My report card:
Sehwag: Bye bye. No temperament to open. Slashes like clockwork at deliveries that can easily be left alone. India cannot afford him. maybe eye-hand coordination saved him in his early yrs, but now he is too out of shape to have any coordination. No technique to fall back on, even assuming he develops temperament somehow. So ta ta!
Karthik: Welcome. Got a bad decision on ing 1, caught off pads. Good I2 too! Needs to continue to open with Jaffer.
Jaffer: Improving. Has technique. Tough luck in T3I2, ball kicked up.
SRT: Below par, but OK. T2, T3: 60s in one inng, lapeted in other inng.
Dravid: Subpar but OK. lapeted in T2I1, lbw on top of kneeroll..after 2 RSA bats were given not out on T2D1 when hawkeye showed they were out..
Dada: Bhalo!
VVS: Subpar but OK.
Dhoni: Carry on..doing good..
Kumble: OK..
Munaf: Should be kept out for some time..injured.
VRV: Improving...
Sreesanth: Keep it up! Boss, stay focussed now, do not become a Irfan pleej onlee!
And everybody needs to work on not replaying T1 in mind while playing T2 and T3. Old Indian habit. Unprofessional, predictable, dirty, lazy habit. Work on it.
Umpires: I know where you live.
