2 good test matches.. who says tests are dead!! (ODIs are on life-support, however)

Both ODIs and 20-20s are very boring to watch nowadays - I've have scant interest now for both these forms.
I disagree.. 20-20 matches during IPL (specially later stages) were a lot of fun. For example, the final was a thriller.. the closely fought mumbai losses against KXIP, RR were exciting.

wn's perfect matches...u-10 players playing 10/10 matches for india  ;D

Remember when we met - I barely remembered what happened in the IPL finals !!! However, I can clearly remember most events in our recent memorable away test wins in Perth, Trent Bridge and JoBurg..... ;)

2 appeals not given by Aleem Dar by Ponty against Smith not given - one padded up, no shot offered, hawk-eye shows it as hitting middle stump and 2nd one glove onto pad and caught by Ambrose !!! - how critical will these be....

Aleem Dar misses 6-7 side-crease no-balls from Ponty. How big will these 6-7 runs be in this tight game !!

That is true.. a five-course meal is always memorable but one can enjoy burger with fries without remembering when one ate them.

must say..the SA selectors took a gamble on the young GS when they made him captain.. he has delivered the goods.

Talent backed .. results followed.

Smith batted like a PSYCHO !!!!

This is what I'm scared of if we have a lead of less than 350. Sanga/Jayawardane can play such an innings.
