No wonder test cricket is on its last legs - which other sport deprives you of the final hour of a potentially exciting climax. Test cricket treats its paying customers with utter contempt.

One series and in particular one innings doesn't provide good evidence that a player should be classified as a spinner! Sehwag is arguably better than raina at bowling, and even he isnt classified as a spinner, same was for yuvraj (despite him now being called an allrounder as he actually made a decent contribution with his bowling to say the very least).

I am feeling disgusting..Dhoni is no different than Dravid who could have won the 2006 series with WI 4-0 and then in Eng 2-0....like someone said one word to describe this India time "Pussy"

I guess the basic assumption of many is that 80 of 15 is the same in every format .... Test cricket is not dying, whats dying is probably the ability to understand test cricket

I think it is the go safe mentality of VVS and Dravid. would the same have happened if Dhoni and Kohli were present?
That is fault of team management. I wonder if it was communicated to them. Also, to some extent Dhoni probably read it wrong. The way Dravid played is his style. Everybody knows it. Dhoni knew what he was getting by sending in Dravid. If Dhoni wanted to win, he should have promoted himself and Raina. Again, I am not saying that Dravid and Laxman are not guilty. But I think that it is more to do with team management and captain.
