This kind of request at the eleventh hour betrays panic by the Indian team management. As if they did not know that this kind of mauling by the Aussies was going to happen. What were the BCCI and Mr.Wright doing for the last several monthts? Were they sleeping? This is nothing but incompetence. The last thing the Indian team needs in this type of situation is a panic attack. The Indian seam attack seems to be missing the guidance of Srinath already.
this is an absolute act of stupidity from the indian cricket team .no way indians have a chance of beating the aussies on their home turf unless they learn the art of mental toughness and tenacity like the aussies .see in the 2nd test match against zimbabwe it was Ray price , the slow left arm bowler who did the damage by picking up 6 wickets .we left our best left arm slow bowler back here though he had troubled almost all the australian batsmen . instead of seeking a left arm bowler's help they would be better off in seeking Murali karthik's help at least to win one test match .rdgs
