winning with 4 wickets is not a huge margin chasing such a total...
the number of days is not so important...if a match finished in 4 days it does not mean it was not well fought...a match ending in 3 days does not mean it is not well fought or could not have gone either way...
remember the mumbai test match against australia when dravid was captain? it ended in only 2 days and a few hours but still that test could also have gone either way even though we won finally...

Adelaide wicket had not been flat for the full length of test match.. The wicket started turning on 4th and 5th days.. It was bad selection, not picking up your No.1 Strike bowler and premium spinner, Ashwin..
However, Virat inspired India did great along with Murali Vijay.. So, no complaints..
In the 2nd test, it's not the batsmen who failed India but bad tactics in Aus 2nd innings.. The bowlers were ordered to pitch it short and continued to work with short stuff, despite it backfired and not ready with plan-B..
A 75 run lead coupled with 225 was good enough on a quickened Gabba wicket..
The analysis has to be logical instead of bias and emotions..
