INDIA vs BANGLA

[MAJID_HUSSAIN]

Thats the end of what has been a cakewalk for India as they go on to register yet another series and extend their lead at the top of the ICC Rankings for Tests. Until next time, this is the trio of Shashank, Mayank and Srivathsa signing off. Cheers!
Presentation:
Dhoni: It was a difficult task to get 10 wickets in the 2nd innings because there was nothing in the pitch for the bowlers. Zaheer's spell last evening was remarkable and it did the trick for us. Batsmen had it easy on this wicket because of the slow turn so it was important that we batted well in the 1st innings. Zaheer is a master at reverse swing now so that was the reason why we didn't take the new ball. Ojha chipped in with a beauty to take the wicket of Ashraful. As a side, we could have still done a lot better in this series but hopefully the injuries take a back seat and all the players are fit before the SA series. It is a home series so there will be pressure, we are just looking forward to going out there and putting our best foot forward.
Zaheer: The pitch was getting slower and lower so it was important to stick to the basics on this kind of a wicket. I still need to work on my fitness but happy with the way things are shaping up for me. Yesterday's spell towards the end was extremely crucial. We are all now looking forward to going back home and play the Proteas.
Zaheer Khan is the Man of the Match as well as the Man of the series, for picking up 15 wickets in the series, ending up as the highest wicket taker in the series.
Shakib: I thought 1 hour of bad batting in both innings led to our downfall. There was nothing wrong with the pitch, we just need to introspect as to where we are going wrong and fightback. The form of Mahmudullah, Rahim and Tamim has been a big plus in this series and hopefully we would do well in New Zealand.
Sachin Tendulkar collects a special memento for becoming the 1st cricketer to cross 13,000 runs in Tests.
What a turnaround we've had today and it was Zaheer who was responsible. Things looked hunky dory for Bangladesh until Zaheer struck late on day 3 to remove Siddique and Iqbal in successive overs. Ashraful and Shahadat got through the first hour unscathed but once Shahadat fell, Bangladesh collapsed like a house on fire. The spinners chipped in with 3 wickets before Zaheer finished it all off. With his devastating spell with the old ball, he bowled a 3-wicket maiden before getting rid of the last man after lunch to finish with his first 10-wicket haul. For Bangladesh, its been a familiar story. They were in a position of strength but threw it all away as they failed to capitalise, losing 7 wickets for 22 runs this morning to hand India an easy win.
India win by 10 wickets and win the test series 2-0
