i would lean towards Jaffer.. he played a fighting knock..

 

[Pratters]

crap man, dull draw

HUH?

I wouldn't call it the same regardless of the last hour considering the fight backs from both teams through out the match.

It has been a superb test match over all. Hardly dull.

I think Hoggard deserves it as much as anyone. Even in the second innings he took the wicket of Sehwag.

 

[BoyBrumby]

dull draw

Jeez you're a hard man to please!!!

Blackie surely joins the "one-cap wonders" club after that. Looked totally out of his depth. It's funny how when some players actually become better players when they aren't playing, isn't it? I now find myself hankering for the golden days of Udal....

The old India would've bottled up the game and play for a draw the WHOLE day. Im glad with the Chappell-Dravid thinktank that India aren't afraid to experiment and for a while there, they caught the English on the backfoot. Nevertheless, an entertaining last hour where England didnt deserve to lose nor did India deserve to win after being outplayed for the majority of the match.

Probably the best day for the Indians in the test match. They played a positive, refreshing brand of cricket today.

IMO it can't be a bowler because in the end Hoggard couldn't run through the Indian lineup and win the match. A draw should have a batsman as MOM. Collingwood played brilliantly, but perhaps Jaffer. Then again, Cook did all this on debut on foreign soil.

Who is the better bowler - Blackwell or Salisbury?

sorry boys ``Dull`` was used in the wrong context their, its more a disappointing draw because i wanted england to win, but overall a top test...

 

[Kweek]

crap man, dull draw

even without seeing much of the match! i reckon its certainly NOT a dull draw!
are you a cricket fan or what ? :s

 

[Pratters]

After all the criticism of Srinath, I agree with him. 'India had lost a bit of ground in the test match. They regained it in the last hour.'

I would have been really disappointed if India didn't go for a win (do believe they were indeed going for a win) at any stage of the match. Already thought they weren't a few hours ago.

India 2nd Test Squad?

I'd go with

Jaffer, Sehwag, Dravid*, Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Pathan, Chawla, Kumble, Munaf/VRV, Sreesanth, Reserves: Laxman, Kaif, RP Singh, Harbhajan

India have got to play 5 bowlers....my side would be
Jaffer, sehwag, dravid, Tendulkar (he should be dropped but he won't), yuvraj, dhoni, pathan, munaf, bhajji, kumble, sreesanth.
