This game is harder to judge than the first one. Apart from Laxman and Dravid, every Indian made a contribution. Here are my votes.

3 : Ishant Sharma
When the game was looking like a draw, this man stood up. For some reason, he never seems to get a heap of wickets at one innings. But, he is always threatening and gets very good batsmen out. He set the tone to turn things India's way.

2 : MS Dhoni
He moved both innings along at a lightening quick rate. He made our bowling attack look terrible and gave the Indian bowlers plenty of time to bowl Australia out.

1: Mishra....Great debut. Outside of Warne-Macgill, he is better than any spinner we've ever produced.

3. Dhoni: Dominated in both innings
2. Gambhir: Great performance in both innings opening the batting, along with Sehwag had Australia on the back foot from the word go
1. Mishra: great debut

 

[Tommy Smith]

3. Dhoni - set the tone in both innings and led brilliantly

2. Sharma - got three BIG wickets, especially in the first dig with hussey/Ponting which set the match-up

1. Mishra - a 5-wicket haul in the first dig on that wicket on debut was a great effort.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

3 ... Mishra - 7 wickets on debut including a 5 for
2 ... Ganguly - has really stepped up in his last test series and his hundred was sublime
1 ... Gambhir - 67 + 104

[Earl]

3. MS Dhoni

2. Mishra

1. Gambhir

I think the best thing that can happen for Australia is if Kumble comes back into the side.

 

[TheParraboy]

3. Gambhir (great double knock at the top of the order, most runs for india in the match)

2. Dhoni (lets not forget his captaincy as well)

1. Mishra (Without him id say we put on another 100-150 easily in the first innings)

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]
