Just like old times

Moment of the day: Anil Kumble floating one up and making a fool of young Saurabh Tiwary. The celebration felt even better: it was just like old times.

Moment of the day II: Rahul Dravid plucking one out on the run, one arm outstretched. That was his first worthwhile contribution on the field in three matches. But the team’s winning, and he wouldn’t mind not batting.

Siva moment of the day: “It will be a brave umpire to give that one out”, bellows our friendly neighbourhood former legspinner after the camera has told the story: the stumps are broken, the bails are off, Virat Kohli’s bat is short of the crease. Decision made, he has the wit and the grace to acknowledge the genius of his fellow commentator Pommie Mbangwa who, like legions of television watchers, had got it right. “You will make a good umpire,” he says cheerfully.
