Once again.....once again.....!
Team India done the thing. Stopped Aussies before they reach to the fourth consecutive TITLE of a world cup (international in 50-50 category).
What a match! What a match! I am not finding words...! What to write...! Repeating words... like what Himesh does in his songs...! No clue how to get a start. I also will become HIT like Himesh...! People like him....will start liking me too after reading my lines..!
After watching yesterday's performance of Indian Top order batsmen, one can easily get confused, why do Indian Cricket Team not perform consistently well in One Day Internationals with so many talented players? Fact is that, we the Indians too find no reason, why does it happen..!
Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, and then Suresh Raina, four clicked out of seven. And an easy win for the team. So simple equation. All the four batsmen played as per required runrate or more correctly "strike rate" through out the innings and they could make to the total very comfortably. In fact perfectly. With no hurry or no delay at any stage of the innings. This is how you should bat when you bat second. This is how you should bat when you bat under lights. What a batting plan and what an implementation...!
There were fumbles in the running between the wickets initially. But Yuvraj's perfect batting exhibition curtained all. He batted Superbly under tremendous pressure and we could see a memorable knock from him on very important occasion. He might have gained some batting tips from the little master for this perticular match against Australia for sure. He was doing everything right. He was hitting the balls when the situation was asking him to hit. He was taking singles and doubles too. Sachin and Gautam Gabhir had given the required batting momentum and then Yuvraj had never been seen breaking that momentum. In fact the pressure which could easily have gattered around the rest of the five players just after Dhoni's dismissal was totally distructed by him and Suresh Raina who also did a fantastic job and provided an excellent support by hitting the ball too nicely.
Australian bowlers were not understanding what was happening to them when Yuvraj and Raina was hitting the ball a if they were batting against a newly arrived International team. It was not a bad show from the Australian bowlers but a very very good show from Indian Batsmen. Sachin missed his 100th International tonne when he got out. But no matter who does the trick for your team's win. It was a show of four wonderful players. Not just Sachin.
Ricky Ponting's face was saying everything. They do not like loosing games and their faces speak a lot after their defeat in any big game. And yesterday was big big occassion. Not that big for the Indian Team as it was for the Aussie Team.
That was the big one. 1st biggest is to come when team India will face Pakistan in their semi final. Lot more to say on this....but in the next blog..!
Thanks Sachin, Thanks Gautam, Thanks Suresh and
Special Special Thanks to Yuvraj Singh.....!
He shown "Singh Is King...!
