The last 2 games they were near 100 after 25 overs but ended up near 300 after 50. Wonder how they might have done with Sehwag, Gambhir and Tendulkar for the first 3 batsmen.

Quoted for lulz in the morning.
Why though???
I can only see the BCCI being the ones at fault.
Sure, the England team were on fire, but still, you're telling me a country of ONE BILLION people could only produce this pathetic team of **** stains?
Well **** me in the bum and call me Susy.

Yeah totally screwed up, they rely on the top players too much. Just look at the bowlers....
Probably around 750 million+ living in sand pits and slums doesn't help

Sand ****ers
But seriously, it is a sad state of affairs and truely ebarrasing.
Will the BCCI give a ****? No.
It's okay, they won a thing called a World Cup I think without retarded people picking up injuries
They'll just learn from this probs..

Which is what I've been trying to tell you. The BCCI is the corrupt organisation in this. Nearly every move it makes is supposed to be detrimental to Indian cricket, and yet most times the team has come out and still retained its quality.
I think that you misundersand India's socio-economic situation.

There were injuries. Praveen Kumar was ruled out of the tournament, that's why Sreesanth played instead of him. Nehra was ruled out of the final, so again Sreesanth took his place.
They'll learn nothing from this. It will just be business as usual for the team

Weird. I was reading through the cricket world cup thread. God I miss the world cup, seems so long ago now.
Oh
Was an exaggerated guess, look at the above posts

Looks like the BCCI won't be doing anything about the performance in England

It doesn't matter if 2 or 3 players are injured. There is no way that a team can turn up, occupying the world number one spot, and give such a terrible performance. The board and Dhoni can dress it up any way that they like, but they were WOEFUL in the tests. It disgusts me as a fan that they performed this way, and that they are willing to brush it under the carpet. Nobs.

Right, its all down to a hectic schedule apparently.
We saw at the WC what a hectic schedule does to a team (Okay, Eng aint the best ODI team anyway but still) and even their performances showed fight and determination.
Something lacking from this Indian side by the bucket load.

I have to disagree mate. No one's saying that it's down to a hectic schedule. It has been suggested in the past by cricket pundits and analysts that the Indian cricket team plays too much cricket. However the BCCI has always defended the amount of cricket played by the national team, and I agree with them. 3-4 tours a year is not too much cricket. If anything, I think the IPL is the only thing that is consuming too much time.
I remember in the world cup thread I compared the schdule for England and India in the run up to the world cup, and I found that India had played more cricket that England. However, I really don't think that the amount of cricket played by England was significant in their world cup performance, and the amount of cricket played by india was not significant in their awful test series (bar maybe Zaheer and Sehwag, who'd played little cricket before turning up).
The thing that's lacking from the Indian side, which I've said all along is the EFFORT. They're too lazy.
Let's not forget, before this tour, India was the best test team in the world, and ODI champions. They DESERVED to be there. Now England tops tests, and DESRVES it too. No matter how bad this series has been, it has been a single terrible test series. India's test performance in Australia will determine whether this was a dodgy tour or whether they need to rethink the test structure.
