What an engrossing test match

Who would say test cricket is boring after watching cricket today? What an engrossing match of test cricket, completely drained with exhaustion watching the match on television, I can only imagine what it would be like in the middle. The match went all the way to the last ball, which everyone thought was in India's kitty for 3 days now. Full credit to South Africa, unfortunate to see them not hitting the winning runs after such a herculean batting effort. Had it not been for MS's captaincy India would have surrendered the match. It's a pity we don't encourage our fast bowlers and do not provide them with enough support, the three fast bowlers were completely drained at the end of the match having bowled 60+ overs each. Hopefully with the Tendulkar mania ending, we start respecting bowlers and prepare sportive pitches at home, at least to begin with for domestic games.

After a very long time, spent the entire weekend at home waiting to watch and watching it fully sitting on the couch only to get up for dinner and toilet breaks. Loved it !
