Unless our batsmen get into Test mode and grind it out, they will face their doom against these two. Test batting requires a different mind-set. Having said that, we notice that our batsmen tend to extremes. Either they go slam-bang and throw their wickets away with silly shots OR they get into such an ultra defensive mind-set (Dravid scoring 10 runs in 100 balls) that it kills the game. They need to strike the right balance. Guys like Gambhir, once set, should not throw away their wicket. The senior pros should bring in their experience and not set wrong example by playing brainlessly, to either extreme. Bowlers need to get their act together fast. Kumble and Bhajji failed miserably while their counterparts took 19 wickets on the same strip. The faster guys should bowl to a plan. If they don't get their basics right, they may as well come home and roost. Anyway, wish Team India all the best.
