Hopes died....India lost !

It was fifth ODI between India and Australia...since quite a long time, I am not really following any form of cricket because there had been too much of it. Also, there had been many instances when, Indians [Men in blue] haven't shown enough temperament....and have lost mickly to back-benchers...they lost to Pakistan..which made me really disappointed.

Today after a long time, I just thought to see the indian batting...Sahwag was a bit dull but the little master was on his high. He showed "What really means to have POSITIVE ATTITUDE". It was clearly visible that Gambhir, Yuvraj already had lost the match in their mind...and hence they for out very easily and in very strange way. Dhoni was as usual high on hopes but an excellent catch stopped him to go further. The little master was on fire and joined him the Raina...which played real well..although his departure ensured that India may loose the match. After him, Harbhajan was hopeless....whenever he played good innings, I never expected him to win a match for India, frankly. Then came Ravinder Jadeja....who is culprit in India loosing many matches. Today also, he made the same mistake....and not deliberatley but managed to keep Tendulkar away from ride. Actually, Tendulkar lost his touc when he couldn't play a ball for almost 2 overs.....His shot to get some runs was out of desperation and he couldn't manage to play it well.

Then again, jadeja showed his nature...and tried to be smart before Australians...what did he thought, he was doing. He desperately, tried to run for a run which was not at all their. The result was clear.....18 runs out of 16 balls were never looked easy ever after.

My personal feeling....

Jadeja should be thrown out. He has to learn more...His batting is not up to the mark and he is not at all a good allrounder. He is a bowler and a good enough feilder only. better to give place to Yusuf, Irfan Pathan ...some new face !!

Kudos to Tendulkar A real fighter in todays match. I had never seen him so great in touch...after Sharjah series and Hard luck to Dhoni...and no appreciation to Gambhir, Yuvraj, Harbhajan.... !
