India will gain valuable experience for the world cups on the ground where they are supposed to play. It would immensly help them to prepare for the world cup. I feel india will win the test and ODI series.

This is unfortunate decision by Indian Cricket Team Management, however, positive part we are not playing with Sachin, Ganguly, Pathan, Agarkar and current Indian team is controlling the match and we may win. We have more option now in the indian team, that is good for indian cricket.

No because they are not but there is no denying that they are pretty much unbeatable at home.  I believe that Australia are the only team to win a test series against india in india.\n\nAustralia are probably still the best team in the world, India, Pakistan and England are good but not good enough.  The Windies are out of it at the moment but I'm sure they will come back.

ahem YES....and to the person who feels India does not win each and every match, that's impossible for any team. Besides the only matches which India have lost in recent past have been ones which they lost because of experimenting with players. the matches they lost to England, srilanka and Pakistan were all experiments. heck i don't even know why were they trying to experiment with the first match in Dubai. their form can be reflected that they were pretty even with south Africa and broke their streak at a time when they were experimenting with a bunch of youngsters and saurav ganguli was creating a lot of rift from outside.

It has to be -- India vs Australia at Eden Gardens in Calcutta on 11th March 2001 --- This is one of the only 3 matches in the history of Test Cricket where a team which was made to follow-on won the match and by far with a great margin of 171 Runs! The earlier 2 matches( 1895 & 1981 Series) were won by England also against Australia with a margin of 10 and 18 runs respectively. In this match though... India was completely outplayed by Australia in their first innigs ( Aus 445 ) and then was bowled out for 171 and made to follow on where India with a mammoth partnership from Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman scored 657/7 and declared their innings and bowled out Australia for 212 in their second innings winning the match by 171 runs!\n\nOne more thing which makes this match a stand out one is.. The World Champions Australia were looking for their remarkable 17th Successive Test Match Victory and almost looked as if they had it until this great turn around happened...and it required such a match to stop Australia's winning streak!

ICC is definitely unjust to Indian team. Similar instances took place in the past also. Hope people remember the episode which happened in South Africa 5 years ago when Shewag was banned from playing a test match for excessive appealing.  Similar ban was Given for Sourav Ganguly on various occasions. But such a thing is never heard for Australian or English players. Still Cricket keep the Colonial traditions were Indians are considered inferior to others. BCCI should react strongly to such incidents and show ICC a lesson. Without  Indian money , how can they survive? They should remember that Test matches in India are still played in front of full galleries. Who can except such a situation in England, West indies or New zealand?

South Africa scored 274 runs in 50 overs.  India could manage only 168 runs in 41.3 overs and lost the match by 106 runs.  India have now lost 2-0  in the series

expectations. You think India are one of the best sides in the world.. they are not.\n\nThey have no balance, a good batting lineup on its day, and no bowling to speak off.\n\nThe players are too flashy, they are too hit or miss.. they either spark and score 300, or don't and get 91. Only Dravid is capable of batting in an ODI match. Who else to India have that can bat? rather than Smash a cricket ball.\n\nLook at Australia - Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, even Symonds (the heart of the Australia order) can bat out 50 overs if needed, or really run up the score, smash to all parts if they need 350.\n\nIndia can't. Once they got into some trouble they folded. No one fought, I did not see the match, but I am guessing that poor shots were played all around, and no one fought for their wicket, they gave it away.
