India have not scored 300 runs against any opponent recently save during the second Test I think against the WI. What a shame!!!!!!!!!11

please note that West Indies will be in England in Sept and it could be more of the same.
If WI are the same then it'd be more justifiable that a 8th ranked team received such a tonking as opposed to the no1 ranked team , don't you think?
Agreed! However, licks is licks though, it doesn't matter how you skin it :)

A rot hs set in so quickly in Indias rise. incredible.

2 things I see may be responsible: Indias core is aging...and Dhoni may not be as good a leader as we imagined.
I suspect wen things are going fine Dhoni can show off. since things have turned down he has not appeared so able. and early he tended to blame his players.

I suspect at the end of this tour India will be seriously reviewing its team leadership

England lead by 358 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Maps ...What you mean Dhoni showing off? Who did he blame? I highly doubt India will change leadership.
