And the saga continues..

I dont know whether its a curse or something that India is facing since last decade. They perform well throughout the tournament, but they fail to clinch the series. It happened again..And this time , its in the homeland. Really painful. Sunday's match was a disaster. Indian's top order didn survive even for 1.5 hrs. Hmmm I thought they hired a cab or something and went to Tawang to get the glimpse of Dalai Lama. :). Anyway Dhoni tried to play a responsible innings, but he failed to keep the scorebooard ticking. And yeah..we really miss the WALL. Bring him back.

The indian innings ended with Pravin kumar's finest knock. This person muscling the ball over the boundaries, is really happy to watch. The another person like him is , Dr. Venugopal Rao of Deccan Chargers.. hehe Hitter mania !!. So the Aussies did well on their part and achieved the target. Afterall aussies are not aholes to lose , that too chasing a meagre score of 170. Well, watver happened is happened !. No remorse. The next match will be a really fun to watch.

After the match, I just felt ...'Oh..did i waste a sunday?'. I had a plan of travelling on mumbai local trains throught the day and to take photos at each raillway station name board. Funny huh ?. But still, I dont have a choice !! :).Will make it up in the next week. I had a nostradamus that India will not win the series. But It shouldn have happened in the penultimate match of the series itself. But i personally think such loses will make the BCCI to think before selecting the team for a series. Also the players will realize how important to win a ODI or a TEST series and to climb up the rankings table. Lest we forget this loss. Hope Indians smash the aussies in the final ODI. Nov 11. Nerul Stadium. Here I come !! :).
