Post-Mortem

Well, everything went pretty to script. We did loose by an Innings, we did not bat out 4th day.
SA were too good. Or may be still are too good. For us. But there is a character of Indian team. Every time we went down, we came up higher. So, don't write us off.
Its difficult to see good things in adversity. But if one really looks in the hindsight, had we have batted first.
I dont know about Badri, but Vijay is here. Talent-wise. He played the best bowlings and always got out himself only, except Styne in first innings.
Again, you can see, why we are going to be struggling travelers. Dhoni. Not good enough batsman for really quality bowling. I dont know if anyone has noticed he still need to prove his test batting credentials. I remember only one Hendingley match saving innings by him.
Gambhir is also suffering against express pace. But, he should be back. Sooner or later. Suddenly, with Dravid and Laxman out and Gambhir not scoring ( highly unusal), ot batting looks mediocre.
But still the testimony of batting quality of India. Sachin late-cut-ed Styne. How good is each single run he scores. So beautiful.
Ah. we will come good. its a matter of time. They caught us sleeping.
