Bengaluru Test Ends In a Draw

Bengaluru Test Ends In a Draw. So what else is new? India held it's nerves didn't it.


Sad, Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed 14 runs short of equalling Brian Lara's world runs record as India on for a draw in the first Test against Australia on Monday and Cameron White picked up his first wicket. What a match for him!!!!

"It is always difficult to start a series in India, so I am happy the way we played this one," said Australia captain Ricky Ponting after the close. "I thought we had a good chance to force a win today, but full credit to India, who batted very well.
"This was a good wicket to play on because there was some bounce till the end. I think we need to improve in a few areas and now have two days to refresh ourselves for Mohali."

Hi Chris! Yeah, sad Sachin couldn't equal Lara's record in this test. Just missed! I am sure he will in the second test match :) As for the poem, I know it's a lovely piece but unfortunately I haven't written it! I have this habit of collecting good quotes and poems, and I found this one there. It's by an anonymous poet. It went well with the meaning of Chriz's post so I quoted it! Anyway, I am glad you liked it! :)

PS. I felt the need to clarify because I wouldn't want to steal someone's credit :)

Thanks and keep coming. Nice blog :)

Yeah it is sad and hope that he would beat Lara in Mohali. And I too have this habit of collecting quotes(not poems though)
Thanks
