Sachin Tendulkar played one of the most important innings of his career, a belligerent 214
that helped India beat Australia convincingly by 7 wickets, and helped keep Ricky Ponting's
dubious record of no victory on Indian soil as captain of Australia.
Tendulkar went from 93 to 99 and from 99 to 105 by hitting two sixes off Nathan Hauritz
in keeping with his son Arjun's advice to hit a six when getting to his century.

The Test match in which Ricky Ponting made the most horrible decision in his captaincy tenure
by introducing his part timers to bowl instead of employing his fast bowlers, to keep up with
the overrate, thereby ultimately costing him and Australia the Test match and the series.

Kolkata 2001 stirs amazing memories of an incredible Test match that had people grappling for superlatives
while trying to reconcile on what transpired over five days of an unbelievable Test match.   India, after
trailing by 274 runs in the first innings against a star studded Australian team, turned the match and the
series on its head through a once-in-a-lifetime breathtaking performance from VVS Laxman, who with a
tremendous amount of support from Karnataka hero Rahul Dravid stunned Australia in a magnificent partnership
of 376, on his way to a classic 281, and helped India crush Australia by 174 runs on the last day.
