India's historic problem with mopping up tails

I sure wish we had Yadav in the team' date='this series would have much worse for the aussies.[/quote'] :agree:

there is no way that siddle would have made 2 50's with Yadav or even someone like awana ( for arguments sake) in the team...

Its not about pacers. Indian spinners who have got Aussie top order out cheaply should also have got Siddle or Starc out easily. Its more of a mindset thing than anything else. You could see Indian bowlers getting frustrated the more the tailenders stuck around and rotated the strike. They didnt bowl to them just like they bowl to top order batsmen. Of course, you have to give credit to Siddle, Starc etc. Low order batsmen are no mug with the bat these days.

Tail enders these days are good in batting.

Think it is partly to do with the fitness of our bowlers.. they get tired by the time tailenders arrive
