His technique has always been faulty (And he scored a 300 with that, so it works for him), and that is why it was so necessary to make pitches that would support seam movement to get early breakthroughs in test matches against India.

True! I’m not going to call his daunting innings against Pakistan a fluck but would rather attribute his inaugeral performances against the Pakistanies any ‘Dream bearer’ Indian crickter would have, to do extremly well against Pakistan which could immediatley spell overnight fame for the debutants or gallows a la’carte.
Each Indian player is mentaly occupied to manage their ‘commercial affairs’ and seemingly do justice to the very game which is the very reason for their wealth and fame. Distraction! What distraction?
