Poms starring down the barrel ! Jumbo gets into the act again !!

Wow !! what a turn of events? India came out positively in the morning and even Rahul Dravid scored freely and that said it all. There was the usual handy contribution from Indian tail and a pretty good, attacking innings from Pathan. He took on Monty and it was a great sight and I always felt that Indian batsmen gave too much respect to the Sardar in Nagpur, in his debut test.
Then, it was 'Jumbo' on the prowl and the defensive mind set of England too contributed to their woes. I saw that magical over which Kumble bowled to Freddie when he beat him 6 out of 6 times. Flintoff had nothing more than a sheepish grin to offer. Kumble was at his best and one more wicket could have really tilted it but Flintoff gritted his teeth and hung in.
Unless India repeats its mistake in the same ground against Pak a season ago or weather intervenes, the chances of an Indian win look bright. But, I have seen many a heart break and a let down and won't count them in - unless I see the last wicket falling and the last run being scored. Also, as well as Bhajji has bowled in the 2nd inning, he is still below par and Flintoff can challenge him easily. I will bet on Munaf to partner with AK rather than Bhajji, in the tail demolition. All in all, another great day for test cricket is possible and I am smacking my lips.
