for all the talks of test merited result…i am happy that it was draw not for our batsmen but for our bowlers who surprised everybody by taking 20 wickets and kept us in game otherwise they would have to carry the burden to get us back in to the series coz i have lost faith in our “flabby middle order”…

Switching the batting spots of Sachin and Laxman will not happen. Even for that matter, Ganguly and Laxman – switch will not happen. Ganguly wants his No. 5 slot. Laxman or for that matter any batsmen in No.6 must shepherd the Indian tail enders.

The bottom line of the first test – the fab four Indian middle order failed. Zaheer and Kumble need to bowl better. If Panesar can cause so much problems, where is Kumble with 500+ wickets ?

In the commentary – there was a question to Holding – comparing Indian middle order and the famous WI middle order. Holding mentioned that WI would have made the 380 runs in the last innings and they did it once 344 for 2 and won the test.
