YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!
INDIA has managed to pull off a wonderful victory in their match against England. Thats an amazing way to start the One-Day series from India's point of view. Who would have thought after seeing the score at the end of the first innings??
India's batting in the morning was disappointing and left much to be desired of. At lunch, when India finally managed to drag itself to 203 - after some spirited batting from the tail-end (specially Bhajji) - I had my doubts on how defendable that total was. These are the days of higher and higher scores...we have had matches in the recent past with totals of 450+. So, a total of 203 is not even humble or decent. BUT, this was not the day for big totals or for "inspired" batting. Maybe another day, but not today - today the bowlers ruled supreme.
When the second innings started, I never thought India stood a decent chance in this match. But at the end of the day, the England score board didnt have any spare wickets and score was a value less than 170. :o-D
Cheers to India for the win !!
