Respected Brother,
Good Morning,
I think my comments on the vigyaan ki puja and preview of the first ODI did not find favours with the server, it is all right, I have posted the comments on my abhayakavi.blogspot.com
The game though reduced to 38 overs yet India posted a total that they cold actually defend even if the match was actually a 50 over game. Now, if Vettori and his black caps can pull a victory from here it would deserve a full merit to them. I would not rate it as an impossible yet it does sound a herculean task from the word go. My special congratulations to the apatain for his well paced 84, to Sehwag for the swashbuckling start and Raina for maintaining the great momentum. A total team effort from the batsman, it is now upto the bowling departement to utilise the tailor made beginnings of the ODI series to India's favour. I am afraid, Praveen Kumar and Munaf will have to put up their very best to contain the flow of runs from McCullum to avoid any chance for the NZL to make a match out of it!
Well done team India, It would not matter so much even if the unexpected happens and India loses ( a 1 out of 10 chance!). We are proud of the current form of Indian cricketers, that we now have a fielding all-rounder in Suresh Raina, he has shown he cn bowl at times, I would very much like that Dhoni utilizes the services of Sehwag, Yuvraj and Raina in case the wocket really helps the slow turners. It is expected that the batsman would need to put extra efforts to send the slow bowlers crashing to boundaries.
Yet the game of cricket especially the ODI format is one where it would be termed foolish to choose the winner before the last ball has been bowed. A great game is in the offing! Good luck team India. It is all right if Dhoni bhaiya could notmake room for Ojha. He is still young and there is nothing much to worry about his future opportunities. Well Played India!
