It looks like the Indian team has completely lost the momentum and self belief of winning any test match in Australia.I thought this was the best oppurtunity for us to win a test series in Australia which we have not managed to do ever since we attained test status.It would be good on part of the players to salvage something out of the remainder test matches and prove to the world that we still have some fight left in our stomach.
I have watched Smith playing in all the 3 tests in patches... even a school kid would tell, that he is very cautious about deliveries straight to stumps.. If one sees the boundaries he scored they are almost on wayward deliveries or fully pitched or which are not coming on to stumps..
Also his movement towards Off-stump, indicates he would like to play mostly towards leg-side..
Best thing he did was playing with straight bat and not taking any chance when ball is close to off-stump or on off-stump... We should appreciate him for his assessment of capability of our bowlers..
If not getting him out, at least Indian bowlers could have easily contained the run-rate, which wen amok once they crossed.. Believe they jus wait for batsmen to commit mistakes, especially in case of Smith..
