King Tendulkar Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: THIS IS THE GREATEST OVERSEAS TEST WIN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS! its a great win but still adelaide test win is better than this one.. Possibly you are correct. However, both performances are brilliant. Crushing sterotypes of india when abroad. Commentators will have to stop barking on about india on overseas tracks. Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: THIS IS THE GREATEST OVERSEAS TEST WIN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS! hmmm...does it top Headingley or Adelaide ? I'd say so. What makes this win so remarkable is that it was achieved by the efforts of the Indian bowlers, and not the batsmen. They bowled superbly as a unit, got early breakthroughs and took wickets at regular intervals. Bowling SA out for their lowest ever total since readmission is truly unbelievable and it's the kind of accomplishment which can make you feel taller when you think about it. In the other significant victories India enjoyed overseas, it was the batsmen who were at the fore front and stole the limelight. Sreesanth bucked the trend and did something that the likes of Srinath could never manage - bowling India to a convincing win in an overseas Test. I'd say his 5/40 is the best performance ever seen by an Indian bowler overseas since Kapil's fiver at Melbourne back in '83. If i had to rank all the overseas wins India have had, the list would look something like this; 1. Wanderers '06 2. Headingley '02 3. Adelaide '04 4. Kingston '06 5. Kandy '01 Link to comment
Dhondy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: THIS IS THE GREATEST OVERSEAS TEST WIN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS! I can't really separate this one from Adelaide. I'll have both, thank you! Link to comment
Dhondy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: THIS IS THE GREATEST OVERSEAS TEST WIN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS! And Pred, no Multan or Rawalpindi on that list? :huh: Link to comment
shailesh Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: THIS IS THE GREATEST OVERSEAS TEST WIN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS! this is as good as Adelaide with Headingley not far behind Link to comment
