WHAT A DAY OF CRICkET

It was a great day of intriguing test cricket . Two good spinners showing their craftsmanship.Two fast bowlers showing their skills.
Firstly the spinners and their subtle variations which really bamboozled the FAB 4 of the India who are known to be the best in the business against spin bowling with a vast amount of experience and Runs against their name.MENDIS the name itself is a mystery for the Indian batsmen as they are unable to unfold the web of his bowling .In two tests he has 18 victims to his name n has the wall n Very Very Special 4 times . Thats not any luck or a fluke but the pure subtle variations n the spin n the way he uses the fingers with the control that pigeon possessed as a fast bowler .But this guy has got it at the start of his glorious career going to happen in the coming years ................Murali n mahela are surprised at the way mendis had responded .Another Five for on the flat track is a superb achievement by any standards.

Now coming towards the Fast bowlers -----ntini n kallis

Ntini was below par for most of the year and was underrated as a bowler with the reign of steyn but he delivered when it was needed the most when the batsmen have failed and giving a fare advantage to the england under the new captain KEVIN who are fighting for the pride having nothing to loose. He led from the front scoring a ton and taking england to a position from where they could control the match but then came the spell from kallis which removed three quick wickets to give proteas a ray of hope to get back into the match . the wickets he removed were of KEV, FReddie, and collingwood all capable of single handedly taking the match away from proteas.

THIS REALLY LEAVES US FOR A PERFECT WEEKEND WITH TWO GOOD TEST MATCHES BEING POISED PERFECTLY
