In Dravid they trust

04-Jan-2010•Siddarth Ravindran at the Chinnaswamy Stadium

Mentorless attack errs in length

The Australian bowlers had watched the success of the Pakistanis but did not bother to copy their method

04-Jan-2010•Peter English at the SCG

England fix their eyes on the summit

Summits are not reached at speed, but with small, steady steps until the goal is reached
