Test - Day Five

India win series with Mohali draw

With fog delaying the start again, India decided that a draw was the only result and tried to get both Gambhir and Yuvrav to a century, both falling short.



The Indian press have been divided on whether the team should have pressed for a win. They lost momentum on the 4th day when slow batting stopped them from being in a position to declare overnight. With time likely to be lost on the last day this appeared like a very conservative approach






So whats the right approach? To make sure of the series victory and avoid defeat at all cost, or to look to win every match??



ps the weather was the victor the following day, with fog shutting the airport until around 2pm. Despite the best efforts of our local agent, there was no way that we could get to Goa and have ended up in Delhi tonight. Still an early morning flight will get us to Goa in time for the Queen's speech.
