A Most Forgettable Test Match

The Kanpur Test had, for me, ended on the first day itself, so it was a great relief that such a soporific display of Test Match Cricket was finally brought to an end.

The pitch was terrible; the less said about it the better. And there are people who say the Mumbai wicket was really bad: well take your pick, I'd take Mumbai over Kanpur any day.

South Africa played with a negative mindset no doubt; but India did no better; they had some chance to show some innovation and make the match interesting but flatly refused.

Hopefully, Kolkata will provide a sporting wicket as it always has and even 2 teams who are not too keen on winning will be forced to play some positive cricket.

Again, I wholeheartedly thank Sehwag for providing the saving grace in this utterly forgettable piece of Test Match Cricket
