Eden Gardens : India is back at No.1

India return SA with the same coin by defeating them with an Innings and 54 runs to spare. In my previous post I wrote that it is not win or loss but the margin that counts.

In this test, Indians came out hard on SA, knowing that a loss would bring them to No.2 in tests. It is good to rise in rankings in your home country, but to come down is definitely not encouraging.

 

Any way this has been a encouraging news this week after all the sad news of loss of life of Jawans and Villagers in naxal hit violence.

Just like cricket in all aspects of life, we need confidence.

Nagpur Test. What a defeat.

South Africa Beat India in the Cricket test at Nagpur by an innings and 6 runs.

It is not the matter of win or loss, each game has it. It is the margin that counts.

1. South Africa had just two bats men who scored almost all the runs.

2. India had 22 players who could not score that many runs.

3. And we have the best batting line up. :(

4. No comments by the players after the loss.

5. We lost in four days on a batting pitch.

So let us rethink next time on cricket and our players who cannot deliver when it is needed most.
