Yes, if Harbhajan and Kumble bowled on day 5 they would of won, but Dravid let Udal use it, and he took 4 cheap wickets. But the decision was probably only about 65% Dravids.
aussie1st said:Dravid's surely was easy to call, 2 spinners 4th inns spinning deck pretty simple imo.

Sehwag should be rested for atleast 1 match.Youngsters should be given well deserved chance.Good fielders like Kaif are neede in the team.hondeyho said:Sehwag should be dropped - he has been awful so far. There are many players who deserve to be in India's squad like Kaif who have been performing well. Were as Sehwag has been awful with the bat - he should go.
So England have lost the Warm-Up game by 5 runs - if only Ian Bell can now put his performances from Warm-Up games to the ODI Series.

cricketer like Sachin is `blocking`?
3.) Agreed, Martyn and Clarke were dropped after the Ashes but now the Aussie selectors have realized that they made a big mistake by doing that and now the two are in the side again .
Also Clarke and Martyn are in no way comparable to legends like Lara and Tendulkar.
The fact is that due to the injury , he has never been able to continuously play for the whole year.
As I said , he has had a decent tim in the 8 tests he played in 2005 .
He has only played 5 matches this season. [/color]
The theory of `blooding in youngsters` looks good on paper and has been very good in ODIs of late which has prompted some people to make drastic changes in the test side.
Test cricket is very ruthless and its not easy for youngsters to turn up and perform .
The fact that Yuvraj, a player who has had 6 years Intl. experience is still finding it difficult to cement himself proves it.
Yuvraj still seems to be struggling in test cricket.

Pietersen is hitting RP Singh everywhere at the moment.
