Australia-India Tour Kolkota-2001

This tes t might be one of the greatest tests ever played by India. The auussies were at their peak with a 16 match win record. This was their 2nd test of their series. They had demolished India in the 1st test and had the same intentions. They chose to bat and score d a whopping 441. India couldnt manage the attack of the aussie bowlers and were bowled out for177. We were made to follow-on. The aussies were expecting to finish the game in the 3rd day but then rose 2 Indian warriors in the name of Rahul Dravid and V.V.S. Laxman. They stood the aussie attack bravely and produced a partnership that was never to be forgotten. India avoided innings defeat and went on to take a lead of 393. Then came the spin of Harbhajan which took away the game from the aussies and made them allout for 216. This was only the 2nd time in test cricket that a team that was amde to follow on had went on to win the match. This laid the foundation for Indias series victory over the Aussies and stopped their winning streak
