I have heard reasons that the bowlers were tired and hence the follow on was not enforced. Pretty lame reasons. England showed great fighting qualities eve though they were a bowler short. A draw written all over the game.
well I am not agree with you. It is not draw at all. A full day is remaining and you could see yestardaywhat the ball was doing and today Kumble and Tendulkar will paly an important role to clinch the match. But agree that following could be a good decision.
Well I think Dravid made a mistake to not promote Dhoni early but now we are safe now. England still need 444 Runs in 90 overs. I think this match should be ended in Draw because we have less chance to bowled out them. Also there is Rain too so its hard to completed 90 overs on wole day.
England now 253-3 and we're into the final session of the final day. Looks like we SHOULD get away with the draw (famous last words). Like others have said I can't understand why India didn't enforce the follow on. England would have had to have batted out of their skins to overhaul the Indian total and then given them a testing target to chase. In nearly two days I would have banked on the Indians bowling them out and then left themselves ony 100 or so to get - tops.
All over. England 369-6. Match drawn and the series to India. Congratulations to all the Indian DP-ers.
Well done India by taking series win over England. England defeat first Test Series at home after 6 year. India win this series without any coach. Do we need anyone? I think not. At the moment our team doing well.
well indian win the series-- but not the way it shld be . they ruined the ejoyment had it been 2-0; a strange decision to bat again. have they put them in that wld have been a great job. looks like team is more concerned towards wining a series rather then have aith in them to go for 2-0; i am a bif fan of australia on that part. they never givw up whatever might be the chase. it was a bad decision to bat again.
