For the post day press meet, Sachin attended on behalf of India. He was asked what he'd have to say on Sehwag's pre-match comments. Sachin gently replied,"He [sehwag] said it. I wont be answering such questions.Lets move on to the next one!" He gave credits to Bangladeshi bowlers that dey exploited the conditions very well and said thet the pitch was very damp earlier in da day. He also commented," No one plays to get out & the is game is not over yet and a still a long way to go." Interestingly, Shakib Al Hasan also said ,"That's his[sehwag's] comments. I cant say anything." It seemed dat the press concentrated mainly on Sehwag's comments..! I can recollect similar type of comments made by Ponting on Bangladesh questioning Bangladesh's test status four years ago. Do u feel the No.1 rank changed players' attitude towards weaker teams?

attitude is a personal thing, it has nothing to do with being no 1 or 2. one should learn to respect all teams and players, and should keep the spirit of game alive. we all learn from our mistakes, and that what life is about. hope the concerened people here to learns a lesson and be more respectful to each other in future

of course i feel that also,because they thought that they achieve all and they are no.1 in the test rankings in international cricket, definitely they have like attitude that they deserve all,but they got pressure now only because, they are currently no.1,if they lose once definitely the no.1 place will be deserve others, this is my opinion about the Indian team and also the players.

yes our Indian players are in attitude after making themself number one team in test match but players are not in attitude after becoming number one team players are in attitude since they have made there place in the team all players are earning very much as compare to other sports as well as compare to other country cricket teams.
