OOPS THE MEN IN BLUE DID IT AGAIN

"What has to go wrong has to go wrong........"
But firstly did any thing go right at all.......

Firstly match on the Kotla grounds....the pitch which it was known will in no way hold good for a full day.......

Over this we lost the crucial toss....and allowed Pakistanis to score 303.....and now that score was almost impossible to chase on this wicket......BUT still...atleast we could have given the fight.....

On such occassions.....we are forced to think is the Tendulkar's era over.......just see him scoring and see Brian Lara scoring......Lara is going strong and consistent even today.........

We did not take wickets regularly...we let partnerships build up...but when our batting came.....we gave our wickets at regular intervals without letting any partnerships build......this feat was achieved by giving catching practice to slips, bringing the ball back onto the wicket (Tendulkar has expertise in this), and ravid giving his wicket the only way he can be dismissed - by running himself out........

So Pakistan Team has won straight four matches and they did it by bouncing back from being behind by 2-0 (India having 2 wins).......It was a difficult task of losing from that stage for India....but if any feat is not achievable....India can achieve it.......

This is not the way John Wright should have been given a farewell gift.......he has done a lot for Indian team and the team seems to have lost it all.........

Hoping Indians regain their form in the next series........if some decisions regarding leaving a senior player out of team due to lack of form has to be taken it should be taken....they should not take their place in team for granted......

All The Best to Men in Blue for future challenges........
