India need to fire on all cylinders

After being hammered for 247 runs with only the wicket of LouVincent in the kitty, Rahul Dravid''s options for the second day arethree-fold.First make use of the new ball, tell Zaheer and Balaji tomake use of the early lateral movement and bounce, bowl straight and get rid ofStyris who has still not settled down.The second approach would beto dry up the runs by asking the bowlers to bowl to the field and come out withimaginative field placements.Thirdly, Dravid needs to have a peptalk with the spin duo of Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble and ask them to attackand keep the runs down at the same time. And perhaps try Sachin and Sehwag inbursts. On a track that is not offering great assistance to thebowlers, the idea is to dry up the runs and elicit false shots from thebatsmen.There is another hard day in store for the Indians withStephen Fleming, Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan and the stubborn Daniel Vettoristill to follow.Having said that India also have to bat two completedays to save the Test.The spotlight is already on Rahul Dravid, forwhom Test captaincy has been an ordeal by fire. ''The Wall'' wasIndia''s only success story at Ahmedabad and Dravid will have to do the balancingact like a trapeze artist between his batting and the demands ofcaptaincy.
