After poor 1st innings we almost lost the match... Our batting is below par in this match... We need to do better in next game...

Line-up : Only one Change... Bishan Bedi replace VVS Laxman and he will bat at no.11....

Gordon Greenidge in for Richie Richardson, no other change to a winning team.

Really tight at the top, only one point in it; I imagine that when our two sides meet, it'll be a serious game of cricket.

We did a good job by bowling them all out below 250 but our batsmen let us down once again.

Sachin Tendulkar shelved his natural aggression to grind out 144 against Sri Lanka's spin-heavy attack. It was for the best because India ended up scoring a mammoth 533.

George Headley led West Indies' fightback with a superb 173. They managed an underwhelming lead of 182, but sometimes that seems to be enough given they bowling attack they have.

As expected, the West Indian bowlers didn't make England's job easy, but Ian Botham saw it done in the end.

We almost lost the match. 3rd close match in a row. We took a big lead in 1st innings which helped us to restrict the final total as low as 183. Awesome win in the end.
