India are in serious trouble, and it's going to take more than Sachin's magic to turn things around for them, writes Barry Richards in The Hindu.
The players seem almost resigned to the fact that it is all too tough, and appear to be waiting for easier pickups later in the year. No one, not even Sachin, has that competitive aura, that defiant glare that can put bowlers on the back foot. Senior players are your core strength when the going gets tough and you need, as a unit, to be committed to working together to blunt South Africa's arsenal.
It is because we, as a people, get our priorities wrong that the men and women we elect get theirs wrong, writes Nirmal Shekar after Indian politicians debated the Durban drubbing.
