India wins first test in South Africa

India's win in South Africa has many highlights. Three comeback boys Ganguly, Zahir, and Laxman proved old is gold and experience counts, counter to the beliefs of current think tank in team management constituting Greg Chappel & Rahul Dravid. Strings of dismal performances in last six months were results of faulty policies of team management, which in the name of experimenting put the players into uncertainty and insecurity. It has also proved that Ganguly's ouster has more in cricket politics than rather cricketing reasons.

The first positive move the indian cricket board did is appointment of Dilip Vengsarkar as Chairman of Selection Committee. Which had a joker like Kiran More till recently, destroying the team spirit in current contingent.

Guru Greg's capabilities in man management are clearly in doubt, and the motives of building a team for next world cup have not delivered. So does the Dravid's captaincy not up to mark when compared to Ganguli, who build the team with putting faith in youngsters.
