On talking on performance of Indian cricket team in first team in ongoing test series against England. He said ours performance was not up to mark ,Indian head coach added that we could have added 60-70 more runs in first inining of test but we miss the opportunity because pitch were pretty good to bat on second day . Dravid also mentioned that Dravid said that England and Pope played very well against the spinners. They used loads of reverse sweeps and sweeps against India ,will have to change their strategy for the next matches. He said while speaking in press conference "I mean, [the pitch was] challenging today, and I wouldn't be so harsh to judge them [batters] on today. In fact, if anything, I thought we left probably 70 runs on the board in the first innings when conditions were pretty good to bat in on day two. I thought in those kinds of situations, we got ourselves into some good starts and we didn't really capitalise. We didn't get 100, we didn't get somebody getting a really big 100 for us. So in some ways I think I just felt we left those 70-80 runs back in the hut in the first innings"
