Reflections on the First Two Days of the Second Test

England have fought their way to 200-5 in the rain affected first two days of this test. I only hope that the England players have a different attitude to the BBC website which declared at lunch time that England were striving for a draw! Sure 200-5 is a little disappointing but there's no reason why England shouldn't make over 300 and then put the Indians under some pressure.

The premature hope of a draw lost England the third test against New Zealand in March 2002, which allowed the Kiwis to level the series. England should not make the same mistake again.

To stay at peace you must prepare for war. To draw a test match you must strive for victory!
