Do u believe the way these 2 top Indian superstar Batsmen batted after the fall of 'recalled' Saurav Ganguly, were responsible for India's downfall. They batted so slowly, that put others under pressure which resulted in india having a low score?Was it ok for Sachin to go in a shell after a good lead of 120 something with fall of just 3 wickets?

I think this is what india have lost, there is at least one player in every team who is man of crises, like inzi for Pakistan, like dravid was for india, like yuvraj was for india (he will come back I hope) and I again and again say that dont worry, only one series on one particular soil should not state the full strength of a player ! Good days will come !

I agree with u.After wicket of Ganguly India was is strong position, what others had to do is just take singles and keep scoreboard moving but Sachin and Dravid failed to score against south african bowling attack.As a result pressure was increasing.Sachin and Dravid should have been played like dinesh kartik did.

maybe they were playing to play out the day as some others think but still best way to defend is to attack
