Happy to be proven wrong here by India. Hats off to them, an all round demolition job so far. Ballsy to enforce the follow on too, considering they managed to score 600+ in the first innings.

Scorecard, so far, has a similarity to the demolition job that Sri Lanka did on India last year.

Yeah, they managed to keep the collapse-mentality going into Sri Lanka's second innings without losing any of that momentum. Great call from Dhoni.

If you are not going to enforce the follow on when you by more then 400, when are you going to do it?

Yeah, I suppose so. He might have wanted to give his bowlers a rest/make Sri Lanka bat last though. Sometimes you think, if Sri Lanka even get to something like 150/1, we'll have been in the field for five or six straight sessions and the game's going to become very difficult to win from there. Was the thinking of Andrew Strauss when he ballsed up a similar (although not with quite so big a lead) situation in Antigua this year.

In any case, good judgment from Dhoni.

Totally disregard the fact that there were few drops and a lot of near misses.

India's 100th test win

Definite that we didn't see a 5th day. Just rams it in even more.
