Steyn on Indian batting's reputation!

By John Cheeran
What was proven at home was again illustrated in South Africa - Indian batting's feckless nature.
There was hardly any surprise in the way Indian response panned out to the South African A team's challenge in the limited over contest.
It was left to skipper Rahul Dravid to play a responsible innings and avert a disaster. Only other heartening news from Benoni's Irfan Pathan's batting.
Indian batsmen have a genuine problem against quick bowling; whether at home or abroad.
Now even Sachin Tendulkar is finding it tough to live up to the arduous task of scoring runs of quality bowling attacks.
There is no doubt that South African bowlers will tease and test Indian batsmen at every available opportunity. Will there be a fitting response from Tendulkar, Dravid and Dhoni?
Already Virender Sehwag has taken the injury leave.
And to consider that VVS Laxman is chilling out in Hyderabad.
It is not that touring teams have not recovered from losses in the warmup matches. They have.
For India to bounce back in the first day-night match on Sunday will be a tough task indeed.
And to note that 'bounce' is the word of the season, with Indian batsmen struggling to adjust to the lift that south African pitches offer.
