Creditable Draw. Munaf is 'IN'

In the end, it was a creditable draw thanks to a sublime, serene, classy 100 by Jaffer and a decent but somewhat slow 70 by Dravid. The moment Sehwag followed his usual 2nd inning failure, chasing the target was not the priority but I felt that Rahul could have rotated the strike better. Jaffer again proved what a classy, regular opener can do and he is going to be an asset in these kind of pitches.
Sachin, Irfan played some brief cameos but it was too late to chase 8 an over in tests. All in all, not a bad draw in the context of the game but remember India was supposed to be the favorite but they managed to drag themselves in knots.
Kiran More was at a loss for words (as usual) when trying to explain Munaf's inclusion after dropping VRV. What can he say - it was a plain goof. I hope he makes it to XI even ahead of Sreesanth.
