Well... first of all thanks to the admin team for enabling blogs here...

Wanted to blog for quite some time now but that lazy soul inside me always won the battle...

Anyways here I am, my first blog (well not exactly, I had written one earlier which I never bothered to keep updated) will be on Sports and what better topic to vent out my anger and frustration after the first test...

With due respect to Pakistan, India rightly started as favourites at Mohali, skittled Pakistan for 312 on first day then Sehwag showed what he is made up of on second day. But then...

Our bowlers (read Balaji) managed to somehow cause problems to Pakistan's top order but then out came Razzaq and Kamran Akmal. What an innings... Akmal is Pakistan's future. Watch out for this guy. He is here to stay.

Having said this, Razzaq too played his part. His batting in second innings was in stark contrast to what he did in first innings. He literally frustrated likes of Kumble and company in second innings.

Well don't accuse me of finding faults but Indian captain left lots of questions to be answered with the way he handled Pakistan's second innings, specially on fifth day. Why were we not attacking? Why was Balaji not bowled as much as he was in first innings? Why? Why? Why?

Anyways, what is past is past. Hopefully, Bhajji comes in for Zaheer in tomorrow's test at Eden Gardens and bowls his magical spell again ( 15 wickets against Aussies ) and hopefully Laxman sheds his deep slumber to once again become top-scoring Indian. Here we go, on the ground which is synonym with Indian Cricket History...

All the best India... and well done Pakistan...

Signing off...
