With Five and more sessions left and having a lead of 319 runs i dont understand why our skipper didnt enforce The Enlish to follow on... Was it good decision ..can Indians wash out all the 10 wickets befor the last session of the play...

i have also the same doubt . i am not able to undestand his thinkings. but i know one thing that he is not only a good batsman but also a good captain . i think he will do the things in the way that it must be helpful t to the team but some times it may fail . so in my openion his thinking is in the manner that we have to get the winning in the 3 rd test also but his thougt was failed .so we must not notice these things as the wrong ones in my openion what will you say.

i have also the same doubt about it.they are behind the follow on of 319 runs .i think at that time it is better to gine them the follwon batting but dravid had done a different thing and he has turned the winning match into a lossing or a draw match .this is very bad thing to sat aout him.i am not able to understand why he did so .no body will do like these thing this is a wrong thing even a small team captain will do the thing what we think but no body knows why dravid had taken thi stype of decision .this is a worst thing tot say about himn in the situation of this 3 rd test match.if he may give the follow on batting to the england we may won the match compulsarily but yesterday at one stage we may loss the game.but things wewrw changed and middle ordereed batsmen have done a good job in their batting so we have reached that much score in the secong innings also. i think this is a worse thing towards the match .
