Too cautious for their own good?

This is what a reader, Dinesh, had to say after the Mohali Test...

We were too defensive. Except the openers Sehwag and Chopra, all others were playing very cautiously, thereby putting unnecessary pressure on themselves. I was really shocked to see Sachin block even the overpitched deliveries that he normally despatches to the boundary. If we break our shackles and play positively we will be worldbeaters!!!

Do you agree? Or are we just deluding ourselves?
