The top three of Sachin, Rahul and Sehwag came off and that was good enough for India to win big.
Despite the win, I have one grouch about Saurav. No, not his batting. There still seems that killer punch missing in our psyche. I just could not figure why he was using Yuvraj and others to bowl out the overs when the Pak score was 150 for 9?? What was needed was a fast and straight ball from Nehra or Zaheer. It took Saurav about 8 useless overs to realize this??
We need to still learn how to finish it off in style.

Dear Madhu
The main purpose to ask to ball Yuvraj seems to give him confidence as he performed poorly in terms of bat that day. Killer punch is alright but strategy for coming match another one.
Its really sad to see the way we are obsessed with statistics. Not scoring a century since 2003 is being highlighted against Gangulys record.
Why are statistics so important ? Is a 70 or 80 run score by Ganguly which ,say, enabled India to win a match not important than a century against ones name..
This match shows India playing like a team....I think almost everyone performed and like always when India does play like a team it does win.... congratulations guys, just hope that saurabh starts playing those flourishing off drives soon...hang in there man...we are rooting for you...
I want to know that is Ganguly is our team Caption he knows caption's responsbilty he is playing like a lane player i don't think a wordclass palyer playing like that.
comeon BCCI do somthing for Indian Team and reject saurabh Ganguly
hellow. hello sir what is ganguly doing. he must know how to bat. he is thinking only 6 or 4 . it is not good habit. he must secure singal or two . it is use full for india team. and him . thanking you
