Its difficult to understand why Indian team cannot be consistent. Just one match earlier they have notched up unbelieavable runs & here they couldnt manage a 3 figure mark in first innnings. The match was almost lost there itself. I would say these guys need someone who can work on the mental frame & make them optimistic & not to be over confident.

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

More than mental frame,it is about hard work.Indian team should have been practicing before the second test but they were busy with their IPL promotion.How can anyone win after that?
