bowlers helped a lot in this match to stamp a win.Especially Zaheer's fantastic bowling was a thorn to the srilankan batsman.But though we won the match yet the batting of our team is not to the expectation.Sehwag, yuvraj wasted their chance.Dhoni performed well but we cannot rely entirely on him for batting.so better to give chance for the one who has proved his talent rather than sticking to the great names.

Well Hi to you vinaykiran!
Ok We won! We won again...But how did we won????
Our to controvertial selected player Sehawag & Yuvraj got a chance to prove themselve! But they spoiled this opportunity again! And I dont know how much more chances they want? Our Bats man struglled today on the Indian pitches! I am wondering how they will perform in West Indies pitches which are so bouncy? Bowlers didnt let down today! All four bowlers did well! Zaheer proved himself again and he was the Man of the Match! but let me ask what about the fifth bowling option? Today sachin & sehawag together in 10 overs gave 64 runs! that ruined the efforts of all four regular bowlers!
This team is going to World Cup, but my hopes are very low!

Hi, I feel we should have won this more comfortably.
See, our part time bowlers gave away nearly 64 runs in their ten overs, which is expensive especially when the world cup is so near.
Our batsmen made the task difficult when chasing. But for the timely contributions from ganguly, dravid and dhoni, we could have gone to the dump like the last game.
Solution? very simple. Dump this irresponsible fellow by the name of virendar sehwag and bring back pathan. I'm sure pathan can easily contribute better than sehwags 19 and 12 besides solving the problem of the fifth bowler nicely. What do you say? Thanks.
