No top-order batsman in at least the last 20 years of Indian cricket has played this many tests with such a low average. His inclusion is deliberately denying talented guys, in particular, an opportunity to be in the 11."

After the end of the match, Australian legend Ricky Ponting expressed his frustration while saying that the replacement ball used in the 37th over wasn't a match for the ball that was being replaced. Ponting said, "The biggest concern I have is the big discrepancy in the condition of the ball that was chosen to replace. There's no way in the world you can even look at those two balls there and say in any way that they are comparable. If you are going to change the ball, you want to make sure that you get it right so that it is as close as you possibly can to the one that you're changing it from. If you had a look in that box, there weren't too many older-condition balls in there. There were some older ones that were picked up; the umpires looked at that and threw them back." He also said that "The conditions were better for bowling this morning. But what I saw last night that ball there I'll put my hand up and say I've got absolutely no doubt at a...
