Everyone contributed, Kumar and Ishant bowled beautifully in the beginning. Harbhajan got his bunnies in the middle and then it was up to Tendulkar and Uttapa, Sharma, Yuvi, Dhoni.Balbirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752733091129859385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194839.post-12668282192310593432008-03-15T11:37:00.000+05:302008-03-15T11:37:00.000+05:30From my point of view, the biggest up was that Ind...From my point of view, the biggest up was that India played as a real cohesive team rather than as individual stars. The media may focus on some individuals, but the matches really felt like a team effort, including our spectators.jayakumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394315069061047760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194839.post-76147032733110702542008-03-15T10:40:00.000+05:302008-03-15T10:40:00.000+05:30Yes, the last one was the action of the media in t...Yes, the last one was the action of the media in trying to act as referees. I don't think Tendulkar finally being worth the cost we pay for him is a down :)<BR/><BR/>I think he helped Sharma and others understand what it takes to win and got his first ODI century in Australia. How can that be a down?Balbirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752733091129859385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194839.post-23727029963623261642008-03-15T09:50:00.000+05:302008-03-15T09:50:00.000+05:30Are you sure the last down is really a down?

The young brigade should have played a greater role there. Sachin is not going to be there for much longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
