Indian spinners are still Ok, but batsmen really need to step up now .

Even young guys aren't working. Sarfaraz has just one good inning, Jaiswal at group all these are T20 guys, not at all Test temperament

Younger guys should be consistent like it used to be in early 2000...but they can still be excused, they still clicked in patches...

But seniors just drew a blank 📜

Whitewash whobhi in Ind. what a shame for Ind team

From India's perspective, a lot of questions will be raised. They've suffered collapses in all the six innings and they've been outplayed by New Zealand in all the facets of the game. Can they recover from this embarrassing loss quickly? The Border–Gavaskar Trophy will commence on November 22 and India have an uphill task ahead of them to make it to the WTC final. They have to win 5-0 or 4-0 in Australia not to depend on other results. SA (69.4%) or SL (69.2%) and NZ (64.3%) can pip India even if they win 4-1 (they will get to 64.0%). Six teams are still in the hunt to make it to the final.

Contrary to popular opinion, 23-25 WTC should not be our goal right now. Making a good test team is more important. It may take a while, but we need to get there. We were runners up in previous WTC finals. Let us leave it at that.

With the same team and same mind set, we are not going to achieve some thing different in Australia. If something different happens I will be more than happy, but, I am not keeping my hopes up.

Skill matters, practice matters and age matters. If we concentrate on them, we will eventually get there.

Cheers..
