India have found paradise in Eden Gardens again with a crushing 195-run victory over Pakistan. This is the fifth time since I started watching cricket that they have attained this joy - England in 1993, Australia in 1998 and 2001 and South Africa in 2004 prior to this. Like most of those past occasions, Anil Kumble did the trick again. Another super super effort from India's greatest bowler.
Also the fact that Harbhajan picked up only 4 wickets in the match should not go against him for the partnership between the spin twins was quite superb. And a good effort by Balaji too - few crucial aggressive spells. Ganguly's captaincy for a change was quite impressive.
India have the advantage going into Bangalore. They would do well to avoid complacency however.
