After all the highlights, the 4th test finally got under way for about 5 overs. The test could have finished after those 5 overs as far as I’m concerned, enough happened in that time that one could easily be forgiven for thinking 5 days had passed. Every moment was spellbinding. McGrath was urgently restraining his muttering when the debutante Hauritz dropped Sehwag off the third ball of the innings. By the end of his next over McGrath had Sehwag clean bowled with a beautiful cutting delivery. Very next ball Dizzy was on his knees appealing with a flattened plam held aloft for an LBW decision that Umpire Dar could not refuse. He was shedding those volatile elements again! This brought about the recommencement of the Tendulkar-McGrath-Gillespie combat series – in which every move is breathtaking. There is nothing like that flurry of unrestrained action at the start of a test match, the desperation of settling in.
