Oh look what happened - India won the match!
#Can you believe it? India actually were able to defend a target of 100-odd?? Amazing turn of events.
Surprisingly, the match ended in 2 days and 11 overs! A TWO DAY test match?
In light of what happened in the match, Clarke’s 6-wicket haul was probably a blessing in disguise because that made the target a little ‘too easy’ for the Aussies. That means they did not care much about losing wickets. In the end the pressure crept up and they could not do much to avoid defeat.
You know what - VVS finally showed up. When there was not much but pride (and his spot in the side) was at stake. Now, when the selectors re-convene to decide who’s in and who’s out, his name will pop out as ‘The Guy who set up the win’. And so he will be included for at least one more series.
Karthik (the bowler, not the keeper) did well for himself in the chance he got. I think Dravid has more faith in him than Gangs has. And he proved that the captain’s confidence is a big difference maker in a bowler’s performance.
We should have been able to tie the series 2-2 because I really think we could have got 200 runs on the last day in Chennai. But of course, if wishes were horses…..
