3rd Test - Bangalore
Ashley Giles bowled two feet outside leg stump and cricket saw its closest version of Bodyline since the 1932-33 series.Nasser Hussain argued that they were just trying to restrict Tendulkar but the rest of the world cried foul!
A different matter altogether that the plan was not too successful, as it had its effect only after Tendulkar had made 90.
Statistic of the match: Day 2
Anil Kumble became the second Indian bowler (after Kapil Dev 434 wickets) and the 18th bowler in Test cricket history to reach the landmark of 300 wickets. He also becomes the fourth slow bowler after Australian Shane Warne (421 wickets), Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralithan (374) and West Indian Lance Gibbs (309) to capture 300 or more wickets.
