I don't understand this...u expect us to always praise the team, no matter what? When they play badly we have every right to criticise them, like we commend them when they play well. This notion of just being there for the praise and not for the brickbats is surprising, and wrong.
So they had a bad day at the office for a day, happens to everybody...but why not criticise them?
...but all said and done, we expected a better performance from a team expecting to be the top team in the world, on any wicket. We expected to see some resolve and tenacity, which the team has not shonw in this Test. But I am sure the team will bounce back fast. Unfortunately this will need a lot of hard work in the 2nd innings. Best of luck to the team, Regards, SSM
