Finally India won a tournament final, it was not expected as they were totally outclassed by Sri Lanka in the league match which was basically a dress rehearsal of the final. But to every body's surprise India played great cricket to beat Sri Lanka. In fact the win was important because the bowlers won it for India and there are not many occasions in the Indian cricketting history when the bowlers have won a match for the country. I was amazed to see the likes of Zaheer and Ashish being almost unplayable. It was a satisfying victory to say the least. India won the Asia cup after 6 long years so it was a victory that was awaited for long now.
Even though India won the match comprehensively but there are a few things that we need to work on if we want to do well in the upcoming world cup. We still need our batsmen to carry on after they get starts, getting out after scoring 30-40 will not help the team at all. Also we seriously need to look at our bowling attack specially the fast bowling. We need more consistency from our bowlers and need them to perform better during the powerplays. One more thing that baffles me is the inclusion of Ravindra Jadeja in the team. Why the hell is he there in the team. Please if someone can justify please let me know.
I am also worried about the form of Yuvraj Singh and the fitness of Sehwag. I would love to be in a situation where I have a hard time picking my final 15 and this can be done only if all the players are fit and in form. I would like to see Yusuf Pathan performing more consistently as he can be very handy when chasing big totals. Hope things shape up well and we have a full star studded in form players before the World Cup.
