| ![]() NC is still very strong in his belief that we could have won this match without Sachin's innings ![]() |

That cautious approach could have denied India a victory if, say, half a day had been rained off on any of the final two days. Even without this a draw was on the cards when England had wiped out the defiicit of 282 with only 3 wickets down. At that stage England felt the loss of some good middle/lower-order batsmen that they had in the past (Flintoff, G.O. Jones, Giles) who could have taken England to safety. In the final test at the Oval, India can again expect conditions favouring the seamers. Hoggard could be back, probably in place of Anderson. The Oval in the past used to favour the spinners also on the fourth/fifth days. One can expect a tough contest. Last edited by rks : 1st August 2007 at 19:29. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I found the 'jelly bean' incident pretty funny.. too bad that Zaheer didn't take it as a joke.. But,at the end of it, they played well & i hope they repeat things to get a better win in the next test. Do they play some other local teams before the next test on Aug 9th? |

| ![]() The Indians do have a game against some county before the final Test. I predict that the Indians, with the possible exception of Karthik and Dhoni, will play dour and defensive cricket when they bat in the final Test; the idea being to hang on to the 1-0 lead. This is something that Shastri has warned against and could amount to playing into the hands of the Englishmen. But our top batsmen seem to prefer this defensive approach.

I think dada might sit out that match. Probably Dravid and VVS will find some form. SreeSanth will also do well to find some rhythm. Zaheer and Kumble deserve a rest. All this if it does not rain ![]() | |
