India score a face saving victory

Main observations in today's win over Bangladesh in MircoMini Asia Dambulla cup:

  1. New ball bowling is a worry for India. The way Zaheer and Praveen bowled was not the prettiest of the sight and certainly not the greatest of signs we are looking forward to win the 2011 world cup. Ok they are coming after a gap of 1 month almost, still they gave away a lot of boundaries to Tamim and Keyes.  Nehra was off color too though he picked up 2 wickets in his 100th ODI.
  2. Ravinder Jadeja continues to edge a specialist spinner to play in the final XI.  Much said.
  3. Sehwag was unusual hero with the ball instead of bat. I had tweeted him to get a 100, instead he got a  4-for, 2nd cheapest in the history.
  4. Gambhir's return to form or lets say runs is a good sign.
  5. Sehwag should fire in the big game vs Pakistan, which we should not lose in any situation.
  6. Rohit Sharma is back to his original ways. 2 centuries now seem fluke. The lad just does not seem to learn from the past.  If he does not mend up his ways he should probably kiss goodbye to his India career chances and look forth to Deccan Chargers only.
  7. Dhoni was back among the runs.
  8. Sehwag would be on hattrick next game. He should come to bowl when Afridi comes to bat and he should be hattrick victim.
  9. Great to see DK and MV not opening batting for India.
Ok I stop.
