It shouldn't come as much of a surprise though, that Indian 'fans' are always trying to bring down the likes of Ganguly and Tendulkar without knowing **** all about the actual game and how these players have been performing. Same is true with Pakistan, although they usually try and take it out on players who have barely had time to settle.
The sub-continental fans love hero-worshipping and hero-bashing, it doesn't take much for them to give these players demi-god status and it only takes a few bad performances from these players for these fans to bring down these players.

Laxman taking singles off first balls of the over, seasoned batsman that he is!
(And people were ragging on Dhoni for this).

Zaheer gets out. 276/9 now. Laxman better try to keep the strike with Munaf.

Edit: Munaf first ball duck.
(Kumle, Bhaji and Zaheer all faced many more deliveries than Laxman. Has he ever shepherded
the tail?).

Exactly what I'm trying to say. While it shouldn't be condoned, it also shouldn't come as a great surprise to people who follow cricket closely.

Zaheer hits a 6 and then gets himself out trying to repeat it.

EDIT: Munaf gone for a golden duck.

Decent effort by Pakistan there to bowl them out with a 45 run lead. Pakistan need at a minimum a 300 run lead in order to have a chance at winning.

no they don't, anything around 250(even above 200 would be a tough ask for india) would be a winning total on the 4th and 5th days....

This guy Munaf can't bat even to save his life!
He shouldn't have to though, if his bowling and fielding are good enough then there is no reason his batting ability has to be anything other than that of a #11.

Yes, it is. Once he gets that up to a respectable standard he'll be a very valuable player for India. Nobody is asking him to be Jonty Rhodes, just so long as he can catch, run and throw to a capable level.

Typical sub-continental type of test cricket batting on display this from Pakistan dealing mostly in boundaries and not much rotation of strike is taking place.
