A good reason why you aren't nor ever likely to be captain of India. Even more than the fact you aren't Indian.

Why does everybody think that on a pitch at a new test venue giving up significantly less than 3/over for 4⅚ days, a team 1-0 ahead in the series is suddenly going to run the risk of losing it by hoying the bat for an hour chasing 6 an over?

It was the windies that called off that game, not India. Is anybody criticising them and asking why they gave up the chance of squaring the series, which was just as likely as India getting the runs?

The Windies knew they wouldnt get 7 wickets in an hour which is frankly rediculous to assume they would.

Why would you need to assume you definitely would? The windies just assumed they wouldn't, which when you are 1-0 down in the final match of a series just seems bizarre. And you think 86 runs in an hour is less unlikely?

Bob Willis might as well have just assumed he couldn't bowl out the Aussies for 111, it was frankly ridiculous to assume he could. England might as well have just given up against the Srils this year. Stupid to assume they could bowl them out on the last afternoon.

India already had the series in the bag, they didn't need to try any heroics.

Why are you not questioning the windies?

Please prove that you have some basic grasp of the game. I am getting depressed at the silly comments on here. :cry:
