Well they probably would. You saw how this pitch was playing earlier? India were 29-3; a better opening attack would probably have had them 50-5 from where there's virtually no recovery, especially against attacks of excellence like the aforementioned.

Well, not necessarily, Had it been a better attack, India would have started cautiously. Rather than the overconfident shots of Sehwag and Gambhir and Sharma.

PP3 taken. FINALLY>

I doubt Sehwag'd have played any different under any circumstances and I don't think Gambhir was overconfident at all, as I said he played the conditions and situation beautifully. Raina obviously wasn't overconfident either, he just got one that stopped which any batsman would look to play the shot he played to, you don't block leg-stump Half-Volleys.

India played relatively normally for mine, only Rohit Sharma played a shot that might genuinely have been different against better bowlers.

Even if you played with utmost caution, good bowlers would still get you out the way this pitch was playing earlier. It really was all over the place, and there was a bit of swing too.

Still it is almost criminal on your part to underrate the Indian batting lineup to be out for under 150.

It's not really about the batting. The bowler controls the game and on a pitch like this one was playing earlier (and might play again later) good bowlers will get you out, however good you are.
