King Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'd rather see a close finish. Although I don't want India to lose, it will be better if this game gets to a close finish rather than the rest of the Indian batsmen play out the day. If India can score another 200 or something in two sessions and if NZ has to chase about 150+ in the last session it would be great. This test match deserves a result. There has been few terrific fight backs in this test already and it would be befitting if a result is achieved. Link to comment
Ram Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If we have an option to play out the day, we should. We're on the threshold of such a big series win that its an absolute no-brainer that we fiercely protect our lead. Today is not the time for risks and experimentation. It was risky and exuberant strokeplay that got us into this mess in the first place and careful and trepid batting that got us out of it. Why change course mid-way? Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 nope-a draw will do just fine. Link to comment
umpire Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Kiwis have bowled 200 overs in 2 days and bit. Thats lot of overs. They must be feeling the pinch. Let them toil for another 90 overs. Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Bat 90 overs, don't give them a sniff. Link to comment
Shehezaada Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 draw with Tendulkar batting all day should be entertainment enough Link to comment

SachDan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 draw with Tendulkar batting all day should be entertainment enough :dito: Link to comment
ludhianvi Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 A draw for India here would be close to a victory for me. To save the match following on would be a great feat here. Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Don't worry about close finish or a draw. Kiwis now will win handsomely......SRT gone. Link to comment
EnterTheVoid Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The match now rests on one man's shoulders Link to comment
Sachinism Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Happy with a draw There is no chance for us to get a lead, get them in with enough overs to bowl them out Link to comment
DomainK Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I would have liked a close finish if there was a chance of India winning. But given India's lead in the series, I would like to see our batsmen see it off to safety....even if its boring. Link to comment
EnterTheVoid Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Playing for the draw is nerve wracking enough Link to comment
nikred Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Draw is just fine for me. I had enough of that heart breaking close finish in aussieland. Can't stand another one.:(( Link to comment
Fontaine Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This pitch doesn't deserve a result. Day 5 and zero signs of the pitch breaking up, there's not so much as a half decent footmark to bowl at. Link to comment
