A slender lead of 11 runs would have definitely gave a lot of confidence in the second test. But as rain obstructed most of the plays of second and third day India is just having a lead of 115 runs at the lunch of day 4. I think Indian bowlers have work hard to take all the ten wickets of West Indies in the fifth day. With just one and a half days remaining, can India win this second test match???? Please share your opinions....

Its going to be tought to get a result if rain continues to play spoiltsport, We have had so many interruptions due to rain and with that so many overs lost. India are sitting in the drivers seat on day 4 with the score at 133/2. Dravid and Laxman at the crease and are putting in valuable runs. If we have to see a result in this game we have to get maximum overs bowled without any rain interruptions. For sure Dhoni is going to have a go at the Westindies and try and get them allout but will there be enought time left to do so. Lets wait and see whats unfolds and whether we will get a result or not.

India are in a strong position at the end of the fourth day. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to see that the Indians did not push for a faster run rate at the end of the day yesterday. If that had been the case they could have gone ahead and declared today and had the whole of tomorrow to bowl the Windies out. But now, they will need to play at least some of the morning session and then that would leave them with too little time to really bowl out the Windies. But hey anything is possible in a day's game and all three results are still possible as we go into the last day's play. Cheers! Ram

If Dhoni wants a win he should instruct his team to go for 30-50 runs in 45 minutes of play today. The WI would be confused, whether to chase or defend. Even if they chase a few quick wickets and they will start to defend and since their test batting is not too good the defnsive strategy would be akin to playing into our hands. The Indian bowlers can attack and do their best to win this test and close out the series with a win here.

If Dhoni wants a result we need to bat for 45 minutes more to get 30-50 runs more and declare. The WI will not be sure how to go about it? The confusion will be to go for it or defend and save the match? Indian bowlers can exploit the conditions and do their best to close out the series with a win here, it can be done. For sure.

Its little difficult task from now.While i am writing this response India is having a lead of 154 runs.The legends rahul dravid and laxman are now batting.From now,they have to raise the lead greatly so that india can put a tough target for west indies. Any way,Indian pacers are in great form.Especially,Ishant sharma who picked up 6 wickets in the first innings.India is desperate need of such a match winning performance from the Seamers.

I dont think this test will get a result. the match has been ruined by the rain. This match was also going in favor of indian team if Rain has not played its game. but unfortunately, the match is into the last day and now I don't think that India has enough time and target to make WI allout. so surely this is going to be a draw. and we may expect rain in the 5th day also..

Yes.india is world cham and the negative point of west indies is that their batting order is not gud.if weather didn.t disturb the game,i am sure india can win.
