This is it ... Make or break

[bharat297]

369 runs to win 90 overs to get it Required Run Rate: 4.1 Come on India ... This is a 5th day wicket. Kumble gracefully stepped down. This is our best bowling attack. Zaheer, Ishant, Harbhajan, Mishra ... This is it. This is your chance. Step up here and you will go down in the annals of history as being the man who brought back the BG trophy to where it belongs. This entire series boils down to 1 day now. Please step up ... This seems very unlikely but with guys like Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Shane Watson who all can score at a rapid pace once they get going we could lose this match if we're not careful. The key is to bowl in partnerships. This requires our most dedicated team effort. To Dravid & Laxman , all is forgiven for those first innings drops ... please take every chance you get here. To Ganguly, this is your last day in the field as an Indian cricketer ... please make it your best. To Vijay, your electric fielding in the first innings turned the game around ... more of the same please. And finally, to our 3 tacticians including our courageous captain ... Dhoni, Sehwag and Sachin ... between the 3 of you guys , you guys can surely figure out a way to secure this match for us.

OK.

First session tomorrow is very important. We need to seize the initiative. I would love to see ZAK and Ishant rattle the top order and leave the rest to the spinners to fight out for their shares.

we shouldnt have given aussies any chance.if we have batted more positively aussies wud be out of it by now.sehwag n vijay batted magnificently.but then dravid came out.what was he sent for?even tendulkar n laxman batted too slow.dhoni seemed to be happy with a draw.that defensive tactics almost killed us. if ponting hadnt been charitable after tea,we'd have been in a bigger trouble.even now aussies have a slim but a chance nevertheless,and a draw seems most likely,not an indian win

Hint: Dhoni should have declared instead of scoring a 50 for personal records. He threw the match away for his selfishness.:secret:for sachin rox>:winky:

Is that all you have to say?

well if hes the captain he got to be blamed or praised for tactics,doesnt he? i still cant understand why he send out rahul dravid at3? can u justify that?it was obvious india was playing for a draw n wen even that seemed difficult,charitable ponting came to the rescue.the tactics were defensive,dude,we could have posted a 420 score(including lead) and had a few more overs at them

Thanks to Dhoni, Bhajji and all youngsters for saving the test match ... Time and time our old players have proved how useless they r ... when they should have attacked (Sachin and Laxman) they were defending the balls and piling up the pressure ... This is not the first time they did so ... At Cape town sachin and dravid did the same thing ... Sachin can't perform under pressure ... And its 100% true.. Just look at the way sachin got run out ... Was he sleeping or gone blank? Kick out dravid now ... Bring in Rohit, Vijay, Raina etc ... Give them as much of chances as dravid is getting ... I hope India goes for kill tomorrow and not for just a draw ... We need to win 2-0 not 1-0

Do you remember B'lore Test against Pakistan? Sehwag again batted brilliantly in that Test, and he and Gambhir gave a very good start. Then Sehwag got out, and they "decided to shut shop" and in the end the famed and powerful batting lineup gave the Test to Pak. Recall that?

Australia will go for it. They have nothing to lose since a draw won't do them any good. They will all play aggressive shots and Katich scored at almost a run a ball in his first innings. Let's see what the Indians are made of. The only way Australia go on to win this one is if the fielders screw up again like they were doing on the third day with stupid misfields and drops in the slips.
