fair contest

I fully agree with Mr Kumble. But, particulary in the second ODI,the last two batsmen could not score 10 runs. It was a shame. The battibg was most irresponsible, particularly, Zaheer Khan and Nehra.At the other end, Power batted beautifully and gave hopes of reaching the target. After so many years of experience, Nehra could not manage to take ONE Run to allow Power to finish the match. Cricket is not ONE MAN'S GAME. All the eleven players should contribute and they were all experienced. Further, the Bowling of Zaheer Khan and Nehra was horrible. Instead of trying YORKERS, they were always bowling short balls on a batting pitch. The bowlers should, particularly Fast bowlers, immediately realise that the pitch is not helping them. Then, they have to use their intelligence and find out the weaknesses of the Batsmen and bowl accordingly.

Besides, the most pitiable thing I noticed was that the Captain never spoke to the Bowlers whenever they bowled badly. Anyway, I wish them all the best and hope they will be more serious to win the next match. Thanks

best of luck to indian cricket team. Now you are playing with pakistan so take one thing in your mind that you have to win the ODI'S it is ok if you have lost one ODI but you have to win in next ODI'S. Always think positive about matches.Never think negative otherwise you will never win. When you are playing aways keep in mind that kuchch bhi kachcha nahi, kuchch bhi pakka nahi jo hota hai sab khel hai.Always make century sachin,dravid,saurav.Yuvraj and kaif can atleast make half century.The bowlers of india like nehra zahir do something for india.So BEST OF LUCK again for your ODI'S.
