The Great Indian Tail

India has along tail and it is not wagging...atleast for the past 10 tests.

It would be interesting to see, the records in last 10 tests of the Indian Tailenders. The tail is invariably longish, starting with Kumble, Zaheer, RP Singh, Sreesanth.

Here are the scores of our tailenders when batting first in last 10 tests.

Anil Kumble: 11,1, 0, 0, 6, 45 , 43, 14, 21, 30= 171 runs
* the scroes of 45, 43 have come against a weak West-Indian attack in West-Indies.

Zaheer Khan: 7, 0, 1, 2, 9, 21, 20, 2, 13, 0 = 75 runs

Sree Sath: 0, 3,28, 0, 0, 0, 29*, 29*, 1 = 90 runs

RP Singh is playing just his 6th Test match, and therefore, cannot be judged as quickly. If his spirited display of batting against the England Lions in a practice match is anything to go by, than we can expect some more.

Here's a ready agenda for the yet-to-be-appointed Indian Coach: get the tailenders to contribute more. Anybody listening?
