Old war horses...

... win again and how. Warne, Kumble and Murali played a major hand in their team wins today. Warne, I think, is the strongest weapon Australia has among their team of invincible. To keep on bowling long spells at his age, that too of such quality tells a lot about the character that he is. Every ball is a wicket taking one & one moment of lapse of concentration for a batsman can spell doom. Sheer Genius.

Kumble and Murali are more hard-working types, but make no mistake, can single handedly win games for you as they have done on innumerable occasions. First-ever test win in South Africa was surely a moment to savor and Kumble made sure he is the man on whom the captain can depend on. Murali has a greater influence on sri lankan fortunes and it showed when the team management opted to bat first just to give him a go at a fourth inning pitch.

All in all, good cricket going on all around. But disappointed to see ashes getting decided so early. After such a great series last year and the hype this year, England was completely outplayed at the end of each test.

Keep it coming...
