..is how I feel at the end of the second test. And I wasn’t even on the field for the day and a half Clarke batted.

Cheated could be another way I could describe how I feel. After a few years of watching my team not giving up without a fight even under the most dire situations, these sort of meek surrenders are hard to believe.

More than not losing the next 2 matches, what I seek is some sort of explanation of what’s going on here. Nothing airy-fairy like “Oh, the batting did not click”. Something more concrete

What is it? Is the captain stubborn, set in his ways, and not willing to think outside the box? Are the bowlers not motivated? Are the batsmen on vacation? Is the coach not getting through to the players or not attempting to? Are we not planning well? Is the composition of the team not correct? Is it the IPL? The BCCI? The Indian Government, or the ISI? Or have we been invaded by extraterrestrials?

Actually, forget it. I’m not even sure if I care that much right now.
