What continues to amaze me about this Indian test cricket team is how unprepared some of the senior players go into every test series. I don’t think any of the top six got much action going into the Bangalore test and it showed. The Australian team on the other hand had two tough matches in Jaipur and Hyderabad to get used to the conditions. Rewind, one year to the Melbourne Test in Australia and the same thing hapened! – the Indian team went into a big test series in alien conditions with one practice game and promptly got hammered. Yes, some of these men played the Irani Trophy but one four day match does not practice make! Plus, Ganguly and Tendulkar didn’t get any match practice!
