Test Over : India Grounded
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
First Test Match Between India and Southafrica got over by India suffering defeat by innings. Followed On After Five years , it was not question of would India loose but more question of when?.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar did give a strong fight scoring his 46th century but it was not enough even to make southafrica bat again.
Vijay showed his inexperience by attempting a shot which was not needed , badrinath who scored fifty in first innings didnt survive enough to reach double figures and dhoni too fall short of his usual fighting spirits.
Harbhajan , Zaheer , Saha did their best scoring in 30s but in the end India was grounded by some classy batting and ruthless bowling.
It is said that when all goes well no one remembers the pillars of strength and when in misery one misses them. Similar thing can be said about India who dearly misses laxman and dravid , the naseerudin and om puri of Indian cricket.
Often forgotten this people are walls of Indian Cricket and without them playing against strong side become nightmare as seen in first test match.
By now media would have gone for kill slamming every one in the team. Lets hope in second test India performs much better.
