Resuming the match the next day would actually be a better idea...because the pitch isn't going to be the same either day if it rains. Atleast you don't have pressure that wasn't cause by you on your shoulder. India first had to go at 5 runs an over at the start of the inning. You go out there with that mental status that you are going to score 5 runs an over...suddenly you are asked to score 7 runs an over in half the overs...that is not good for your mental fitness.
Atleast when you go in the next day you will face the same amount of overs, and the same run rate.

Come to think of it, it really wasnt all that bad you know.Dravid said:
See,
- Sachin had scored 141 no in the last game, he was due for a failure. He still averages 153 in this tournament you know !
- Dravid is not an opening batsman as we all know. This was an experiment and as with all experiments success and failure are not that important. We can always give up or try yet another experiment , right?
- Pathan is a lower order batsman. At number three its a bit of a lottery and we won the lottery just two days ago. Dont be greedy guys.
- Sehwag was unfortunate to be run out going for a third run. It happens
- Yuvraj is just coming back from injury and got a beauty before he could settle down.

No,no. This was nothing to lose sleep over.
which is why our record vs. WI is 0-5 over the last 5 matches?

I seriously hope Dravid gets back in his senses and goes back to number three and let Sehwag open. We all know Sehwag and Tendulkar have been one of the most successful Indian opening partnership in ODI

rain must've never felt this good for IND...Irfan has a real good chance of giving most runs in ODI, dravid just needs to let him finish his 10 overs, so the world gets to see a new record set. If IND does not redeem themselves in the last 2 matches, they really don't deserve any more help from rain.

Regarding Pathan i wonder if he'll play the next match now.
He's in the team as a bowler and he's so far bowled 6 pathetic overs in 2 matches. If he's in as a bowler surely he should be getting more overs or if captain's lost faith in his bowlign than why pick him at all.
He was wondeful at least in ODI last season but he's been pretty bad for past 6 or 7 matches so maybe time for Pathan to take rest... he needs go back and learn to bowl again because it seems he's forgotton how to bowl.
