When Sunil Gavaskar said that the indian performance can be described as forgetable while commentating during IndoPak cricket match in Asia cup on Sunday, I totally agreed.

First things first, the team composition was messed up. We dont need five specialist bowlers. I dont know why they are messing with the team balance. And this proved fatal. Balaji did poorly in his 7 overs and Tendulkar had to fill in for him. As usual Tendulkar did a good job and he was the main reason why Pakis were retained under 320. They made 300 in the end.

They messed up in the batting order again. Ganguly came in as number three when Sehwag got out, again. cheaply. This is the place reserved for the best and the most reliable batsman in the team and Ganguly is far from it. Dravid should come as number three.

Anyways, we lost by some 60 runs. Tendulkar made 70 odd. The next highest was Pathan(!) with 38. But in the end it was interesting. Indians has this tact of making things worthwhile of the spectators. We needed to get 241 runs to get a bonus point and that would keep the hopes of reaching the finals alive. In the last over we needed 5 runs and somehow, with a lot of luck and bad throwing by Moin, we reached the figure. And even though we lost by a large margin, I found myself punching the air with joy! ;)
