Sorry but apart from Virat, i didnt see any change of attitude. No one was ready to stay on the crease for longer duration. They succumbed under spin pressure rather than fast bowling. Virat was right in saying that we didnt went for draw. I would like to remind him that there arent any players in current Indian team who can stay for whole day and force draw. Everybody wants to wrap up quickly

Well said and rightly so. Cannot agree with this article. A change of attitude comes from playing sensible cricket and take the fight down to the wire, not in playing recklessly and throwing away your wicket at crucial moments. After Rohit's dismissal, India should have closed shop and played out the overs, they would still have won the praise of everyone for making a fight of it till it was within their capacity. More importantly they would have gone to Brisbane on an even keel with the Aussies.

barring Virat and KOHLI others have not applied themselves while batting when such a solid foundation was laid down for the third wicket. Rahane was unfortunately given out. BUT Rohit and Raha shoud have stayed to support Virat
