In the current scenario i wish to point out my frustration (while watching the game on TV) with what was going on towards the end on the Indian 1st innings. For atleast 5 overs Sachin was taking a single off the 1st ball & then watched at the other end the tail taking on the remainder of the overs. If only he had farmed the strike for those overs, like any other well-set top order batsmen normally does, India wouldn't have lost the test. Atleast you have mentioned this in passing, but why doesn't anyone point this out to Tendulkar that he has a job to do for the team, not just himself. He failed badly, despite his 154*.
