Eden Gardens, India's Den


what a win! It was a thriller, Harbajhan Rocks, with just minutes to wrap it up the the chief Indian bowler of the Indian side Harbajhan completed the stuffs. Eden Gardens is India's den! I read it some where before the start of this Test that India would definately win in Eden Gardens, cause the previous time South Africans won a match in India they have lost it in the second test and Eden Garden's have been the magical ground for India where India has always pulled out an impossible, 9 years ago Laxman and Dravid turned the match for India from the claws of death to the rocking heavens, which is considered as the best innings ever played in the history of the Game Cricket, in fact the fate of the inevitable Australian team started to change from that very fateful day, India being thrased 1/0 went on to win the serioes in an other thriller in Chennai, Test Cricket is here to stay even if 20/20 dies and gives way to 8 overs Cricket. what a day it was, Dravid and Laxman batted the whole day without giving away the wickets, I was back from my to school and was on top to see that India have not lost any wicket, it was the third time in the history of the game where a team after been asked to follow on have come on top, previously it was England on both the occasions but at least it was quater to half a century back. Harbajhan took a Hatrick ( Ricky Ponting, Gilchrist and Shane Warne, a sharp catch from Sadagopan Ramesh) Laxman and Harbajhan's fairy tail with the Eden Garden's continues, the very psych of the ground and the audience gives them that extra advantage, then It was defeating the No.1 Test team in the World, now its retaining The NO.1 Position India has earned, sad that Dravid could be part of it though he is still in the team, unlucky to miss out due to injury, It was a team effort the credit also goes to Sehwag for the bristling knock , Sachin made an other century, century number 47 in Test, Dhoni for supporting Laxman and in the end creating and havoc to give the big lead and Amit Mishra for turning the ball both ways and others for being sharp in the field. When Harbajan took the Hatrick 9 years back it was the man in silly point Sadagopan Ramesh's sharp catch that helped Harbajhan complete the Hatrick this time in silly point it was Subramanium Badrinath's Jumping catch that added the pressure on the opponents, both batsmen from Tamil Nadu and close in fielders..this is crazy History Repeats Again.. ...WE ROCK! flaunt it, WE ARE NO.1
