Relax.....

India can think about changes if Indian middle order repeats their Lords
shoddy performance at Trentbridge.....

Isn't that the pathetic rinse, dry, repeat excuse parroted out each time
India fails ?

Excuse me, but having 40 as the highest score from a middle order for a Test
grade team in both innings of a match is a failure of a high magnitude,
when batsmen on both sides scored a fair number of 50s. The weather's help
and England's failure to push on the gas pedal has absolutely nothing to
with the Indian middle order's shameful and inexcusable performance.

Time to stop making these defeat-guaranteeing and highly pathetic excuses
for reliably failing batsmen ?

Had he who shall not be named been playing for Australia, he would have been
dropped in 2006, even if there had been no clear alternative. Tolerance of
failure is the easiest way to guarantee just that - failure, and oodles of
it.
