End of 33 Years Stink: India won Test Match in New Zealand

Fantastic! Fabulous! What should be said about this indian cricket team? It is on the brink of breaking one after another impasse in a tandem. Here is one more. India have registered their first test win in New Zealand in last 33 years. Today, just few minutes ago, India beat kiwis by 10 wickets at Hamilton. Now the next goal is to win the series .India has not win test series in New Zealand for last 43 years. But watching the performance of our team in this match, it does not seem very onerous task, though not quite easy one too. There were both black and white shades in the team performance. Our batsman batted with apt,authority and technique.They, especially Rahul and Sachin,showed a great temprament. They proved why they are called "Wall" and "Master" respectively.To succeed in test match, a batsman has to be very strong in defense, specially going on backfoot, and kiwis were lacking in this. Though Dhoni made 47, but he faced difficulties throughout his innings.Even Zaheer Khan scored a quick fifty. From New Zealand side,at the start of the 4th day Daniel Flynn played a lone hand for New Zealand with his third Test half-century. Then Brendon did a fine job to save innings defeat. Our bowlers did good job by taking early wickets, but they failed to wipe up the tail in both innings. That has been a major concern of indian team for a long time, in both forms of the game. Harbhajan Singh took 6 wickets , 5 of which on 4th day.Sachin gotb man of the match for fantastic 160 in first innings. Sachin has now equalled Don Bradman's record of scoring more than 150 runs in an inning of test match 18 times.
Now lets hope that India keep on winning the second match, and the series...
