A Bit of Humble Pie........
Guess its' time to eat some humble pie. India's performance since the second innings of the first test has been consistently good. They were distinctly unlucky to miss winning the first test and are now in the pole position in the second test. Sehwag, playing when the pitch was was at its' best, shrugged of his recent indifferent form to crack a superb 180 and Dravid did what he is so good at - consolidating with a solid 146 - but the real bonus was Kaif's hardworking (although not the most elegant) 148 not out. This will surely go a long way in cementing his place in the middle order (Laxman, Beware!).
Munaf and Kumble are bowling beautifully - guess we should be looking to go 1-0 up in the next three days.....!!
All the momentum gained by the Windies in the ODI series is now gone and the team is now looking like the Windies we have known in the last 3-4 years. All credit to Team India for not allowing the ODI defeat to come in the way of their Test plans.
