What they had to say...

Prem Panicker: This is what he wrote on Day 3, in the match report: "India are still 20 short, with the last recognised pair at the crease between the Aussies and the Indian tail. It is possible for India to wipe out that deficit, then put another 250 on the board, and really push the Aussies against the wall, in the fourth innings. It is also possible for me to walk on water, and then convert a jugful of that same water into sparkling champagne."

Day 3 report: Laxman puts his hand up

Day 4 report: Silent assassin strikes Aussies

Justin Langer: Whatever way, Coach John Buchanan's prediction at the end of day one, that this could turn out to be one of the best Test matches ever played.

- Laxman & Dravid at Eden Gardens

Glenn McGrath: It’s up to Laxman and Dravid to build up a big partnership. This is not an impossibility considering this remains a good batting strip, and you have two class batsmen in the middle. They will decide whether this match will go into the fifth day or end tomorrow itself.
