Yeah I watched the whole India innings before going to sleep.

I was really impressed by the Wankhede Stadium, the field so green, pitch with grass actually growing a little from it, no dirt anywhere, very clean. Very well made, unlike all the other stadiums in South Asia.

It was a really confident Sachin yesterday, knowing exactly how to play every shot, where, and once again pulled the Indian team on his shoulders.

It’s not India it’s Team Tendulkar.

The rivalry between McGrath and Ganguly never occured

Ganguly didn’t even face a ball from McGrath…

Warne like always was bowling like the awesome spinner he is.

Over half the Indian team, had nervous faces, especially Das,

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hehe.gif

he looked like he was going to cry when McGrath was going for his run up.

The fielding is what got Australia India out on such a low total, especially those marvelous slip catches by Hayden. Another good part was when Tendulkar was on a hot over, hitting two fours in a row, and the ball reaches the boundary line and Slater stuck out his fingers just in the nick of time to stop the ball. Very well fielded.

Going to watch both Pak vs. NZ and Ind vs. Aus tonight
