Agony transferred to India

The Boxing Day test started wonderfully for India with a good effort from Bowlers.
At 217/6 ,it was a great match for India.It looked as if Australia would be dismissed by Stumps.
But the usual curse with India which dominated from time immemorial,played it's role once again.The Bowlers who were so good on the first Day suddenly turned out into just spectators of the the efficient batting from Siddle & Haddin.Siddle played magnificently like an expert AllRounder scoring most of the runs of their partnership of63 runs .Siddle contribution was 34 out of this.He in fact showed the technique of Batting to the middle order of Australia.
Now ,India has lost the advantage they achieved by the Bowlers.But the pity was that the same bowlers who made the success initially failed to have any control over Haddin& Siddle.Now,having reached a reasonably fair score,Haddin would himself take over from Siddle as he is a dangerous Batsman - Wicket keeper when things are fair for Australia.
In other words,a Test match which had all the chances for a win has been voluntarily handed over to Australia.once a lost opportunity returns, Australians cannot be controlled.This was obvious from Test against SA in SAin which they made Steyn ineffective,fought every moment& finally won an impossible Test match which was all the way in favour of SA.
So the Batsmen of India will have to take care of a Debacle.
CAUTION&CONTROL are the Key words for India from now onwards!.Seuss will have to maintain patience by waiting for right balls instead of hitting anything including out Swingers on the Off- Stump.if such a game is adopted by Sehwag it spells Disaster for India.
The Batting veteran Thrimoorthys & Virat Kohli should rise to the occasion.Especially Sachin with one eye on his 100th 100!!
