Indians draw first blood
Aaaaalllll right I remember writing a post about the Indian defeat in the one day series. Also I remember mentioning that the team doesn't lack quality or skill, just motivation. The return of some arrogant confidence(Ganguly & Laxman) along with a steady, unfallible attack weapon(Kumble & Zaheer) has done wonders for India.
If someone had mentioned a pacer friendly wicket and India's one day defeat before the test series the pundits would have predicted 1 thing only "Defeated India". And now two words "Bang Bang !", India has come back with a bang and drawn first blood in the test series to go up 1-0. People who've made a difference are the ones coming back to the Indian team after being treated like Test debutants who've scored ducks in both innings of their first test(No offence to Marvan Attapatu). Ganguly, Laxman, Kumble, Zaheer the 4 people experienced people making a comeback has added to the inexperience of the team and strengthened the basic structure in order for the youngsters to take off, Shreeshanth took off in this match VRV,Munaf are still left.
I wonder what will be the scenario if the other big guns (dravid,tendulkar,sehwag,dhoni & pathan) start firing. The scene is better and motivation seems to be there.
Go India, Bang Bang !
