S Africa 296ao & 0/6 trail India 6d/643 [Laxman 143*, Dhoni 132*], Day 3 of 2nd Test @ Kolkata

MS Dhoni and Laxman scored vital runs to swell India's lead. [SCORECARD]

Well, well. That went a lot better than I expected. Laxman's love affair with Eden Gardens continued as he scored his fourth century in nine Tests there, making it 1041 runs at 94.63! 3rd highest 7th-wicket partnership in history. And it seems Dhoni has finally turned a batting corner in Tests. It augurs well for the future. If we don't win it from here, we don't deserve the top ranking. COME ON INDIA!

I may well have asked this before, but if so I can't remember it: is the Aussie notation (w/rrr) the norm in India, or is that just personal preference?

Personal preference! :) I 'blame' pappubahry's influence on me growing up.
