The young Indian team is hungrier, that’s all. The one 3 years ago was just living on past glories and a World Cup high.

Shikhar Dhawan may or may not be a test level batsman, Ravindra Jadeja surely is not. Still 4 out 6 is decent. Lack of batsmen has never been a problem, there are a few more decent ones playing at the FC level who can probably replace those 2 in the next 1-2 years.
Bowling continues to be a problem overseas, I’m not sure there are any better bowlers at present. The team complicates it by not playing Ashwin (he’s better than Jadeja or Binny on present form). India’s first innings effort is going to look pretty sad once England reach 450-500 sometime tomorrow.

In reply to Steve.

Shikhar has a bit of flair, and can be exciting to watch if it’s his day. I don’t mind them giving him another match to make his case. If not there is Gambhir in the reserves, but I fear for his wafting outside off with an open faced bat. There is an opener for Karnataka, KL Rahul, who looks a good prospect, and I’d be surprised if their one-down, Karun Nair, doesn’t get a go at test cricket.

Our real problem as always, is that we don’t have the bowling to win test matches.
