India won the second test versus Sri Lanka today to enter the 100 test win club . Out of the older set of test nations, it is the last but one to join this club. Only New Zealand remains and it leads the newer test playing nations with 66 wins to Sri Lanka's 60. I wonder what it took to register ...

Sri Lanka vs India 2009-10 , First Test, Day Five, Motera, Ahmedabad Scorecard The thing which stood out in a positive way, in India's play yesterday, was that Gautam Gambhir wasn't jabbing and pushing at deliveries. Neither was he tentative in moving his feet into position. The test ...
