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.

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,
