Clearly showcases Kapil's & Srinath's career.

"Gafoor" says...

Yeah right. We need 3 wkts at 40 on a bad track from potential bowler
like Agarkar to win by an inngs.

If Kumble had bowled like this during Srinath's career, we would
have definitely won. Same with Kapil.

That's why I am so happy with Agarkar's bowling. He ensured that he
bowled so ordinary on this pitch, that in no way he could have been
given *any* credit for this victory. He just happened to be part
of the team. OK I can live with it.

ps: thank god he scored 2 runs. OW some credit would have been given
to his batting

GO COLTS!!!

tapped the keyboard and brought forth:

For completeness's sake, Bangladesh didn't lose their first three home
Tests by an innings. However, their current record is of no gaps
between home innings losses. If they manage to avoid an innings defeat
in their next home match, they will finally get an entry in the main
table above.

Cheers,

Mike
