It is England all the way !!

For all the pundits, who predicted a 3-0 brownwash, look no further than my preview to this test. I knew that India has this great ability to tie themselves in knots against any club attack too. It was a day, when India almost threw away the match, when confronted with the swing of Hoggy. The famed middle order collapsed and Kaif although did the rescue act with AK, failed to accelerate in the 3rd session, when the ball did nothing. Under the circumstances and the context of the game, Kaif's inning would be considered as a match saving one but in my opinion, his ugly stance, absolute lack of ability to drive on front foot or time the ball even when well set or even marshall the tail, makes him a big liability at no.6. Kaif patted down delivery after delivery and his scratchy innings made me cringe and here is where he failed to learn a lesson from Collingwood. Well !! I do not expect him to be a Steve Waugh or even a Mike Hussey, when batting with tail but he was not even a Collingwood class.
In anycase, he chipped away time but 180 runs in one whole day's play made it an horrendous display of batsmanship, making Chris Tavre look like Richards.
Unless, India gets it's act together in the 2nd innings bowling effort, they are in for a rude awakening and another thing which might happen is that VVS might have played his last test.
