...lose early, take extra days off...for practice, of course!

India batted a grand total of 89.4 overs across two innings at Old Trafford. The result: a loss by an innings and 54 runs. The larger outcome: More damage sustained to an already bruised overseas reputation. The manner of defeat was frustrating and the reaction of captain MS Dhoni - a man known to get away with saying anything, anywhere - typical.
But before we dwell on what Captain once-Cool said, let's see how Australia captain Michael Clarke had reacted when India were shredding his young side at home in 2013.

Here is what God's gift to Indian cricket had to say after India went down 1-2 at Manchester.
To summarise, Clarke accepted responsibility for the defeats and came down hard on his players, and led them out from a horrible slump of six consecutive Test losses. Australia won seven of their next eight games. Dhoni has chosen to laugh off India's loss and has said the 'extra' days off would benefit his team. How exactly remains to be seen.
