I went though all the messages and am surprised and disappointed that no one dares to ask the most important question. Why is it that Sachin didn't farm the strike when he was partnering with tailenders (specially RP Singh and I Sharma.) Had he done that I'm absolutely certain we could have played lot more overs on day three and thereby put a little more pressure on Australia. Same could be said with Anil Kumble in the second innings. He should have played the 71st and 72nd overs instead of exposing the tail. Look, the Umpires let us down and cost us a WIN in this test, but it is our players attitudes that got us a defeat. As long as we don't hold them responsible and accountable, we will continue to get these results. I would like to see what others think about this too.
