Finally we lost it. Our pride of being invincible at home was shattered by the English.I would like to congratulate England for this massive achievement, something they had not done in last 28 years. They fought hard, and now they are enjoying the fruits of their hard work.
The better team won. Everything looked perfect for India after the first test in Ahmedabad. It is easy to pinpoint mistakes. But , i personally think England played better cricket than us. I would rather praise England than to blame India.Some of the tactics of MSD were puzzling ones in this test especially the way India approached their innings on fourth morning. They should have accelerated in the overs they played. And then they declared 4 runs short which doesn't make sense to me.
I personally think many players in the indian squad either do not want to play test cricket or they do not enjoy playing it. Their fitness level is far from required for five days play. They look better for 4 overs. And regarding Sachin Tendulkar, i am upset too like millions of fans with the way he is getting out. But, i will still say he is good enough for continuing cricket. At least he did not throw his wicket away like most others did, rather he fell to some very good balls.
Now, coming ahead is T20 series against England. And i am looking forward to it.
