Triumph in SL



Hats off to indian cricket team ! They won after 11 year of drought, tri series cup in SL .


Here's only one thing to do here - salute the Master, for an innings of class. India, undoubtedly, owe this title to Sachin Tendulkar.

Biggest tragedy in cricket is Sachin missing out golden years due to continous repetitive injuries which seriously hampered him from 2003-07. all other batsmen in this period were piling on cheap easy runs. we may just have missed out on the best of tendulkar!! but even now, he is simply the best batsmen we will ever see in our lifetimes.

Well,if any one is in a mood to question Sachin Tendulkar's ability,fitness etc,then he/she must be a serious case of Amnesia!!! This Legend has performed consistently from past 20 years,at different venues,under different conditions,circumstances,in the 2 major formats(T20 is a relatively new format,which was absent during the early years of Sachin's career). He's one man who can make crores of Indians forget their daily life stresses,work tensions etc.Having fans from the age of 3 to 90.

Coming to yesterday's game,it was a masterclass knock,well supported by Dravid, MSD,Yuvi,Bhajji.I feel we missed sum1 like Praveen Kumar who has uncanny nack of making the new ball talk under lights a when batsmen are in a mood to attack. But all's well that ends well, isnt it ?

But at the same time at one instant , it seemed me ,India almost lost the game through their sloppy fielding and catching. India needs to re-think their strategies, in the absence of fire and descipline from their pacemen.

RP Singh was pathetic, Ishant Sharma was letharic and Nehra clueless.
The part time spinners did an admirable job. I thought Suresh Raina was exceptional and atoned for not putting on some meaty runs on the board. Yusuf Pathan is exciting when he is on song, but how often he is in that mode? He got ducks in both the innings he played, and both were ordinary dismissals. He is a highly over-rated player. It is time to look at Cheteshwar Pujara, Sudeep Tyagi and even Subramaniam Badrinath.I wonder why he was not even selected. The selectors need to put on their thinking caps .

Congratulations to the Master and Team India !
jai ho ! jai ho ! jai ho !
