I believe in the last 5 years we have beaten Pakistan 10 times and we lost 7 times in one day international. Yesterday's win will be the 11th win. Having restricted them to a reachable total we as usual gave it up and had to wait for Baji to finish after a field altercation with the BAD BOY OF PAKISTAN CRICKET SHOAIB AKTHAR.
Raina did not let the India fans down but he still needs to be more consistent when it comes to consolidating the team position. This I feel he should learn from MSD as he is also the favourite of Dhoni.
Thanks to the young legs our fielding looked better , more agile and sharp. But what let us down has been the poor opening pace attack. The current attack reminds me of Abdul Ismail and Ajit Pai who used to bowl for Mumbai. But with their pace they were menacing only in Ranji and Duleep trophy. High time we look at a good bowling coach before we start going to the days of Bishen Bedi where the opening bowlers were used to remove the shine. I am also seriously concerned about Jadeja. He is mentally not tough after the controversy that hovered over him on IPL.
All said and done beating Pakistan in any form of sport is a moral win for the country. Well done MSD
