REJOICE WE CONQUER. Review on Cricket

BUT THE WAIT WAS WORTH AS WE WON THE SERIES NOT BY FLUCK OR LUCK.

INFACT LUCK WAS NOT WITH US AS WE COULD HAVE WON 2-0 OR 3-0.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE WON.I STARTED FOLLOWING THE SERIES ONLY AFTER THE 1ST TEST AS I THOUGHT THAT AFTER THE 1 DAY SERIES WE WOULD SURELY NOT WITH THE TEST SERIES; BUT THE WAY IN WHICH WE DREW THE FIRST TEST AND DRAVID'S VALIENT BATTING URGED ME TO WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS. I SAW THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND TEST AND COULD'NT BELIEVE OUR LUCK .WE WERE AGGRESIVE AND STAMPED OUR AUTHORITY IN EACH SESSION BUT COULDN'T DEFY LUCK AND LARA ONCE AGAIN HE SHOWED US WHY HE IS RESPECTED SO MUCH. THE INDIES FOUGHT BACK IN THE 3RD TEST. THEY SHOWED THAT THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL AND THE TALENT TO GO A LONG WAY AND WITH THE WORLD CUP IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD THEY MIGHT PROVE TO BE THE DARK HORSES OF THE TOURNAMENT.

THE 4TH GAME WAS VERY INTERESTING AS THE PITCH DID LOOK SUSPICIOUS.IT SUPPORTED THE BOWLERS AND AFTER INDIA'S FIRST INNING TOTAL, I THOUGHT HISTORY MAY REPEAT ITSELF, BUT OUR BOWLERS AND ESPECIALLY HARBHAJAN BROUGHT US BACK IN THE GAME.

THE 2ND INNINGS HAS TO GO TO KUMBLE FOR HIS SHEER COMMITMENT AND NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE. BUT THE MAIN GUIDING FORCE BEHIND OUR VICTORY WAS DRAVID. THE WALL SEEMS TO GET STRONGER AND STRONGER WITH EVERY SERIES.HE IS THAT PILLAR OF INDIAN CRICKET THAT IS VERY HARD TO BREAK AND IT IS DUE TO THIS PILLAR THAT THE INDIAN BATTING IS STILL STANDING OTHERWISE THEY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY BATSMEN IN THE TEAM THAT YOU CAN RELY TO TAKE US TO SAFETY. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT A FEW BATS MEN AND WOULD APPRECIATE REPLY . V.SEHWAG , THE FLAMBOYANT OPENER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS CONVINSING AS HE USE TO BE.YUVRAJ SINGH IS NOT PLAYING TO HIS POTENTIAL EVEN AFTER PLAYING SO WELL IN 1 DAYERS AND PLAYING SO MANY TESTS.TENDULKAR CAN'T SEEM TO GET HIS MAGIC BACK AND I DON'T THINK HE WILL BE AT HIS BEST NOW AS 16 YEARS OF CONTINOUS CRICKET HAS TAKEN ITS TOL ON HIS BODY.
