on indian footwork
Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman all have statuesque footwork, waiting to be exposed in bowler-friendly conditions. At Headingley earlier this year – an example quoted so often to prove that Indians can handle the seaming ball – Dravid and Bangar blunted the conditions when they were at their toughest, paving the way for the rest to plunder runs when batting was comparatively easier. That didn’t happen here, and India dished out the kind of batting effort which even Bangladesh would have been embarrassed with.
