it is a known fact that tailenders generally come unstuck while facing upto spin with close catchers and try to charge the bowler and get out.,with johnson coming in at a deficit of 160 runs Ashwin should have been bowling at him and ,the fast bowlers should have him forcing outside the off stump more often.Short pitch as a strategy is fine only once in a couple of overs.Pathetic captaincy and this rigidity in not thinking positive to wrest initiative is causing India dear always.
Not proactive enogh. When that short ball strategy failed he should have asked his bowlers to bowl line and length. Sorry to say Dhoni does not deserve a place in Test team let alone being captain. CSK fans will not agree though
It will be extremely difficult for India to save this match. In first test australia need less than one session take 8 wickets of India. In 2nd test 1st innings they took 6 wickets in one session. There is no way India can survive 2 days or 6 sessions.
