Wins at home fashioned by the seamers are hard to find. Abroad, we have the
Test you mention above (Melbourne '81), two Tests in England in 1986 (though
Maninder also picked up a few crucial wickets there), one in Zim a few
months ago, and one in SL, also recently (Harbhajan, the only spinner in the
side, took only one wicket in that Test).
At home, there was the Test against RSA, the Calcutta Test vs Aus in '98
(though this is a bit of a cheat; Srinath with 8 wickets (IIRC) was the man
of the match, but he was the only seamer! Didn't Ganguly open the bowling?),
and, before that...not sure. I must be missing several Tests along the way,
but there were a few in Kapil's young days. Madras, 1979-80 vs Pak, Madras,
1978-79 vs WI, Bombay, 1981-82 vs Eng.

8. Tell us Fran has Ponting made a mistake in batting?
9. Some crucial mistakes made by the selectors
10. Chappell made a mistake keeping Gambhir
