India Eye Cleansweep As Pathan Scores A Fighting Ton

Yusuf Pathan celebrates after scoring a hundred.

There goes a SIX! And Tiwari finishes off the match in style. India have won the match, what an unbelievable and exciting contest we had tonight.

These were the words said by the commentator after India won the match. Nobody had thought that India would win the match. Even I was not sure about it.

Luck favoured us twice. First when Rohit Sharma was given not out wrongly and then when the rain interruption came to an end. Because if the rain interruption would have lasted for more than an hour India would have lost according to the D/L method.

This match reminds me of the match India played against Sri Lanka on the 24th of December last year. After a great knoch by Tharanga(118) Sri Lanka piled on 315 and India surpassed it all thanks to Kohli and Gambhir, who shared a 224 run stand for the 3rd wicket.

India should watch out for the dangerous bowlers like Tim Southee and Nathan McCullum. It should also work on its bowling a bit and try not to bowl too many extras and look to bowl a tighter line.

This strategy should be used in all series and after Tendulkar , Dhoni, Sehwag and harbhajan are back in the sqaud things will be even more better. Both Parthiv Patel and Wriddhiman Saha have done well as wicketkeepers and should be considered for the option for the stand in wicketkeeper for the World Cup. Saurabh Tiwari shuld also be considered for the Worl Cup.

I think if India work on all these points they will be fully prepared for the World Cup.
