o really u st upid , cant u see that australia has won most of their matches winning the toss and batting first but then they are no.1
With Tendulkar ruled out of the One-day series and an injury to in-form Sehwag giving the team another jolt just before the first One-dayer, who would have given this Dhoni-led team any chance at all? But it seems like we need to get used to Dhoni and his habit of giving Indian cricket fans some pleasant surprises. He did it in the World T20, then there was that triangular win in Australia and now this series win against Sri Lanka. Let me tell you, beating Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka is no small achievement. India have now beaten a full-strength Sri Lanka three matches in a row and each win has been emphatic. It’s an accomplishment that the Indian team should be proud of.
Ten days ago everything was going right for this Sri Lanka team. Now, though, we are faced with the huge disappointment of having lost our second consecutive home series after losing 2-3 to England last October. There can be no excuses. India played better. Once again MS Dhoni was in the thick of things. He has been a stumbling block for us all series and, ultimately, he has been the main difference between the two teams. His 192 runs in the series thus far, the highest aggregate in both teams, has guided India to matchwinning totals. On Wednesday we were establishing a strong position as India stumbled to 81 for three. One more breakthrough, especially Dhoni’s, and we could have been chasing a sub-200 target. But Dhoni has repeatedly consolidated the middle order throughout the series and he did it again. I don’t think we bowled that badly to him, he just played really well. That happens. You can’t expect Ajantha or I to just run through the middle and lower order all the time. Dhoni was just very good with his shot selection, worked the ball well for singles and executed his own gameplan expertly.
