Just curious ! if it had not rained, IYO who would have won the second test at Chennai?
It's just pure speculation like 90% of the threads, which is great.tooextracool said:another futile thread that shouldnt have been created....

"This game was fifty-fifty, in the balance. Anybody could have won. We were well-placed, chasing 200, but it could have gone either way.

You may find this difficult to believe, but someone said here yesterday that he was happy with the 'washout' in Chennai because there had been enough 'mini' climaxes during the first four days !!!Jono said:I think it was 50:50, that's why its so tragic.
I can honestly say I would of rathered Australia win on the 5th day, then rain wash out the draw. I just really wanted to see an end to a great match.
