@vineshvk

Dhoni and Pathan should play their natural game. Blocking and defending are not their natural skills and they are bad at it. It was amply demonstrated in the last session today. I think if India gets to the pakistan total and then few early wickets in pakistan innings will put considerable pressure on the rest of the pakistani batsmen. Then the pakistani batsmen will go for a draw. I dont think the pitch had deteriorated to an extent where a major collapse in pakistani batting is possible. The most likely outcome is a win for pakistan or a draw. THere is hardly any chance for India to win from here..But they would have played really well to have enforced a draw.

Any thoughts on whether or not it is a decent idea to play Afridi as an opener? :)
