You obviously didn't see the test in Sydney in 2008? If they'd have got one wicket, the last three batsman would have been lucky to survive. There was no risk in bowling the last four overs so I can't understand why they didn't. I've never seen a draw offered with fewer than ten overs to bowl.
But with Dhoni & Ashwin at the crease it was unlikely. Both have Test hundreds in their careers which points to being no donkey with the bat. Get one of them out then yes by all means play through.
