Hi Guys

It has been a busy few days and I haven’t had the time to write much on my blog especially with my trip to India coming up in a couple of weeks time. What a match this was. India thoroughly deserved a win here after they were denied one at the SCG. Two changes in the team composition paid high dividends. In my previous post before the start of the SCG test, I had mentioned to bring in my man Sehwag. The Indian team management spent 2 matches on dud performances from Yuvraj and Jaffer to realise their mistakes.

Irfan Pathan was another big selection in the team. His all-round performance was the key to India’s win. His bowling in both the innings was crucial in halting Australia’s much-hyped batting lineup. His batting, especially in the second innings, just goes to prove why he is India’s next Kapil Dev. This isn’t really a comparison, it is a fact. For Indians, Kapil Dev has been the greatest all-rounder that the country has produced. Irfan Pathan is perhaps the next best.
