What's the use? No point in scoring 50s or 100s when it does not serve any meaning to save or win a test match.Even Amit Mishra scored 84.WHat is the problem for others to score runs?

so ur foolish comment means that dravid played for his records? idiots, first understand that when a person plays well and the team still loses, it is the 10 duffers who have to be blamed and not the person who played well.

england relies heavily on mistiming and misjudgement of indian batsmen to outswingers on high pace and rising balls to give snicks or get hit on stumps by odd inswinger or incutter.
Angrez batting has practiced it against angrez bowling so not suseptible to such tactics. Swann relied heavily on player missing his high speed spin with angle in to hit wicket or give snick. He also rubs into the umpire by agression to gain LBWs.
Again, both spinners and pacers rely heavily on mistiming and misjudgement of indian batting.

angrez have EPL and many players from ODI-T20 play EPL.INDIA did not have program to be number 1 for test.
good cop and bad cop umpiring assisted by dubious DRS replays.

if Simon Taufel acted as good cop for indian gullible like tendulkar and civil like dravid, the umpire Tucker promptly gave LBW out on Tendulkar the very next over. this good cop and bad cop tactics lasted all series.
concession for Ishant by DRS was too late and they knew he wont last long.So indians were fools wheter flicking to outgoing swing balls (all along) or rising balls, Or by DRS or by poisen laced with sweet advise from angrez like boycott, chappel ,etc. Or due to bad selection or due to gangs in India XI team or due to fitness issue or not having program to be number one with best indian ex-players like kapil dev, kumble, etc. leading that program. The program that encompasses best equipment, fitness.
OVERALL, indian spirit is weak in comparison to Americans who rose to make their own games like baseball, American football, baskeball, etc. to free themselve of angrez clutches. Later angrez came back through texas but american games were established by then.

He has played test early in this year and his still holding on to the number 1. Such is the performance. Same goes with Dale Steyn. Overall SA has played less matches compared to England and India. Interesting to know
