Yesterday Zimbabwe's remarkable win was great, as also NZ's.
Today, at Calcutta, both Ganguly and Laxman scored centuries and India declared at 616/5 and took a Pak wicket for 50. Kumble effected the first breakthrough.
Ganguly scored his 14th hundred and Laxman, his 11th. This is a great comeback for Ganguly. His allround performance was good in the last Test. If India wins the series, she may move over to the 3rd position in Tests.
SL were all out for 188. England in reply are 49/1. Sangakkara continued his ominous form with the bat and scored 92. Hoggard took 4/29, wrecking SL. Tomorrow the match will start earlier than scheduled.
India has a different team for Tests, another XI for ODIs and another XI for T20s! Australia, on the other hand, has the same eleven for all formats ! The explanation given is that the Test batsmen like Dravid, Laxman etc are slow starters or they take time to settle down. Anyway, it has been a good disply by India, ( except against Aussies ) in all three formats of late !
