It is great to see that Ghambir scoring a double hundred against Aussies at Delhi. He has always struck me as an attractive player who looks fine against both pace, and spin. He looked in good touch in Lanka and negotiated the threat of Mendis as well as Murali well but he was not getting big scores as he was getting out after scoring 40's and 50's but in this series he has already scored a hundred at Mohali and now a double in this match. As far as the double hundred was concerned he was rarely troubled by Aussie bowlers and more importantly he showed great levels of concentration.
On the down side I still think that he can improve his game further and look to play a bit more in the V otherwise bowlers will pitch it up on and about off and middle and will try to get him out L.B.W or caught behind and of course it would be good if he cools down a bit when batting. Anyhow congrats to Ghambir on what was a fabulous knock in the first innings and as I say it looks like India need him to do well in the second innings too what with two wickets already down.

i think he has really come of age and his innings was the most important innings for india...though vvs scored double too...
GG played really well.. He has to back it up by playin well in the 2nd innings as well...
Thank you for your comments straight point and Trideep, yes Gambir has to back it up in the second innings as well and I don't understand why Indians sent a night watchman which has made sure that there is s a bit of pressure on them now.
You are right GB. The night watchman should not have been sent. India is clearly not even trying to win it. Infact now Australia has got a chance.
