It is pity that Nasser Hussain still not matured.....from his stupid captain days to this day in commentator box. He should have used his pig shit brain that India was short of one main bowler (remember india went on with only 4 bowlers for the match), sachin with fever, gambir injured and though not productive but innovative captain in Dhoni - still they are fighting to save the match on 5th day.....while its a 50:50 chance for England winning and India drawing this match......He should understand that if not for a fluke innings from Pieterson, even Prior wouldn't have survived in the second innings due to pressure....letz wait and c who comes out with flying colors at the end of this 4 match series....
why are angrez jealous and spreading misinformation on IPL. india needs to increase the length and breath of it's talent so we can play two IPLs and tests, yet we have first class players to rotate. LOOK AT PRAVEEN KUMAR, he was waiting to be discovered and tried for test.
this should sum it up from one player- "If there was a fourth bowler we could have applied more pressure. One or two wickets at that stage could have put us in a different position."
It is for BCCI to think about why so many of its players are down with injuries. They have to address this to avoid any surprises/failures. We have so many crucial test match series coming up and fitness holds the key. Dravid alone cannot save all test matches:)

Mat prior thrives under pressure, he has a good attitude and although it would be easy to call him a 'selfless' cricketer. On other hand dhoni chokes under pressure( see his test overseas records), poor attitide & most selfish cricketer.

Mat prior thrives under pressure .... Have you watched world cup 2011? What was Prior doing there?
Mr Hussain.. remember how india snatched victory from the hands of defeat when you were captain of england..Natwest series. it is too early for you to start writing india off..

Dhoni test average outside In WI 2006, 24 In SA 2006, 26 In AUS 2007, 17.62 In SLK 2009 17.5 In SA 2011, 35.8 In WI 2011- 19.5 (last series) ( score of 0,16,2, 5 & 74(only one good inning when WI was operating with bowlers like bishoo/chandrapaul & front line bowler rampaul/shammi etc was resting due to injury). Also dhoni after playing 26 T-20 intl has not scored a single fifty, no match winning inning, no MOM & pathetic strike rate of 110 (one of the lowest for any batsman in T-20 at his batting position)
England conditions are very different from India or W.Indies.Our most of the players not played there before.They need time to settle in.Even the match is not over now. Dravid and Laxman can do anything from here (like against Aus earlier). Better see our players in coming tests.Even now India's performance is good but not bad. Wait and watch the whole series and you will take back your words.Jai Hind

Come on Mr.Hussain, this match is not yet over and you have started dreaming of England going past India !!! We all know Indians are slow starters whenever they go overseas but will eventually perform well and win this series.
