From the Ashes...

It was all like that.A defeat of an innings and 34 runs in the first test match, loss the very important toss and forced to bat in the first innings of the second test,just made 205 runs in a pitch that helps the batsmen too ( if he is patient enough) , even then surpassing all these " back pullers" Indian team Rose from the Ahses.Ya, I am talking about the same thumping win that India had against South Africa at Durban in the second test of the series.
On the beginning of day four both India and the Protease were having equal chances to win the test.South Africa needed 192 more runs while India needed 7 more wickets.It was such a condition that even the cricket pandits could not predict to which side the victory will tilt.I should say that South Africa had a bit more chance as they were having their Kingpin, JH Kallis at the crease.Also AB Devilliers at the other end.But the all started to go in India's way as Kallis failed to survive a vicious bouncer from the antic-loving Sreesanth.then It seemed to be in India's hands as none other could resist India's bowling attack.Only the doubt was still there; till how they have to wait for their celebrations.
Now all the credits go for V.V.S.Laxman for his mighty 96 runs in the second innings to bring the effective Indian total to surpass ३००.Once again he proved that he is the real match winner for team India.
