What it is to go on a series as a No.1 side and then faltering and losing not only the position but also the pride. For India its a deja vu like the England tour and the worst part is its not the world no.2 side which is troubling them but currently ranked world no.7 is doing all the damage. For Dhoni it is certainly the mystery that has to be solved for unlike England and Australia series Indians dont seem to well do that horribly atleast in the batting perspective.
The thing that's surely hurting India is there bowling. For the 4th straight series Shami Ahmed looks by par the best Indian bowler and all the other bowlers look mere school boys trying to bowl overs out. This is the fifth time of the five matches that India has given in excess of 270 which in unfamiliar conditions looks too hot to handle.
Where exactly does India go wrong in the bowling dept?? Not a difficult ques to answer by any means they are erring in basics. They are either too short or too full in the end overs leading to rupture of runs. Ishant Sharma is back to getting hit.. Bhuvi is taking quiet a long time to learn the basics to bowl at the death. Though his performance was far better than that of Ishant Sharma it was way from the best.. And Indian Bowlers have this tendency to go pale in unison especially when the batsman decides to go berserk. And these small patches have made it vulnerable for their living.
For spinners being more of an supporting role actors it is now to Dhoni and Duncan Fletcher to show some out of box thinking in place. May be go for 4 seam attack by bringing Stuart Binny or else get in players like Ishwar Pandey or Varun Aaron. For they aren't playing bad but they aren't even playing like the champions. For what we know of Dhoni only miracle or an inspirational performance can only help them in crossing the lines this time.. :)
