Right I'm gonna agree with you. Yes, he can be disappointing most of the times because of his poor feet movement, and selection of shot and what not. But then, you only have 2 days left, a lead maybe an excess of 200, you really think Gambhir could turn the game around? I understand if you are gonna play for a draw, but in this kind of scenario you have no else to trust. I'm not blaming Gambhir though.But he is all by the book and he is calm while on the other hand, we have the relentless one who could take on anyone ! All this being said, chances of him failing are more cos of his aggression. I'm in a mixed feeling. I hope he fires big!
You have to play for draw here. India have no chance here.
For win the target minimum shud be 350 given the form of english batsmen. And trail is of 200, so that means india need to make 550, that too in second innings.
And give england to bat for 1 day at least so that bowlers get time to get them out. Thyat means india have to make 550 runs today only. Is it possible ? NO.
Hence india have to play for draw only. There is no other option.
