INDIA WINS ATLAST

Sreesanth breaks into a jig after smashing Nel for a six, 1st Test, Johannesburg, 3rd day, December 17, 2006
Now here I am, pressing F5 every 30 seconds, waiting for Indian Institute of Foreign Trade(IIFT) results, I have nothing more interesting than to write a blog. India has at last won a test in South Africa(We have won in Australia but not in South Africa) . The good point in this victory was that, we cannot pinpoint on a particular player to have won the match singlehandedly. It was more of a team effort that paid India the goods. Let us now look at the individual performances of the match.

Sourav Ganguly:
The comeback man, who played with guts in the game scored a 51* in the first innings. The very fact that he ran out of partners shows his grit and determination.

VVS Laxman:
The man who demolished the Aussies is now back to torment the South Africans. His technique is very good and he is the man for our middle order. His 75 in the second innings helped us stretch our lead to more than 400, an important psychological barrier.

Sreeshanth:
This dancer boy from Kerala showed us the character to be shown on these kind of pitches. He never gives up . His 5-wicket haul in the first innings virtually sealed the match in our favour.

Sachin Tendulkar:
Our Master batsman showed hints of his old form during his first innings knock of 44. Lets see how he performs in the rest of the series.

I am looking forward to good knocks from Sehwag and Dravid. They are due for a long time.

Dhoni has to play his role of a cameo like a quickfire 70-80.

Zaheer and Kumble are bowling well and if they continue so, India has the chance to win the test series.

Come on INDIA dhikado !!!!!!!!
