Well BCCI didn't or couldn't heed the warning calls of 0-8. Just like Australia were pretty mediocre until recently after the retirements of McGrath, Warne, Hayden, Langer, Gillespie and Gilchrist...India are in a rebuilding phase. Sehfag is past his prime. Even on flat home tracks he will be a shadow of what he once was, overseas he'll be a sitting duck. Can Pujara and Kohli and Rahane hold up like their illustrious predecessors? It remains to be seen. Zaheer is past his prime, Bhajji is the bowling version of Sehfag, Ishant is Shahadat more or less, Yadav will have to be healthy and control his line and length. Ashwin and Ojha are good, but maybe Swann and Panesar showed them they have a long ways to go.
