Yeah. As u put it, the win is really much needed. That took India to No 3 in ICC ranking. The Best india achieved ever. But the whole series was a boring affair.
In Kanpur, If SA were positive from the beginning, it would have been a result oriented match. They cannot escape from defeat.
Hi, In the review it is stated as- "This was a South African team that with the exception of Kallis, Pollock, Ntini and skipper Smith lacked quality players. India, in all fairness, should have won the series easily but they struggled. And in that lies the crux of the matter." I don't think anyone is fully satisfied fully with teams performance. SA is not an easy side to beat. They were playing good enough, not as you said in your review. We should appreciate our boys.
Every time , I see article in rediff, it looks biased...If Sachin performs or not ...He is always appraised , Even Dravid performs consistantly...He always get criticism, although , fact is that ,Today Dravid is back bone Indian team...He is player who has won single handedly , Test match in Adilade...Nobody have even dreamt about that...
It is the fact that Today, Nobody is even nearby to Dravid...
