Australia 4-1 up in the series!!!


So whom according to u was the person who lost it in this match. Kiski galti se India ko bhugatna pada? Initially Zaheer took clarks wicket. But I think then Zaheer and Sreesanth let the Aussie batsman play freely. They gave away too many loose deliveries which were put away for boundaries. The bowlers never looked like attacking or bowling wicket taking deliveries. They simply waited for the batsman to do a mistake. Ponting and Adam were able to put up a good platform for the middle order batsman specially with symonds in such a good nick.

This is has been a consistent problem with the Indian bowlers of not being able to put pressure on the Aussie batsman in the middle overs between 20 and 35. Austraila did not loose any wicket during that duration which surely was a big thing. And then the late down batsman with Symonds played brilliantly during the death overs to put 317 runs on the board. The fielding was below par at any sense with Rahul to lead. He along with sreesanth left some silly catches. Symonds drop was the most important turning point. Had he been taken India would have been enjoying a glass of champagne in the dressing room. But that was never to be.
This score was always an uphill task for the Indians. But with the best batting team on paper to come anything could have happened.
