Ishant Sharma did his chance of being picked  for the series down under no harm at all as he rocked Pakistan’s late order batsmen with a 5 wicket haul on a placid Bangalore pitch. Generating considerable bounce due to his height and high arm action Ishant finally got his radar right. What followed was a rare sight in Indian cricket… a quick bowler moping up the tail of the opposition in double quick time. The way he did get his wickets was quite a sight. Going wide of the crease to accentuate his inswinging deliveries – one ball pitched up, the next dug in short, the other a near perfect yorker. The bouncer he bowled to surprise Danish Kaneria was the perfect end to his spell and the Pakistan innings. Wonder what Sunil Gavaskar, who unceremoniously dismissed his credentials yesterday by calling him ‘not quite ready for test cricket’ and a ‘workhorse not a racehorse‘ will write now ? Maybe he will simply ignore Ishant’s feats and try drum up some support for Bombay hopefuls for down under in another guise. Will have to wait and see
