An India-Pakistan cricket is the match and that too in a cricket world cup semifinal, its not just another cricket match. Cricket will be the winner at the end of it. I was as excited about this match as those were around me, and was truly looking forward for it. Before that accompanied excitement dies,India has kept its track record of never loosing a match against pakistan in cricket world cup. .. It was an overall good bowling performance. Many People including me criticized about dhoni’s decision to drop ashwin and take nehra back into that team. That too after Pakistan spinners doing very well over a flat track, it made me feel more miserable. But Dhoni proved me wrong again. Though he has been out of form with bat, his captaincy is unquestionable , it was his smart move with Nehra , and Nehra has done the magic with the ball in yesterday’s game. It’s not just with Nehra, every one bowled their best and it was overall a team effort.
Dhoni = Keeper + captain + Batsman.
Even if he fails in one department, he is handling 2 departments. Before Dhoni, we were struggling with two issues Captain who doesn't perform, Wicket keeper who can't bat. Dhoni solved both the problems. Off late he is not batting as well as he used to. But I think he is still a very valuable member of the team.
2 wickets from every one, especially when India doesn’t have a specialized 5th bowler its just good. It was a disciplined bowling and fielding by every member of the team. Our first extra was in 37th over we bowled. We didn’t drop a single catch and even the misfielding was just for couple of times and it didn’t cost us more than 2 runs. Dhoni kept claiming about those extra 20 runs in the batting powerplay, batting through the innings and poor fielding and this is the time for dhoni to praise the indian team fielding and with the discipline with which our bowlers bowled.
