Both Steve Waugh and Sourav Ganguly felt that it were the Indian batsmen who changed the complexion of the game at the Eden Gardens. Both also stated that they would go for a win in the final Test. Waugh appeared to be a bit philosophical in the post-match press conference. A loss is bad. But then that is not the end of the world.
Life goes on.
However, insiders to the Australian dressing room informed that the entire team had been shocked by the result. In fact, there were some who never dreamt that India would come back in the series at the Eden Gardens. The Australian captain also added that it was ordinary batting that led to the downfall. You cannot expect to save a Test match when you bat so poorly. Now we have got to be on our guard at Chennai.
