India's effigy sellers are licking their lips at the prospect of booming business as the national cricket team continue to struggle on a shambolic tour of Australia and fans back home lose patience with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men.

With India on the ropes in the second test, Dhoni and his team mates are coming in for stinging criticism back home. Full story...
