If conducted a poll about the thrill of t20 and test games, surely many will vote for the shorter format but just today Eden Garden witnessed that how rapidly a test match can go against expectations. After a long wait of 3 bad days Indian camp must be having some hopes to save the match. After dismissing tail in 14 runs and scoring 86 runs without any loss of wicket. Most important that if you pr
edict that Sehvag kept going at this rate Indi "would" HAVE scored 450 run till 4th day's stumps.
But how remarkably English trio of Finn, Swann and Anderson turned the table really shows the cricketing spirit and their confidence after Mumbai test. Those 17 overs of English attack after the lunch was enough to break nerves of Indian batsmen.
After a having a Joyful Tea It was a regular job to dismiss the tail and beat India by an Innings. But Ashwin stood tall with a calm head on his shoulder . He displayed the Class of a frontline batsmen and made important contribution with his 83 runs including 13 fours. Ishant Sharma also surprised by surviving more than 50 balls which the great Indian middle order failed to do.
At the end of the day its just a delay in English victory, And Indians really need some magic to make the series 2-2 or 2-1.
Cauz watching the Indian lineup collapse in two successive test ,It seems the problem is not with the technique but of Mindset.
