I would NOT enforce the follow on if I were Dravid.
Let's assume England get bowled out for 340....thatt gives India a lead of 324 runs.
I would then look to make 176 runs off about 40 overs and set England 500 to win off roughly 140 overs.
The bottom line is England will be batting on the final day of this test match to either save it or go for a very, very unlikely win.
India will NOT have to chase runs on the final day and I honestly believe this is the best course of action.
140 overs IMO should be enough for India to bowl England out IMO...

The thing is, it was so random. They show the first 2 days, but not the 3rd day? WTF?
Just like the first test, where they showed the first 4 days on delay (who the hell shows test cricket on delay?), and then the 5th day live. I know they base it on what other sports are on, but FFS.

This reminds me of the last Test in 05 at Sydney. SA v AUstralia where Smith made a sporting declaration saying that there is no difference between losing 1-0 and 2-0. If anything, losing 2-0 allows the team to learn more and I think England have to go along the same lines here.really really good news i think lol
i much rather seee rain then seeing india winning
The record they have is something worth maintaining and rain isn't going to help that cause. If rain does not come, I think England need to bat so that India can face atleast 70-80 overs or so. Obviously, easier said than done, but in saying that, a mentatlity of 'staying in' isn't going to help the cause of drawing the series.
England must do something drastic. Possibly play it safe a while and then let KP, Collingwood and Vaughan try to create some sort of lead.

good days play for India.....lets hope the rain stays away and they can clean up the last week quickly. I'd rather if India battedand made quick 150 odd and than bowl at England. Bit for rest for bowlers would be nice imho, they should be nice and fresh to have a go at engalnd. The pitch would have detriated further so Kumble would be even more useful.

A little off subject I know, but can anybody tell me anything about Yashpal Singh?. He has a fantastic domestic record, while he has been a little inconsistent I've been curious as to why he hasn't really been able to prove himself at a higher level. The few times he has played for North Zone have been fairly successful, I suppose the fact he plays in Group B of the Ranji Trophy has something to do with it?

I agree. They have nothing to lose. Might as well just go for. Miracles do happen, as was proven in Adelaide.

well,dude .. What are you trying to say...doesnt he plays good knocks under pressure?Remember Ashes2006.....where he was d alone warrior for England....And against which team is his record's bad??you can say India but he has played few gud innings .. against then too......And about yesterday's dismissal.....he was jus looking to play his natural game.....The ball spun sharply cos of rough pathces......but thats the way he has played .. in previous game.....which worked for England too.
