| | India for the umpteenth time let a team get away from the noose. India has a sorry habit of doing this in both test match and ODI cricket. It baffles me how it continues occurring but it seems to me that it has something to do with the Indian mindset. This lack of a killer instinct is seen in all walks of my life in Indian culture.
Some call it the 'Chalta hai' culture. For non-hindi speakers that translates loosely into 'Let it be'. This has always been a pet peeve of mine and in my mind is one of the reasons why Indians are rarely the toppers at anything. We are damn good at many things and as an average are often superior to most others, but we more often than not get trumped by some other team/individual/'fill in the blank'.
