Kumble slays Prince; India to taste South African blood

By John Cheeran
The agonising wait of a billion people is about to end with Indian cricketers almost completing their hunt, led by a unflappable Rahul Dravid.
Anil Kumble has sent back a defiant Prince for 97 and captain Dravid is nearing a historic moment in Indian cricket history. India's first Test triumph on South African soil.
It is no surprise that the same man - who else but Rahul Dravid -- who master minded India's first Test win in Pakistan has also crossed the Rubicon in South Africa.
After the brickbats of the last three months and relentless sniping from a desperate Bengali Broherhood, this must be the sweetest moment in Dravid's cricketing life.
Dravid has achieved what the media darling Sourav Ganguly failed to achieve in his five-year reign.
Finally, Indian cricketers have proved that they are not Wanderers but fighters on the cricket field. And most importantly, and you don't have to be snooty and ugly and strip your shirt to defeat rivals.
Credit goes to the entire team and coach Greg Chappell and captain Dravid.
And who can forget Shantakumaran Sreesanth's heroics with bat and ball. You must remember not just Sreesanth's eight wickets but the mighty sixer he blasted off Andre Nel.
