1-1

This series is really sapping emotions out of me.

All I can say about this test was ,India never looked in a place to win this one,their bowling was below standards ,batting ''which is supposed to be the forte of Indian Cricket'' is struggling ''infact struggling is an understatement with the amount of DUCKS visible on the Indian score card''.

Full marks to South Africa in all the departments ,they really came back strong on the Indians and in every right they deserved to win this one.

Eveything said and done ,I would like to make a mention of Shreeshant ,this guy really showed the courage in times of adversity ,only luck didnt favour him this time else we could have had a draw on our hands all thanks to the one man army called Shreeshant.

700 for Shane

700 WICKETS FOR MR.WARNE

SHANE WARNE 's Cricketing career has not been free of controversies and scandals,the lowest point of his career was when he was charged with 1 year ban for failing a Dope test during the 2003 World Cup.

But he bounced back,setting aside the termoil in his personal life. AND all this had only made him go from strenght to strenght .

After the 3th test of the Ashes ,Shane had announced his retirement.

AND the 4th test was a very special game for him as we was playing on his home ground for the last time and also achieved the milestone of taking 700 test wickets .

AUSTRALIA LEADS THE ASHES SERIES 4-0 AGAINST ENGLAND ,hoping for a clean sweep

JANUARY 2,2007 WILL BE THE DATE ON WHICH CURTAINS WILL BE CLOSED, ON YET ANOTHER LEGEND IN THE GAME OF CRICKET.AND I AM SURE HIS NAME FROM THE RECORDS BOOKS WON'T BE EASILY REPLACED.

WISHING YOU A GREAT LIFE AHEAD ...........

I NEED BREAKDANCE LESSONS

THE NAME IS SHREESHANT

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VICTORY AND DEFEAT FOR THE TWO TEAMS,IN THE 1ST TEST WAS SHREESHANT.

He played a crucial role in lifting up the spirits of the Indian team and also uprooting the South African wickets both in the 1st and 2nd innings.

HATS OFF TO HIM ,I AM SURE HE HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD........

''HIS ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS''

''I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH GANGULY'',UNLESS AND UNTIL INDIA IS WINNING

Personally I am not a big fan of SAURAV GANGULY ,as a matter of fact I didnt even support the decision of the selectors of including him in the test team.

BUT after his performance in the practise match and the first test '' both of which INDIA WON'' I have no problems with him,infact I congratulate him for his comeback and I just hope the luck which he has bought to the team remains for the days to come.

HE HAS ANOTHER FAN NOW

STORY BEFORE THE FIRST TEST

THE LAST POST REALLY TOOK OUT EMOTIONS OUT OF ME .

INDIA '' Team India '' lost the 3th as well as 4th one-day, loosing 4-0 to South Africa .BUT THE WIN IN THE 20-20 CRICKET MATCH WAS a pleasent site ,''cause a win is after all a win, for a victory starved fan like me''.
SO the selectors decided to bring back SAURAV GANGULY into the side''i'll leave my personal feelings about him for my next post'' .AND GUESS WHAT INDIA WON ITS PRACTISE MATCH .
AT THIS MOMENT, I WAS JUST GETTING OVER THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE PAST

REST IS HISTORY
