India-England first match

It was a competitive match and was sure one of the closest draws in recent times. The debate over England's over rate shows that England did in fact contribute towards the draw. They played better and deserved win the match in the end. But with the clear forecast of the rain, should have squeezed in more overs in the available time. On the other hand, team India did the right thing. The batsmen must have been told to hang in there and wait for the rains or bad light. Dhoni showed great temperament and proved once again that he can play according to the situation. Like any new player, he will have his share of struggle on tours, but he is fighting it out and is showing great determination. If he says that the sight screen was a problem, I will buy that without complaining. The Indian biggies havent fired yet and we can only hope that the players play to their potential and make the rest of the series interesting.
