As the rest of the team celebrated India's first test win outside the sub-continent in 15 years, coach John Wright had an extra reason to wear a satisfied look.
Wright, who has always stressed on improving the fielding and the fitness of the players, was very contented with the team's performance in the first test.

“Only when you are fielding you can see if there is team spirit in a unit,” Wright said.
The Indians had a lot to cheer about in terms of their fielding performance in the Bulawayo Test. They took some outstanding catches and were generally very agile in the field.
Sadgopan Ramesh had a hand in two such dismissals, the critical wickets of Guy Whittall and Andy Flower.
Both were brilliant catches. Here was a man who is fighting for his test place and only a couple of hours before was down on the bench in the dressing room getting treatment for diarrhea. He didn't brood or clutch his stomach in pain. He wanted to contribute badly and did so in a rousing fashion. Similar was the case with Rahul Dravid. The vice-captain went into the match with his dislocated finger not quite fully mended. He made 44 attractive runs and effected the run-out of Grant Flower besides taking a catch.
