Fumble Downunder


What a disappointing Sunday!!! lost my days sleep watching the Indian team give up their desire of victory against the oz in Adelaide. Guys put up an impressive bowling performance in the first 25 overs of the Australian innings with some tight bowling by ishant and irfan, but the batters kept me waitin nd waitin until they surrendered to a meek 152.At 75/5 .I really anticipated score under 180 but clarke nd hogg partnered to give Aussies a not though respectable score of 203 in 50 overs, the Indians certainly failed to capitalize on their good start with the leather. 203 always seemed like a gettable total on that strip bu indians as usual succumbed to the aussie pressure and played some irresponsible shots to get themselves out, prominent being Rohit sharma and Dhoni's uncalled for run out, and yuvraj continued with his lackluster form. With only 3 matches to go.Indians must win at least two of them to secure a place in the finals and for the Aussies with this win they seem to have virtually sealed their place in the finals.
