As I predicted yesterday Eden Gardens pitch turned violently – Kumble made Pakistan reel – well deserved win for India

As I predicted yesterday, India defeated Pakistan by 195 runs with Anil Kumble making Pak batting lineup reel. He took 7 wickets. Harbhajan Singh took 2 wickets. Balaji took the other wicket.

Eden Gardens turned viscously as I predicted yesterday. http://www.indiadaily

The pitch turned violently and the balls picked up bounce after pitching. This is typical of Eden Gardens. Like before we are glad we could tell you one day earlier that India will win. Saurav, the Kolkata “Dada” got his home-mithai – he and the Indian team is happy as hell!
