Doesn't help that we don't have Ashwin. He is the only person in this lower order with the technique and spine to score a valuable 40 odd.
Our tail at the moment is one of the worst in the world. I have been disgusted to see how Zaheer, Ishant, and Shami have gifted away wickets in the last few innings'. Even if we added 20-30 in our first innings, it would have been crucial.
Anyway... we can only wait and watch. MSD is a special player, but hasn't been good in test cricket for a while now. Lets see what happens.
