Pragyan Ojha takes first test wicket!

26 November 2009

Pragyan Ojha made his test debut for India, against Sri Lanka, at Kanpur. He had to wait until the third day to make an impact, after India's huge first innings total. Reporting on Cricinfo about play on day three in front of over 50,000 spectators; "It was not a completely solo show by Sreesanth, though, as the debutant Pragyan Ojha kept things tight, allowing Dhoni the luxury to attack from the other end. Ojha also got the big wicket of the first innings when he beat the top scorer Mahela in the flight and produced a mishit to mid-on. Ojha also hastened the end of the Sri Lankan innings post-tea by trapping Muttiah Muralitharan in front but Sreesanth was undoubtedly the star today". A long way from the days of shopping trips with Holty and cheeky smokes behind tress at Slaltaire CC with "joshan" ..........Well done pal!
