Was Zaheer tired??

Indian cricket team after a long poor performance ,specially in World cup, have managed to win a series against england. It was a 1-0 series win. It could have been a convincing 2-0 win if our wall , I mean Dravid would have enforced the follow-on.

But Dravid's reasoning of him finding his bowlers tired at the end of first innings was reasonable. How many captain in today's cricket would have enforced follow -on ? I dont think any body including our punter . I totally agree that he should have not enforced follow -on, but what put me off is his batting , 11 runs of 96 balls. What was he doing ??? trying to draw the match( In fact that was the result).

His reason of him finding his bowlers tired have started another controversy , The media had interviewed the man of the series Zaheer Khan , and he said "he was fit and not tired at the end of second innings". How to make a news of this story, well we will have to ask our media on how to do it? . They were reporting this news as though there were misunderstandings in the team . Like the captain had not consulted his bowlers before enforcing the follow-on.I am sure Dravid being a senior would have taken a decision consulting the whole team.Zaheer is not the only bowler for team India. I agree he was the main force , but only his fitness could not have been considered before choosing to bat.Why does the media , have to spread rumours , is it just to be rated as the "Number One channel".

Lot of controversies in cricket over th last year has been because of media including the famous chappel - ganguly . Somes times media in the name of information , looks in to the minute details of interviews to spring controversies and surprises. It is sad , specially when the team is doing well to have such controversies. All cricketers have to be thought how to talk diplomatically to the media. Hope the cricketers learn from their mistakes every time they talk to media. I am sure zaheer would be tired answering to the question "Were you tired".
