Four days have passed and undoubtedly aussies have played good cricket than the hosts. India failed in all the departments. As of now aussies took a lead of over 200 and have five wickets in hand. what do you think will be the result? will india lose or draw? I think this test will be a draw as India will put its effort in putting the test to a draw. Because Aussie gonna put a target of 300+ and for getting that target in a day will only be possible if virendra sehwag stays in the crease for couple of hours. otherwise result will be a draw or defeat.

well india lost the wickets of sehwag and dravid already. now its only lunch time and india is struggling. but if our master blaster sachin plays well, we have a chance of winning the match. i think its unlikely to have a result here. nothing much there in the pitch for bowlers and so that india will make it a draw easily.

Yes, it sure will be gonna be a draw. Its rare these days to see a test match drawn. I hope its drawn and India will surely try to draw the match. Indians did not play to their potential and I feel much more effort could have been put by the Indians to take the match away from Aussies. Anyways full marks to Zaheer and Harbhajan for their wonderful piece of batting. Any comments?

I think this test is going to draw. As of Australia has taken 263 runs lead and they wont risk to declare their innings and give India batting. They will declare only when they make 325+ and it will take 2 hours. and after that they will bowl out indian is bit difficult. Because Indians wont definitely like to loose. So they will try to draw. Still cricket is a game of uncertainty. Let keep fingers crossed.

i expect this test match to end in a draw but with team india you never know whats coming next. though the tail enders have done a good job in the first innings it will all be the top orders work this time if they want to save the test. with the middle order remaining vulnerable its hard to say anything but i expect the test match to end in a draw.
