It has become habitual for Indian bowlers to go through the top order only to find themselves without any ideas when resistance builds up among the tail. The fast bowlers of most other countries bowl straight the stumps or yorkers or fast rising deliveries at the body with a cluster of fielders around to unnerve the tailenders. Our bowlers, for reasons best known to them and their coaches, never attack the stumps. They are content bowling just outside the offstump to get edges. How many of them bowl yorkers? When Mendis was batting Ishant rarely bowled a yorker! Mithun should address his delivery action to get more pace. He looks a good bowler and couple of yards of pace would see him develop into an useful Test bowler.
The full Indian team should be given Bharat Ratna, the way they allowed Sri Lanka to escape after having them on the mat at 77/7. This is the difference between an average team like India and a champion team like Australia. Australia would have kept squeezing Sri Lanka at 77/7 and bowled them out for 90. Now India could very much lose the test. How many times have we seen this situation before? Many times! This happens only in India. We have the God, the Wall, the Saint, the Nawab of Nazafgarh etc etc. and what not but together we are just a bunch of jokers !!! Give the whole d@amn team Bharat Ratna immediately. They fully deserve it.

what the team needs is a bowling coach like waqar/wasim to teach our boys how to bowl yorkers to atleast tailenders.........

I could'nt agree more....India has always been like this..We depend more on destiny rather than ability.Inconsistent play is our forte.....
Tomorrow Ishant will play inning of his life in the company of great maestro Sachin to take India further in the path of victory. He may take the role of Ajanta Mendis to score a half century for his team.
This series Rahul's fans have been quiet and have stopped bashing Sachin. To me both these guys are great but Rahul's fans targetting Sachin are silent now for the last 4 or 5 tests the way he has played.

Rahul Vs Sachin! This is bloody imagination of some brainless people who do not know how noble the game of cricket is and how great those two veteran players are. There were times when Ganguly fans unnecessorily targetted Dravid for his ouster from captaincy just because selectors named Dravid as captain replacing Saurav. Now because Dravid is struggling with his form he is being criticised. It is totally the fault of selectors to drop him from one dayer squad which left him very little match practice whereas Sachin is lucky to be named as member for both categories. No other teams in the world dropped their senior most cricketer from one day squad but in India great player like Dravid is dropped from the side and players like Yusuf Pathan and Dinesh Karthik were included in ODI! No doubt India is losing in ODIs to weaker teams.
