And Sehwag says that the Aussies are scared :

*“They’re not going to win, they’re scared,” Sehwag said on a day when Australia managed 260 runs for the loss of three wickets. “They are playing so defensively. They just got 260 in a day on a flat track; that’s not like Australia. Last time they scored more than 400 in a day at Adelaide. I think they’re scared of defeat.” *

I think there is something to what Sehwag is saying…a team that has lost only 3 wickets - to score at a run rate of 2.8 on a flat track certainly makes one wonder if the Aussies were trying to adopt the “avoid defeat first” policy. I did not think India bowled that negatively.

Aussies are dead scared to take any risks in this match because they know Indians can beat them and that would be bigger than actually losing the series because everone knows how they won the 2nd test.
