Aus were more committed: Former players

Stunned by India8217;s Test slump,former players blamed teams batsmen for the debacle. 8220;The overall commitment and preparation was not up to the mark. The Aussies showed far more commitment and they were miles ahead in home work and preparation and that8217;s what made the difference,8221; Bishan Singh Bedi.

8220;Our batting failed miserably. Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting batted beautifully and rallied them from situations when they were three wickets down,8221; added another former captain and ex-chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar while reacting to the loss. 8220;The fielding was poor,especially close-in catching,and the overall performance of the Indian team was extremely poor,8221; he said.
