Kingston, Jun 23: It's the day-four of the first match between India-West Indies series and now the onus now lies on the Indian bowlers to give it a fiinsih as WI best batting pair that has exhibited good partnership so far is still at the crease.

Spinners have their roles made easy with the pitch likely to become spinner-friendly on Thursday and they have to only strike within first hour of the game to get a breakthrough.

Dravid as always batted powerfully when India needed it the most on Wednesday June 22. The innings very wekk may be one of his best. Speaking after the game Dravid said that it was a satisfying to score a century and the runs came through sheer hardwork against gritty WI bowlers. It was a constant battle between the mind and body with heat adding on to the gruelling session, he added.

I also knew that Amit Mishra could bat and he hung in there. He works hard on his batting and once he settled in, it was easy for him. Now on Thursday we need to break the partnership of Darren Bravo and Chanderpaul who have ensured WI remain in the game. We need to bowl in the right areas, Dravid analyzed.

Dhoni and Praveen Kumar's negligent shots cost India otherwise total could have easily reached 350. However, Indian bowlers chipped in by picking up some quick wickets putting a break to blitzkrieg by Barath and Simmons.
