Don’t let go this Mohali moment

By John Cheeran
Don’t let go this opportunity, Rahul Dravid.
India is not even halfway to victory in the Mohali Test but we are well on the course.
It has been an impressive turnaround since this Test series began in Nagpur and India has the advantage now.
Skipper should ensure that Andrew Flintoff does not flourish on Monday morning to put the victory out of India’s hands.
On Monday Anil Kumble should pack off Flintoff, the first thing.
Failure to do so would see England giving India a tantalizing target in the fourth innings.
Given the brittle nature of Indian top order, and the quality of England seam attack, any target that requires to score more than five runs per over would have terrible consequences.
The kind of lift and bounce Steve Harmison extracted from the pitch, let me tell you, could trouble some of the biggest names in Indian cricket. To put India on the defensive, England does not necessarily need spinners.
Remember one thing.
As skipper Dravid told Nasser Hussain in the evening, wicket is still good to look for runs hence the responsibility on Kumble and Harbhajan Singh to dismiss the rivals quickly is huge indeed.
Over to you, Kumble.
