Good job Lakshman and Ratra. I hope We get few more runs pretty quick and declare early at 550 or so. Next show is left for the bowlers. So, let us wait...

Yeah score 500 runs in three days and then expect bowlers to win matches. Our bowlers have been bowling their hearts out every time they go on the field. Our batsmen should have made at least 100 more runs at the end of Second day's game.

Agreed, India scored far too slowly and the pitch is not helpful to bowlers. On top of all this it is doubtful whether Kumble will bowl. Looks like a high scoring draw.
India declares at 513/9...
Ratra : 115*
Lets see if kumble can get some help from wicket else its gonna be high scoring draw.
Its gonna be a DRAW I can tell
West Indies 135/3..Lara out for 4.
Kumble doing a good job inspite of broken Jaw.
We might have a match here if India can get Hooper cheaply.
But I cant understand why Ganguly took Tendulkar of the bowling when he was getting so much of trun and just picked a wicket.
I am sure its gonna be a draw. 3rd day ended and WI still has 7 wickets in hand plus this is the 1st inning. So on the 4th day even if india bowl the whole team out WI still have another inning to play and I don't think india can bowl the whole team out twice in just one day thats impossible for india i think.
Since Kumble is ruled out, there are chances that It will end up in a draw.But who knows..let’s wait and watch. Kumble might decide to return and give another shocker to the West Indians.

Complete draw, even if Windies is bowled out and followed on, there is no way in the world the match would give a result.
One more amazing fact, Ajay Ratra becomes the first Indian wicket keeper to score a century outside India in 49 years.
That is a huge landmark.

Even if kumble return I don’t see any posibility of india wining this match. Kumble might be a good bowler but as far as I know he can’t bowl out a team twice in a row in one day. For sure it would be a draw.
With two days left if Windies follow on then it might be bit difficult for them to save the match. I think this is where India suffers a lot as they have no genuine all rounder and find it difficult to play 5 specialist bowlers. In fact since Kapil there has been no genuine all rounder in the team.
look at the follolwing:

**Kumble ruled out of rest of tour - but plays **
It seems certain to be a draw, unless one or the other team suffers a collective lapse of memory and forgets how to hold a bat or something equally dramatic.

Ajay Jadega has been banned because of the betting row.
Another Century by Hooper - So far 3 100s Great perfornace by him. I think he is a very under-rated player. He is one of the very few players who is comfortable playing both Fast and spin bowling.

What a crap! He is the best player, better than Tendulkar, Ganguly. I don’t think Ajay is a Gambler. Those who banned him, really sucks!

Yes he is a good and experienced player plus he has advantage of all this
He is playing at home
He is not facing greatest of all bowling attack (Except Sirinath others are lacking experience too and India didn’t played Kumble in initial matches)
He is always finding someone to stand with him (chanderpal). It happened often that he was forced to play his shots coz he goes on losing his partners
If nothing disastrous happens with WI or India's batting this will be a draw !
