Indian batsmen have proved time and again that they can not play on bouncy wickets especially in 2nd innings. Take Tendulkar or ganguly.... I hardly remember their any non-subcontinent 2nd inning performances.... Sometimes I think had cricket been flexile like other team games.. we actually could have asked sachin to sit out for 2nd inning... Just for Team sake....what u say buddy?

I do accept Tendulkar has lower average in 2nd Innings compared to the first Innings.But i am sure 42.62 average in 2nd innings is not at all bad. He may not be super human when it comes to 2nd Innings. But 42.62 average in second innings is far better compared to many batsman in the world. Only gavaskar and dravid from India have better average than sachin in 2nd innings. Ricky pointing average is also 48.92 in 2nd innings compared to 59.40 in first innings. There is no use of being harsh on tendulkar everytime India fails. Tendulkar is a part of Indian team. He alone is not India. Everyone in the team needs to contribute. Come on guys this is team game not individual games.
