It was a hectic day for 13 Testcricketers at the Vallabhai Patel Stadium,Ahmedabad ,India today.
England demonstrated a lesson to the IndianBatsmen how to survive tense &ceitical sutuation.
This they did with a normal rate of fast scoring by executing elegant&powerful shots.
It was their first task to put Indians to bat a second time despite the mamoth first innings score they put
forward to England as a challenge.They not only accepted &met the challenge but made a lead of 10 runs
as well.The 5th wicket fell at 199.Alistair Cook&Matt Prior added 141 invaluable runs to return to the
pavilion with a promise of yet another hectic day.
Indeed! a good lesson for the Indians who usially succumb to pressure &concede defeat under similar
situation particularly when they play abroad.
Although this is not unusual in Test Cricket,there was a lot of fuss over a trivial matter in the Stadium as
could be seen from the body languages of the spectatorsThe England supporters even showed comic
Dances ,perhaps ,with a view to mocking at the Indian Cricketers.
This too is not unusual with the cricket spectators all over the World where cricket is being played!
Perhaps,this is also one of the reasons for calling Cricket a Glorious Game of Uncertainty.
With one more full day of 90 overs left ,cricket would be proving it time and again!.
Let us await the outcome of this Glorious game tomorrow at the Vallabhai Patel Stadium.
Bye.
