It is mystery surrounding the defeat.After Yuvraaj Singh had brought the game within
Control to force an easy victory over England why all of a sudden,the match turned into a sorry affairs for the spectators at Mumbai is a question which is difficult to get an answer.
The pacers Ashok Dinda& Parminder Awana contributed 86 runs out of 178 required by England. This kind of a match ,without changing the Bowler when Suresh Raina is readily
Available, is a matter which needs answer .But then ,who bothers to answer when none looked like involved in the bowling .Balls were bowled as a matter of routine& not with eagerness to get wicket.At this rate the Game of Cricket would get ruined itself.
Any ways,series not lost is the just one consolation left for the Spectators.
In the Batting Department,Virat Kohli,Suresh Raina,Dhoni&Rohit Sharma excelled to take the match to a competitive 177 runs.England had to wait until last ball when they needed 3 runs from 1 ball.
Now Arch rivals Pakistan would play their first onedayer at Bangalore on Christmas Day.
whether the matches are going to be won by India or Pakistan ,only time can tell!

In case India aims at winning any series of faster version for the time being & not for future or for ever,Presence of RavindraJadeja& Irfan Pathan is a must.
ReplyDeleteFrom a winning combination of the first T20 against England how& why Ravindra Jadeja was removed is a mystery to be solved.
and instead of giving place to Suresh Raina why Parminder Awana included in the list of 5 Ballers too needs answer.
