scoring 32 (with so many edged fours) in 2nd innings is not an achievement. It may be the highest for India's inngs but it was not good enough. All batsmen are to be blamed for the poor show.

if it was the other way round you would still say the same...

if he was the lowest run getter from both the innings you will still say we should blame other batsmen...

Mr Sunil Vaidya. Even if he scores a century and india loses you blame him saying whenever he scores we lose. i remember when he scored his 50th test century and we lost against SA he was the only one who was blamed saying his 50th century was for a loosing cause, guy plays for his records blah blah. somehow i feel good as he dint score century in this match otherwise you would have blamed only him for this loss.

not always...but this was best oppurtunity in our second innings..and team having sehwag gambhir sachin dravid laxman should have got the runs easily...that it. Why bank on these guys?..on his day even parthiv can score 60 odd..we dont need tendulkar for that...his presence is required in vital times and he consistently fails.

Who is going to score those big runs in Aus ?
by harish hemachandran on Dec 29, 2011 02:21 PM  | Hide replies

Facts and Figures:

1) Dhoni is yet to record a century outside the sub-continent
2) Gambhir is yet to record a century outside sub-continent and NZ.
3) Sehwag is yet to score a single 100 score in 2011 and avg jus 29.5
4) Sachin is having a quiet 2011 with an avg of 47,25 with jus one century against SA in Jan'11.
5) Dravid had a great 2011.

None of them can score if they do not apply to the fast bowlers' line and length. Dhoni mentioned that it was full credit to Aussie bowlers. Aussie bowlers will continue to bowl this way in the remaining 3 matches. It's up to our batsmen to show their mettle. I am a Big Fan of the Big 3. But if the Big 3 do not live up to their high standards, then they should retire for India's sake and let someone else fill the places. Every team goes through such phases. Australia has been struggling for some time. But now they have a new crop of bowlers.

time is running out for the big 3. Aussies might come with another green top at Sydney. Wish our batting can neutralize pattinson and siddle.

How can dhoni defend his batsmen after this big blunder ?
If you see the target of 292 its always gettable with the batting line up you have!!!!!!
No doubt the bowlers in both innings failed to wipe out the tail enders but a target of 292 is not that hard to get specially with the “strongest batting line up in the world” ?

please request aussies to allow sachin score his 100 ton. Let the man retire for gods sake..dravid and laxman are already on extension. It will be very interesting to see indians playing more cricket then...they will bat for two innings for 3 and half days and give chance to opposition to bat only for 1 day.
