They batted brilliantly or We bowled poorly?

We laid out the foundation for their brilliant batting.

They attacked this bowling and Indian team had no answers. Nothing new, they have struggled like this before.

very similar to this test - http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/766929.html

 

Anderson, Broad and Jordan could not force a result either.. 

 

not absolving our bowlers of all the blame though.

Razzaq and Akmal were class batsmen. Chase and Dowrich may be debutants but every good player makes his name by playing innings like these.

Razzaq wasnt gr8 in test , he was a great in odi

Akmal was starting off his career.

I am okay with a draw but wish our bowlers had grabbed couple wickets more. Test cricket needs unexpected turnarounds like these.

Not being able to force result was not that bad part. Bad part was picking only 2 wicket on 5th day while there was some turn and reverse swing.

Watever the reason was, we have to find ways to take 20 wkts. 

Lets not forget this was a west indies team and in future we ll get better teams. This was a duke ball and in future we ll get Kookabura's which get far more softer and the seam disappears. Good Opposition wont even allow us to score that much and if pujara bats like that any good bowler would love it.
