The Wall of the Indian cricket team Rahul Dravid has admitted that the side faces an uphill battle to save the second Test match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground after already falling 354 runs behind with just eight wickets remaining in hand and with two more days to play. The star batsman failed to explain why the side has been batting so poorly over the course of the two Tests played with his side already on the verge of receive its sixth straight loss in Tests after being thumped by England for 4-0 in England.

The team was bundled out for only 191 in the first innings of the second Test and Dravid had to witness some batting master class from Australian captain Michael Clarke, Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting which took them to a total for 659 for 4 wickets, a lead of 468 runs. The second innings also did not go much differently from the first for India and they have already lost opener Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid with Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar fighting it out in the middle.

Dravid also felt visibly disappointed with the way he got out in the second innings, being bowled by Ben Hilfenhaus for 29 after completely missing the swing of the ball. According to Dravid, things just haven’t gone right for India during this series but he is still optimistic that there is still time to go, both in the Test and the series and he hopes something can be salvaged from the series, if only pride.

He is hopeful that the players still at the crease can come up with something good and save the Test match for India and if that happens, Rahul Dravid can look forward to a new start with the third Test.
