Gros Islet (St Lucia), June 15 (IANS) Two Tests, two draws. It could so easily have been two wins, 2-0 for India in the four-Test series against West Indies with two to go.

If the first Test at Antigua was disappointing, there the last wicket pair of Fidel Edwards and Corey Collymore thwarted India, the second which ended on Wednesday at St Lucia, where one whole day's play was washed out, was heart-breaking.

But this Indian team, whatever the hurt inside, believes in looking at the positives. And that's what skipper Rahul Dravid focused on as the team prepares for the next two Tests, in St Kitts (June 22-26) and Kingston, Jamaica (June 30-July 4).

"We can take a lot of heart from this performance," said Dravid. "A lot of confidence. If we play good cricket, we can win. If we hadn't lost 90 overs (the fourth-day washout) we'd have got the win."

Dravid did not agree with the view that the Indian bowling was inadequate, given that in two successive Tests it had failed to bowl out the West Indians in the fourth innings.

"I don't agree that we lack the finishing touch," he said. "It's a very creditable effort to take 17 wickets on this wicket in four days, 200 overs. There wasn't much in it, low bounce, slow with some spin...

"The difference between here and Antigua was (the nature of the wicket)... I got more overs from the spinners here."

Dravid, though, felt there could be improvement in the fielding, especially close-in catching. "I'm sure we can get better but all in all, the boys are doing a good job.

"But on a day like this, in which we have to get a side out in 90 overs, we have to make sure that some of those half-chances get to stick."

Dravid had a special word for Virender Sehwag's efforts with the ball, his 30-over spell in the second innings. Sehwag hasn't bowled more than 12 in a Test innings before and that was in the first Test in Antigua!

Said Rahul: "Viru bowls a lovely line for an off-spinner, great to see him bowl so consistently. He didn't bowl too many loose balls. He'll certainly get some confidence out of this."
