Notes
1420 +15 extras 1435 and thus lost the match by 305 run and an innings. But in the 2nd innings Sachin Eleven showed great mettle and tried to come back but remained failure though impressed. Individually Gavaskar Eleven has 3 giants Gavaskar,Merchant ,Hazare and they made huge difference. In the 1st innings Nisar,Amar ,Kapil, Gupte, Vinu bowled with great passion and class and restricted Sachin Eleven only on 380 in the 1st innings . In the 2nd innings Dravid ,Sachin and Laxman played big innings and if Kohli , Vengeserkar Sehwag would play big innings then the scenario would be different but alas against quality bowler Sehwag yes two triplian could not play with that height . Post Match Interview: Anchor : Sachin sorry that your team lost the match with very big margin What do you say ? Sachin: Yes it’s a big defeat but you need to mind the fact that we were played against so formidable team and against our role models. Anchor: What are the major reason you count for this sheer defeat ? Sachin: Yeah in the 1st innings we couldn’t play according to merit. And in the 1st innings the bowling attack was tight greatly and in the 2nd innings we played to adopt Test ‘s true nature and succeeded but couldn’t fulfil the loss of the 1st innings. Anchor- What extra reason do you count here of defeat ? Sachin: Yes the major reason I felt that the impact of the ODIs ,T20 that thrashes the generation of our cricketers to get runs in each ball and under it we makes mistakes but the generation of Golden Era is known for patience and the text book style that makes them the Angel. Interview : Anchor : Mr Gavaskar congratulations for this great victory and what is the secret of this great victory ? Gavaskar: Well we have trained in a school where you have to play only grounded shot. To lift the ball is an offense according to our Cricket Gurus. Their principle is if you lift the ball up to ground then the ball would be over the boundary not above the fielder . Because you can’t beat the fielder then there would be the catch possibility and you have seen that scene when for the 1st time after 400 plus played some un textual strokes and I gained quick runs ,the spectators got so much entertainment and excited me to play such kind of more shots and I played and got some sixes and fours but in short while gifted my wicket while I was in very much near to complete 500 . Anchor – What do you say about your bowling side ? Gavaskar: Yes our bowling is greater than rivals. We have great bowlers who have the figure with class and they proved it all diligently. Anchor: Are you agree on the name of the Match there was not match and the match ended one sidedly ? Gavaskar: No ,nay,it’s not fair to say . The opponent is equipped with great players but we play rather good than them . And to stick with the traditional custom it got possible. Anchor : Thank sir *NK Sevak “Sanatan”
