    ...when India's loosing [:http://ind.cricinfo.com/pakvind/content/story/235278.html|back] to [:http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/pakvind/content/story/235870.html|back] :P

    I took the trouble to watch the whole of Indian batting (thanks to the [:http://hpnadig.net/blog/index.php/archives/2006/01/31/caught-viral-fever|illness]), first expecting that Sehwag would fire, then expecting Sachin to put up glorious batting - both didn't happen. While Sehwag was a big flop yet again, Tendulkar played very cautiously and was out the very next ball after reaching 100! The last 5 -7 overs of Indian batting was bad.

    Turns out that the match ended with bad light and [:http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/pakvind/content/story/235870.html|Pakistan winning] according to Duckworth/Lewis system.

    cricket

    Relatively, it is better. Worst thing is playing test matches on a batting pitch like the first two test matches.

    fielding

    yeah, and after second match, we could notice almost everyone praising the Indian fielding as "excellent" (even Dravid said this in the presentation deck). But the truth was that only few players fielded well (Raina, SriSanth, Kaif et all), and luckily it came back to back for the Indian team.
    Watching the Australians and SriLankans field in the VB series, one would get an impression that Indian (and even Pakistani) fielding is way below par.
