England off the hook !!

India obviously does not belong to the 1st part of the above quote.You do not have to be a Nostradamus to predict what had happened on day 2. Time and again, India has let the opposing lower order bats carve their highest career score (remember that Gillespie innings at Mas!!) and this time it was no different. It took forever to get measly 3 wickets (which BTW had been pointed so many times in this blog ..go no further than the Munaf piece below) and by the time Monty was out (who incidentally was almost not even considered for any higher echelons till recently because of lack of batting), India had gifted 150 more runs than they should have and an invaluable 2 sessions were lost.
Sehwag proved his rustiness and RD/WJ combo scored too slowly aginst the negative line of England. All in all a terrible let down from Indian stand point and unless the pace of scoring picks up, India has to blame themselves.
