Been there guys say India should do it

Recalling the nervous moments, Dighe said, 8216;8216;People were having palpitations in the dressing room and it was Sachin who told me to wear the elbow guard. 8216;This is not league cricket8217; is what Sachin said. I remember telling Bhajji 3 not out, 8216;don8217;t hook or pull Jason Gillespie8217;. He did that and we escaped to victory.8217;8217;

Mongia8217;s is the other end of the spectrum. Chasing Pakistan8217;s target of 271, Mongia, with Tendulkar, took India to within sniffing distance of the target in the 1998 Test. He scored 52, and Tendulkar hit his most painful and cramped 136. 8216;8216;Saqlain Mushtaq was bowling beautifully. But it was our fault. We lost control. If the batsmen are set, the wicket or spinners shouldn8217;t be issues at Chepauk,8217;8217; says Mongia.

When pointed out that in the on-going Test, the Indian batting, barring Virender Sehwag8217;s 155, has struggled, Mongia countered, 8216;8216;The target here is less. If we don8217;t get bogged down, we can make it easily.8217;8217;

It8217;s for the Indian batsmen to choose between the two examples on Monday. The heart says it shouldn8217;t be a problem. The head says the 210 remaining is going to be as difficult as chasing down a 300-plus total.
