i think it was poor preparation,no focus,over confidence,not learning from mistakes.people talked about 600 runs they scored in chennai,but important thing was they lost 9 wickets for 160 odd runs.did they really discussed this issue?doesn't seems to me,if it was then middle order could have batted much better in first innings.just comparing the lack of application with perth test on similar sort of wickets and this,things r worst for india at this time
