Steyn is right, theres a thin line between being brave and foolhardy, kumble's decision certainly shows the latter quality.
Im not saying this in the hindsight to what happened, but because the curator had clearly mentioned that the pitch will favour the pacers for the first 2 days before being good for batting on day 3/4 and then break down to favour the spinners by the last day.
Having said that, nobody would have expected the batting line-up to fold for 76!! which is pathetic to say the least.
Where was > with all his expertise on pacy tracks??
