Re: India's negative bowling
I agree with f&b. It is a tactic that some teams have been using as of late. I think it can be used in a Test match to slow the run-rate as the rules for wide are linient. It works in ODI's as well but not when you have to take all wickets to win. India knew after 15 overs that they can't restrict Pakistan but rather have to get them all out to win. They needed wickets. You don't get wickets bowling leg side all the time.
