India won the second test against England!!!
It was a great test match altogether, barring the "jellygate" and the shoulder-barging incident. The famed Indian batting line-up finally delivered- "Big-time". Sourav and Zaheer's successful return to Test cricket imposes us a big question- "When low in confidence, do players need a break to re access their game?". The answer seems to be "Yes" when you see how much Sourav and Zaheer had improved their batting and bowling respectively and more importantly their attitude when playing. Zaheer, out of the test team for a long time, came back strongly and finally performed to the level expected from him by the people and more importantly, Team India.
Cricket lacked such intense games for a long time. Before this test series, all we had were West Indies' tour of England, India's tour of Bangladesh, Bangladesh's tour of SriLanka and India's tour of Ireland- all of which were nothing but a "David Vs Goliath " battle. Just when people started to yawn even when someone said "Test Cricket", Pataudi Series happened.
Thanks a lot for both England Cricket Team and Team India for making this series interesting. Best of luck for the next match. Hope it will too live up to the expectations.
P.S: It's nothing related to Cricket, but Congrats to Gunjan for getting a car. It is just a little "Trick" for getting a "Treat"!!!!
