Sehwag spin on Dhoni drift

Warner faced two consecutive maidens from Ashwin and momentum,which the southpaw thrives on,was lost. His desperation to break free soon led to the opener8217;s downfall at the hands of Zaheer Khan. India had gotten rid off their nemesis from Perth and for a brief while it looked like Sehwag had righted all the wrongs of Dhoni8217;s leadership.

That belief,however,would soon be shattered as Sehwag then let the game drift a la Dhoni,despite having Australia stutter at 84/3. He first erred by starting the post-lunch session with the wayward Yadav and when Zaheer and Ashwin returned,he hardly set attacking fields for his premier bowlers. Deep-point was employed for the better part of the day,and Sehwag paid for his conservative captaincy when a thick edge of Clarke8217;s then on 35 bat flew between wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha and VVS Laxman,who was placed at a wide,almost third-slip position.
