Nottingham Cricket Test: India on the Verge of Victory


Team India is back and is back with a bang. Zaheer Khan bowled his heart out as the resistence of vaughan and Collingwood went in vain. Zaheer Khan was simply unplayable, there was no easy runs, and finally it seemed as if Zaheer Khan has realised what he is about. He lead the india bowling attack as a true spearehear. The new ball is what gave India all the Wicket.
All started with Michael Vaughan wicket who fell in most unusual manner. Then it was a simple procession as the Indain bowlers did their job.

Rain God’s Grace

Lords’ Test India vs England
(
19- 23 July 2007)

The Rain God helped India in securing a draw against England. A defeat seemed inevitable but rain came down to the rescue and the match is abandoned. India escaped just by the skin of their teeth as had lost nine of their second inning wickets.

Chasing 380 to win India tumbled early as no partnership contributed much to the Indian course. The performances of Dinesh Karthik and Mahendra Dhoni are the only bright spots of Indian batting although Ganguly and Laxman stood in the middle for a while. At the end of it India where 282 for nine. The second Test starts at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Friday.

For England victory eluded of course can take many positives from the match. The English pace attack seemed strong and capable and Monty shows his capabilities as the new Bedi.

But the star for England was of course Kevin Pieterson for his gritty second innings 134. With out Pietersons’ innings the story might have been different.
