I am really curious to know how suddenly after a successful tour of Pakistan, the whole Indian team has suffered such a catastrophic loss of form ???
I still beleive that almost all the batsmen in the Indian top order are good enough to walk into any team in the world, classy players all of them.. Then whats wrong? why is it proving difficult to post a score of 200 in a consistently ?
