Thrilling one-wicket win against Aussies
hats off to Laxman & Ishant Sharma
VVS Laxman overcame his sore back to become the hero of a nail-biting one-wicket victory for India, who retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in dramatic fashion in Mohali. In one of the most memorable finishes in recent history, Pragyan Ojha picked up two leg-byes off Mitchell Johnson to seal the result, which until that delivery could also have been a tie or an Australian win.
The match was firmly in Australia's grasp when the No. 10 Ishant Sharma joined Laxman with 92 runs still required, but the pair ground Australia down and left a dejected Ricky Ponting still winless as a Test captain in India. The visitors' hopes were raised again when Ben Hilfenhaus (4 for 57) trapped Ishant lbw - although the ball would have missed leg stump - with 11 runs needed.

Wrong Umpiring all the times in match ICC should take action against the umpires
Now the stiff necked australians know who their daddy is. This was the payback for sydney. Never seen such a match where it was difficult to look at the match and impossible to look away. The Umpiring was really pathetic. The referral system should be standard feature in the future.
Congrats...Laxman has once again, proved himself to be the most dependable batsman of all the Indian Team.
Australia lose - so it must be a great day! :P
well done India!!!...
It was a Very Very Special Innings from Laxman indeed!
Another Strong Wall after Dravid.....
we shall WIN by 2-0 in the Test and 3-0 in ODI home series...this form shall continue in the World Cup 2011 as well.

WK he is the bestman for all seasons :)
We are talking about captaining India here, not your life.
Are you better or not?
u are right ----- WK alhumdullah I am better then Dhoni on my life
oh ok.. Let me know bestman when you think you can do a better job than DHoni and we will make you the captain, ok?
He has proved himself as a best captain(of India) in all three versions of this game.
his other role will be to drop catches, getting out without scoring runs and finally speaking in the closing ceremony, that is too much for him,
no --- i dont know what is role of Dhoni in Test Match ---- only captain
lol bestman. you want to change him because he win games?
who else u want as captain of India, please tell us we will make him captain of India.
bestman you want to be the captain?
