It is saying something isn't it, that a middle order boasting of such worthies as Rahul Dravid (107 Tests), Sachin Tendulkar (135 Tests), Saurav Ganguly (91 Tests) and VVS Laxman(80 Tests), have tamely handed over the initiative to the opposition when put under pressure..
For two tests on the trot!!!!
The fellow showing the most enterprise in both games has been the guy who spent least time with this bunch!!!
India needs to seriously re-evaluate its middle order options for two reasons
1. An inability to deliver in crunch situations
2. The Age factor.
Irrespective of the outcome of this test( and if India win, apologists will cite "inimical conditions" to explain away the performance of the middle order), India must start identifying and grooming successors to the Fab Four at the earliest.
