Mr. Wicket Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 was the date for one of the GREATEST Indian innings ever played seven years ago. http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63999.html SRT produced a thrilling knock as only he can. Gangluddin was phenomenal that game in his destruction of all things slow left arm. But Dravid was beyond parallel on a truly nasty wicket in spitting, green conditions with the ball bouncing and seaming all over the place. Link to comment
Guest Hiten. Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think most of the hard work was done by RSD and SRT (as usual) banked on an easy opportunity for taking. On a serious note, I have seen glimpses of our innings but never got hold onto proper highlights of this game. I actually missed this entire tour as I had recently moved to Canada with no source of catching cricket in this place full of igloos. Can anyone care to upload a proper highlight reel of this game ? Please be courteous and don't be selfish by enjoying this game by yourself...sharing is caring P.S: Salil, how about an anecdote on this innings ? I'll live on that anecdote till someone passes me highlights from this game. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I remember the onslaught at the end of the day by Tendulkar-Ganguly. Poor England boys had to call bad light and run off the field Link to comment

Ram Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dont forget Sanjay's Bangar contribution fellas. On a pitch that was as comfortable as sitting on a bar stool, he toiled away manfully till the pitch eased, taking the body blows and making life relatively easier for the batsman who came after him. I also think this match was also when Dravid made the transition from being a VERY good a batsman (then, he was probably already averaging 50 with the bat in tests) to a truly GREAT batsman.
