Did anyone see Mark Waugh's spray at lunch on Day 4. He was crapping on about India being negative by protecting a series lead and how they should risk a loss to gain a 2-0 result.Â
I found it amusing given the team he played for (and his brother captained) and their win at all costs mentality. Steve Waugh would never have declared in a concluding test if he held a lead.
In the end the Indians won anyway. They hardly needed Junior's "wisdom".

His comments were made in relation to getting Test Cricket more interesting.
Interest is fading, especially in India and Junior stated that the negative tactics (rightly or wrongly) weren't helping the game.
That and the fact that Dhoni likes to see himself as an attacking captain only to stand 2 foot down leg side while Singh darted them down.
Obviously Junior says it with some bias, but that shouldn't be a big surprise really??
