Quite obvious isn't it ? I thought also deserved the Man Of The Match Award for a superb demo of an ideal 5th day decent track bowling performance. This was no minefield, nor was it the Kolkata effect. It was just the skill and determination of one man. No not one man. One glorious Champion. I'm sure there will continue to be critics of his bowling forever but there can be no doubt he is the greatest bowler India has ever produced and probably our greatest match-winner.
But the Man Of The Match went to Rahul Dravid and I'm not complaining. How can you when a man has scored 2 100s in the same game each very important and very dissimilar ...
In the last Test Kamran Akmal who was the Man Of the Last Day won the MOM. This time it was RS Dravid who was the Man of Day One. Of course, he narrowly missed out on Days 3 and 4 as well, so indeed it was no surprise. Clearly, while in the first Test the one who had the lat laugh took the cake, here it was the one who laid the foundation.
What is really encouraging from India's point of view is that 6 different players so far have won the Day - Balaji, Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Karthik, Kumble - so clearly the whole team is contributing.
