We are like this only !!!! Hail Steyn!

Exactly as expected, India started a series on a disastrous note. 

India closed the first day of the tour at 136/9 at Centurion Park, and effectively kicked themselves right out of the match.

Dale Steyn, once again, is the missile launcher from the Smith Army that got the job done (with due regards to Morkel's five-for). Bagging three of the most prized wickets in today's Cricketing world in a single session - Sehwag, Tendulkar and Laxman - he has basically thrown India in the trash can already....and not the first time in memory that he has done so.

I do not see India even manage a draw from this point on....(which is just 40 overs into the match, by the way). Indians do die quick when they do, don't they? :)

Should we look to the second Test, now that this one is a done deal already?

Mitchell Johnson, in the meanwhile is having a hell of a match against England at WACA-Perth. After top-scoring in Australia's dismal first innings, he also secured the bowling honors with 6 wickets in England's first innings to put Australia right on top.....Would be interesting to see if this one gives us any result other than England's (imminent) loss.
