Did Sachin deserve MoM today?

This was not a typical Sachin innings, but given the difficult batting conditions his 85 was invaluable to India making it to 260. So this may not be a convincing MoM choice, but is the best one for me.

Wahab’s had a fantastic spell but hi contribution did not impact the result of the match since in the end it was not really a close game. Nehra or Raina…maybe.

That is not a very mature analysis. You cannot look at the final score difference (29 runs) and say it was not a close game. One catch (we dropped 4 or 5) or better timing and utilisation of batting PP (just 1 or 2 good overs) or Hafeez not getting out when he did (he gifted his wicket rather than the bowler getting him out) could have swung the game firmly in Pakistan’s favour

Today’s game infact proves that the two teams are evenly matched (despite the hype) and Pakistan are more than capable of beating India despite the latter’s superior batting. Remember this is ODI, on another day we might have seen a very different result between the same sides
