When I saw the score this morning it was 120 in 18 overs and I thought India must have lost a number of wickets and then I noticed that only 2 wickets had fallen...unbelievable!

P.D That run frame was always gettable had Yuvi either played some shots or gout out in the begining itself.Just remember the 16th Over had produced 16 Runs and then everything got stalled.Just see how many wickets India lost..Not too many... Except the opening partnership ,we had 50+ partnerships barring the last one...

The decision to send Yuvraj at 4 was destined for failure. His slow starts have become par for the course. When Rohit (no more Nohit) got out after a good inning, that was the time yo show imagination and send in Raina. One thing abt Raina - he doesn't use up deliveries.

Dhoni promoting himself before Raina also debatable.

Dhoni sitting there helplessly while Yuvraj put himself before the team showed his leadership. An overrated media savvy captain.

Shameful performance by Yuvraj and Dhoni.

Re: Final - India v Sri Lanka, (06 April 2014) Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

That was some intelligent death bowling by Lanka denying Kohli much of the strike and restricting the rate of scoring by bowling widish full tosses

Only 19 runs in the last 4 overs

Let's see if India can defend a low total again. They successfully defended 120 odd against England in CT Final (match reduced to 20 overs)

Early wickets will be the key. Fielding will have to be top notch

Yes but before that the game was progressing almost as per my delight. Yuvi bungled it and Dhoni later.A real shocker.Now past is past.We will come back and will bowl well and wrap them up :) I feel Yuvi will give his 150 5now on the field to compensate his dismal perfomance with the bat.

Re: Final - India v Sri Lanka, (06 April 2014) Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

I agree Raina or Dhoni should have come ahead of Yuvi

157

Re: Final - India v Sri Lanka, (06 April 2014) Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

No. Past is past. He has never looked good. Intent was not there. His first two balls - no pun intended - were blocks if I recall. Poor decision to bring him back. Poor decision to put him number 4. He hasn't had the touch.

There was one time when he could have run a 2 off kohlu shot. Ball would have been thrown at his end. Greater than 80% chance he makes it. He sent kohli back. When he was struggling. That captured his outlook today

How long is lunch break. Anyone know when match resumes

Re: Final - India v Sri Lanka, (06 April 2014) Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

Even there is no point in blaming Dhoni.Because he was put under pressure by Yuvi... Anyway..

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh while typing this Lanka has lost it's first wicket ... :)
