I wish I was at Durban

What a turnaround win by this Indian Cricket team in South Africa! After getting a pasting in the first test match, to turn it around immediately in the second test was a significant event yet not totally surprising if you are an Indian Cricket fan. In times gone by, our team would have been pasted yet again and no one would have been surprised. Yes, there would have been some moaning and chest beating among fans at home but then the next home series would come around and India would beat whoever it was they were playing and all would be well with the world again. 

This Indian team is different however and they take pride in doing well at venues where they are not supposed to be able to compete. Perth was an example and now Durban. This team has gone about proving pundits wrong and pleasing diehard fans with their performances. From being humiliated last time around at Durban to winning this match was an amazing turnaround. I wonder how long this will last. This truly is the golden era of Indian cricket. To have such an amazing array of world beating talent around at the same time is just providential and it won't last. As a fan I wish to be able to see this team win abroad and treasure the memories. England in the new year is yet another mouthwatering prospect. Especially with England being in such good form and not so subtly claiming that they are the real No. 1's and not India, it sure is going to be a nail biting contest. I just hope India has the same side unchanged to do battle.

I wish I can make it to England to see our team do battle. MSD and his merry bunch will surely give England a run for its money.  To see something like this live would be awesome. What an absolute screamer!
