Yesterday was finally the sum of all our fears for playing India in India.
1 - Wade's keeping making a difference. Chances against spinners in these conditions are almost always going to be difficult and he grassed a couple
2 - No plan B from Smith. As a great as he has batted his big issue remains how unimaginative and inventive he is when things aren't happening. I don't understand why the selectors are so focused on all rounders when Smith won't bowl them. Happened to Marsh, then Cartwright and yesterday with Maxwell.
Bowling two 2 over spells from your spinner, when they bowled 120 overs combined is just ridiculous and shows how little faith he has in him. He also refused to bowl himself or Warner to try and disrupt the momentum of the batsmen. Epic fail IMO and we bowled Cummins into the ground on his return.
3 - Warner failed again. He ever looked surviving any sort of time because his defence isn't up to it on these types of tracks. Kwaj must still be shaking his head about the selection policy.
Based on their history of collapses it's hard to see these guys lasting 50 more overs today.
