Yes, it was probably all-round performances, but it would have been nice to get a few more wickets. If I would have played in Delhi, I would have definitely taken a few more wickets, because that was a good wicket to bowl on. It was turning and bouncing in Delhi, which is ideal for a spin bowler. I missed out on that game because I was injured. I had to take injections to feel better for the next game. So I did whatever was required of me to get fit for the next game. It would have been nice to get another 8 or 10 wickets, but I am still happy that I took 15 wickets. All the wickets were important and it came at the right time, whenever the team required it.

That's a pretty easy statement to make when you didn't play on a pitch that conceded 1200 runs for 17 first innings wickets.

To be fair Taips, India only really tripped between the 2 SA series in 2000-02, losing 3 tests home and away. Last 3 years it's been an even keel, Winning 3 tests and losing 3 - winning, losing and drawing a rubber each. This team has got a lot of the footing back in. I think the current Indian team will play much better in the coming years against SA when next we meet.

True, but only to a point, unless you're suggesting Steve Bucknor will be around for another 50 years. By his own admission, he clearly succumbed to Aussie attractions and screwed India twice, the spiteful old man. Ta, ta IPL Laughing

Bhajji's just jealous that he'll never be able to cash in on a book deal. He's illiterate.
