It's pretty clear that they thought they could just run over England with rank turners. Even when they got thrashed in Australia, I remember Gambhir said something along the lines of, "let them come to India and play on raging turners" and Sehwag saying "we beat Australia 2-0 at home"After 8 straight losses they still didn't get it. They were still in denial.The problem is not in the pitches, it's the players that are effing up. India has gone to places such as England and Australia before and performed well. So conditions should not be the excuse. They should take a hard look at themselves and start realizing that they have work to do. Stop making lame excuses and get to work!

Ind 90/2 at lunch..... Monty gets Pujara and Shehwag is runout.....lol

Confident GG and a shaky SRT batting....

How can a man who scored 100 100s and **** load of runs look as if he is batting for the first time? Honestly, I don't get it. Even in his prime he looked very nervous early in his innings. Why? Yes every player feels that shakyness early on, but he takes it to the next level. He is a such a chokedulkar no-clutch player.

tendulkar needs to take a page out of ponting's book, give it up while your legacy is still in tact.

GG gone.....Ind 117/3 .... Tendul crawling his innings through...

BANFAN · #**131** December 5, 2012, 02:01 AM

India's most talented batsman KOHLi comes in ....

Dilscoop · #**132** December 5, 2012, 02:22 AM

VK is outta touch. It's boring to watch him now.

Gowza · #**133** December 5, 2012, 02:38 AM

kohli needs to find some form, imo he still hasn't cemented his spot in the test side, though i expect he'll get a decent run due to his ODI exploits.

BANFAN · #**134** December 5, 2012, 02:45 AM

Kooli is outttt....for 6 by Anderson .....

Swann to Yuvraj Singh, no run, around the wicket, forward just outside off, is this pad first? Another big lbw shout, not out given, another that England probably would have reviewed
So a lack of DRS pays off for the BCCI! England will feel aggrieved...

No DRS paying off....

Gowza · #**136** December 5, 2012, 04:11 AM

yuvraj gone for 32, they keep picking him but he hasn't come through for them....

India 215/5. and omg SRT already on 67*!! Unlike tendul-worshpiers I know this is very unwanted thing for meny when tendu leaves the ground with 101st 100. damn.. sbns should be his last.

Gowza · #**138** December 5, 2012, 04:39 AM

tendu out, got some runs at least.

cricheart · #**139** December 5, 2012, 04:39 AM

OUT!! LOL
Anderson to Tendulkar, OUT, edged and what a catch! What a take down low with one hand and straight after drinks Tendulkar falls

Tiger Manc · #**140** December 5, 2012, 05:40 AM

Ashwin out. India in trouble on day 1 on what is supposed to be a good batting track.

Dilscoop · #**141** December 5, 2012, 05:41 AM

Jimmy on a dead pitch, awesome figures! I think people can stop doubting about his inability to bowl on Subcon pitches (at least for now)

Yameen · #**142** December 5, 2012, 07:05 AM

Thats Sachin's place in the team confirmed for the next two series

BANFAN · #**143** December 5, 2012, 08:07 AM

So, Sachin missed out on the century....

cricheart · #**144** December 5, 2012, 12:50 PM

Highly famed Indians batters like Shewag, Koly, Pujaraa are gonna be culprit here for series loss. Some unexpected fluke innings like Gambu SRT are just to survive the humiliation.
