The way Indian team play last test on last day look like playing any ordinary team.
First they took lot of time to get west indies tail and after that they batted very slowly. Indian team needed 180 runs in 47 overs but India lost their first wicket on first ball but after that Dravid and Vijay play very well but the way Dravid is batted look like he is interested in drawing the match instead of winning. when India needed 86 runs in 90 balls this is not difficult task but Indian team decided to draw the match. If India not leading the series and trailing the series even then they decided to go for draw.

Yes India definately deserve to be the number one team in test cricket. Talking about the final day of the last test match in the Westindies yes India could have gone in for a win but why risk loseing the match and drawing the series if wickets fell quickly.
India were left will dealing with 47 overs and having lost a wicket on the very first ball, it definately put the host on a high. From then on Dravid and Vijay put on a partnership and steadyed the innings and made sure that Inida will not lose the match. By doing so they ensured that India will win the series rather that take risks and draw the series if they had to lose.
Also this is a test match and not a ODI. They have to take their time and play rather than score very quickly. Yes when you have players like Sehwag they whatever the situation there is no difference between a test match, an ODI or even a T20..

although we have won the series, yet the attitude of players on last day really has disappointed me.... as their intentions were so clear that they are trying to draw the match where chances were there to win the match. Its an old scenario of Indian players.

The carribean series was fantastic for The Team India.They had an excellent win against the westindies.They made this remarkable win in the absence of Sachin Tendulkar,Sehwag,Yuvaraj,Gambhir,Zaheer Khan.And this makes the win so much glory.They had made it with the youngsters.Lot of young cricketers has got a chance to prove their talent in the carribean soil.

I think indian team is loosing their spirit in this game.atleast after that match i think so.just imagin ,in a T20 Match the can score more then 200 runs and here they couldn.t score just 186 in 46 over?what a rubbish?what should we say it.in my case whenevr i have taken intrest in team india and cricket they always disappointed me.today india is #1 but not bcoz or their play like that but the other countries are not playing well.when they will raise their head.indian team will realise where they stand.
