Note: This is another rant from a 14-year old girl that was me. Please excuse any childish innocence.
the India vs SA battle is moving on to the limited overs phase...but, i must say tht we did really well in the Test series...it was always said tht India would not do well in away conditions but it was proved wrong...after the massive loss at the Centurion, the way the team fought back was fantastic...they showed some fight back in the 2nd innings of the first test, but it did not work out then...then Durban was superb...after losing the toss and not a very good start to the first innings, they showed gr8 character...and on the final day of the 3rd test, i thought gambhir did a good job...and the other batsmen as well for seeing off the SA bowlers and getting it to a draw...however, i thought they were in for a chance on day 4 after they had got SA to 130-6, but then a not so good bowling display and bad field settings followed....but anyway we have to give Kallis and Co. the credit. I think Kallis deserved the man of the match and M.O.S award...i really appreciate him and his efforts.... drawing a series after defeats in previous times itself is a big step...next step will b to win a series der...this clearly shows how the team has developed and grown into a mature, strong team..This series has been referred to by most of the cricket greats as a series tht defined Test Cricket and gave it gud life…I agree whole-heartedly wid them…it was an excellent series for both sides and well contested by both, an excellent competition, providing a lot of interest for viewers…and as Graeme smith said, the teams were pretty even.
Test cricket lives up to its name..it is:
A test for character
A test for skill
A test for patience
