With the exit poll results and the discussions here.

Yes, and exit poll and the discussion here were based on facts (dev, governance, security, water, power, etc.); and those doesn't come without effort - and so, the credit needs to be given to the government.
What would you think an unexpected (but required) thing about elections would be? There can not be sudden changes without indications, we know that the INC has done lot bad and should be kicked at least at quite a few places.

That is true, the kind of development he did, he should be winning.

The same what was happeining till now in India where everything else was a factor in election other than development. Be it relegion, caste, money, muscle power and even family, all of these were steps on which people were winning elections.

And you think that all the places where you have an alternative government are not doing bad.

I agree
As an Indian fan who's been disappointed with the team selection, I have a cynical feeling of happiness at this defeat.

Things aren't going to improve as long as we insist on only past glory as the yard stick for selection.

We may still have lost if we chose younger players but they'd be young enough to learn from those defeats and improve in future. I can't believe the selectors don't consider this.

Precisely my thoughts!
But what can you expect from an organisation that is only looking at the bottom line? Make no mistake, BCCI is not a sports body - they are a corporate body.

If you were given tasked with selecting the Indian test team, who would you choose? I haven't been following domestic cricket much (except some Tamilnadu players)..

Same here! But I can't imagine there aren't good players in domestic cricket.

OK... who from the current team would you drop then?
I suspect "about half of them" would be your response...

Well, the most obvious candidates would be Tendular and Dhoni (keeping and batting has significantly gone down).
Here are the series batting averages for India :
Player Mat Runs Ave 100 50
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CA Pujara 4 438 87.6 2 0
R Ashwin 4 243 60.75 0 2
G Gambhir 4 251 41.83 0 2
V Sehwag 4 253 36.14 1 0
MS Dhoni 4 191 31.83 0 2
V Kohli 4 188 31.33 1 0
SR Tendulkar 4 112 18.66 0 1
RA Jadeja 1 12 12 0 0
PP Ojha 4 12 6 0 0
I Sharma 2 12 6 0 0
PP Chawla 1 1 1 0 0
Kohli did not do well, but he's young and has proven his talent, so I'd keep him. I'd warn Sehwag and put him on trial for the next series - if he fails, I'd tell him that he'd be dropped at the end of the series.

Oh good, this means you think that Zaheer and Harbhajan have been dropped for good

What about Yuvraj?
