Sorry to say but match looks like fixed.
Who can predict such a thriller and a neck to neck draw? Unpredictability is the main cause to believe in fixing.

put yourself in the same situation and see what you would have done!

Sure Ashwin was wrong in his comments, however, he was the one who brought us that close.... easy to sit in an arm-chair and criticise!

His last statement sums it all! The match should have been won comfortably. Ashwin thought he is one of the great strategist in the middle while the situation would have just called for a little bit of aggression. Even a high school kid would have won the match for India from where Ashwin was in the last over. You cant win if there is no spirit and passion to win. This is very similar to what Ravi Shastri did in one of the tied tests two decades ago, when he let Manindar singh face 4 deliveries after tying the test. Safety is fine but is foolish when winning is there for taking.. India missed a golden opportunity of a whitewash thanks to Ashwin..
