Okay, so it was the kind of boring, monotonous, ultimately inconsequential home Test that the Indians have long been accused of using to pad their allegedly inflated stats (as much as I like to trash the Aussies, their individual statistics are usually meaningful, and lead to winning matches; not too many Brian Lara type 400-runs in hopelessly drawn Tests on their resume), but since it was two people I like, I will choose to believe they meant something.
First, there was Virender Sehwag back in glorious form, blasting the fastest triple century in Test history against South Africa on a flat, dusty pitch in Chennai. Perhaps even more impressive was his unprecedented feat of having turned 10 successive Test centuries into scores of 150+!
Then, there was Rahul Dravid becoming only the sixth person in history to cross the 10,000 Test run barrier (three of the six are Indian - yay!).
Good things to have happened to two of my favorite Indian cricketers.
