Debutant Amit Mishra spins India on top

Filed under IndvAus Mohali 2008

Whole team stands at the edge of boundary - waiting for you to lead your side inside the dressing room - since you've bowled the best & dismissed the opposition!

Amit-Mishra-Debut-Test-Australia.jpg That's a dream for any cricketer but what if you do it the very first time you play for your country? well, life can only get tougher from here..

303 first class wickets (in 77 matches) + 2 which he picked in only 3 one day internationals he played back in 2003 against South Africa at Dhaka.. Amit Mishra had crawled his way to the top, and thus, appeared quite & calm as he bowled his looping leg-spinners & occasional googlies which Aussie batsmen hardly had clues about, today here at Mohali. Amit Mishra had made his test debut and announced himself to the cricketing world.

5 wickets out of 10 - in very first innings - only the 6th Indian. One wonders how Amit would sleep tonight.

Shane Watson was another highlight of third day's play in this second test match between India and Australia. Shane always had the ability but this Queenslander, so far in career, had failed to maintain fitness to his large body. He scored 78 entertaining runs (his highest test score) which suggests to me that Australia must consider sending him up the order when the come out to chase forth innings total. Watson looked good for a double century had he received some support from other end.

Zaheer Khan's control over the each delivery he bowled & Brett Lee's resistance in which he played 96 balls - were also mentionable performances of todays play at Mohali.
