his great knocks ensured that whenever India had a slight edge, the edge would blunt and rust.

India won all three of its practice matches courtesy some good knocks by the young ones in the team.

The single T:20 tomorrow may swing either way. With the list of injured players in the Indian team going up like the price of gold in the international market it needs to be seen how the team manages to perform in the ODIs.

Varun Aaron India's fastest bowler comes in with a lot of hype, not sure how much pace he will generate. Praveen Kumar and Vinay Kumar together with R.Ashwin hold the key.

Let us see how the matches progress.

Wake-up call for DHoni & Co

A familiar sight of the team crumbling and Sachin waging a lone battle. Indian bowlers being hammered all around the park the last two test matched in England have been like a rude flashback from the 1990s.

Unless some drastic measures are taken and a few 'made it large' players are dropped, there is no hope for victory.

Assuming Viru is back for the next test, expecting him to fire right away will be foolish.

Let us see what happens!
