Sehwag and Dravid make Indians proud

By John Cheeran
For a change it looks like, I will get my money’s worth.
My prediction of a draw, after play on the first day, is becoming increasingly likely now.
Virender Sehwag has hammered a breathtaking century while skipper Rahul Dravid has authored a solid century.
Captain and vice-captain, in an admirable show of solidarity and craftsmanship, have lived up to the Pakistan challenge. Sehwag’s double century is the second fastest in Test cricket history.
Dravid will relish his 21st century, coming in as an opener in a critical juncture, to the immense relief of Team India.
Dravid’s and Sehwag’s centuries vary in style, but in substance they are the same. It helps the team’s cause.
They should carry on and hold the crease throughout the final day to de-fang the Pakistan bowlers.
Dravid should think about declaration only after surpassing Pakistan’s total that will give India the necessary psychological edge.
Sehwag is with in a chance to overcome Brian Lara’s 400. After a string of below-par scores, Sehwag should be given the chance to make the best out of his Lahore luck.
