What an insipid captaincy by 2 times world cup winner MS Dhoni. He just let the tailenders score easy runs through indifferent field settings when 9 down. Last 2 wickets scoring 75 runs with Pattinson getting 32 not out. The fields were spread out, there was no aggression, there were no attempts made to grab those 2 wickets. There were very less yorkers, the captain had lost it.
Not a very good sign when you are looking to win the first test match of an away tour. Something which has been the Achilles heel in the past and is haunting now too. Not a good sign when you want to regain the lost no 1 ranking.
Ashvin was the culprit, MS was bigger one and the biggest the fielders who let easy runs, allowed 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and even the tail enders ran 4 runs.
Attribute it to MS Dhoni's questionable tactics.
292 to win.
Key players : all batsmen.
For morning session it seemed the Australian team has got 2 captains --MSD and Michael Clarke. Thanks to Laxman who sent back Hilfenhaus to end the innings.
