How Time Flies!!!

Some superhuman batting by VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid and some magical spin-bowling by Harbhajan Singh brought that historic test  win over Australia from an impossible situation on March 15, 2001. Today, i.e. on March 15 2011, our cricket-loving nation celebrates the 10th anniversary of the "epic win" that had put a stop  to Australia's invincible run of 16 consecutive test wins and shown the world that Australia CAN be beaten. The nation salutes the gritty Captain Sourav Ganguly who led the team to victory with his never-say-die attitude!
I cant believe its 10 years already!! Time does fly!! The Telegraph today reminisces that great win with articles, interviews and pictures where Sourav, Laxman and Dravid look all so young and  different. I loved that old Team India that had more soul and commitment in it.

  1. Really, time does fly past. Today, Sourav is a history that everybody wants to forget. What about the rest of the teammates?

  2. I dont think anybody other than a few officials and opponent captains want to forget Sourav!! His days were the most glorious days of Indian Cricket!!
