Well thanks a ton for your discussion. Yes, although it was a low scoring match but it was a much needed victory for the England team in order to get acquainted with the sub continental pitch of Sri Lanka ahead of starting their campaign in the tournament. Besides a victory against a strong team like Pakistan will help the England team to start their campaign with confidence.
What say?

This is about whether sachin should continue to play even after not performing well in the recent series against New Zealand.
