I had said earlier to that Yuvi-Raina-Dhoni if this three plays together India are bound to struggle against quality attacks on seaming/spinning conditions. They got away in Australia when they played on flat tracks against Aus-C team. But Even SL-D team is enough for Dhoni's team on bowler friendly wickets.
Dhoni always have someone or something to blame or excuse for the failure.
This time it was pitch.
What was the problem if the wicket was so called ENGLISH ?
How Sri Lankan players are accustomed to play on that then?
Before the match, Dhoni was praising his batting line up that how it bats deep & how experienced his batsmen are & how the batting line up has depth & bats till no.8.
Ironically, as it turned out to be, Ashwin the no.8 scored the maximum no. of runs in the entire batting line up.
What is the greatness of Indian batting line up if they are going to display their SO CALLED great performances with the bat & pile on the mountains of runs & creates the personal milestones ON BATTING FRIENDLY PLACID OR PATA PITCHES WITH NO GRASS, NO SWING OR BOUNCE ? Australian pitches, this time uncharacteristically, were batting paradise with TRUE & EVEN BOUNCE, WITH NO SWING OR PACE where Indian batsmen just had to play on the front-foot, which they are used to on Indian pitches for years, as the bounce was even true but the moment they got even slight tinge of grass on the surface & bowl started to do the talking with uneven bounce & movement after it pitched started to hurried on to the batsmen, our PAPER TIGERS completely surrendered as they were absolutely clueless about how to go at it, they were caught in two minds whether to play on front or back & many times beaten for pace as the bowl was skidding on the pitch & hurried on
Hardik Pandya is really pathetic,it would have been better if selectors had included Irfan Pathan,he can bowl much better than Pandya and even contribute with bat.
