Ah! Does it get any better than this?
A nail-biting draw achieved by England in SA when the cricket lovers world over held their breath...Onions surviving the last over especially the caught behind appeal on the penultimate delivery...
Australia snatching a brilliant victory from the jaws of defeat against the irrepressible Pakistan... Hussey and Hauritz scripting an unlikely victory...Hauritz doing a Kumble, but for a winning cause by bowling with a bandaged finger...
Simply Superb!It just doesnt get better than this...
Give me this any day over the T20 or ODI World Cup!

Why is it that much is written about Test cricket v/s T20, esp in the blog world (comparisons like Scotch v/s country liquor etc.). So little of it is actually played.
I feel - if the market wants deshi, so be it. Why should those poor players toil for 5 days for a handful of old elite Scotch connoisseurs.
MJ - looks like u missed the 2nd test between SA & Ind. I am sure Yuvi would give his right hand, left leg - u name it to be a part of history at eden gardens than hit his sixes in some city to some bowler and against some team....
I remember Dravid b Akram in Chennai first test with that inswinging full ball which squared up dravid and 'then' cut late to kiss his off stump....the stumps were fully covered by dravid and akram actually had to run to the other side of the wicket to see if the ball had done what he planned.
T20 - who cares!
