Mahendra Singh Dhoni said: "We will have to wait and watch (if there are changes). Our next Test series is only in September, there is plenty of time, we don't want to take decisions quickly,"

Mahendra Singh Dhoni said: "They have played consistent cricket. Whenever a partnership was needed, their batsmen stepped up and put par-plus runs on the board. Their bowlers were also consistent. They always stepped up when needed," "There comes a phase in Australia when once you are set it is difficult for bowlers. That is when you have to be consistent with line and length. They (Australia) never gave us boundaries easily,"

Peter Siddle insisted: "The batting has been lovely. We have stuck to having bowling partnerships every Test. My bowling length has improved, there is consistency,"

Despite the flopshow of India's senior batsmen in the Test series loss to Australia, MS Dhoni insisted that decisions on their future would not be taken in haste....

Quotes in this article

Virender Sehwag explained: "I don't think [changes] are due because the same team played in the last couple of years when we became the number one team in the world with the same batting and bowling line-up," "When we won the World Cup everyone was happy and cheering for Team India, and now the time we need the support of the fans and everybody, they should back their own team. "If you look at the Australian team, they were struggling as well in the Ashes last year and they got out for 47 in South Africa, so it happens with every team. "There are experienced players in our team - one bad series doesn't make any difference for them, so they are working hard on their batting skills and they'll find a way"
