Howzzat!

Again , the 'final' stumble.

And as usual , india stumbled and fell into deep shit in the finals. Sorry for the indiscriminate usage of words but thats exactly what happened. In a see-saw match , indians did all the wrong things at important moments and made sure that they lost the match. After a great start given by sehwag and - er the other guy they threw it away. It took a rear fight from kaif to pull it back into india's favour although the ease with which they scored 270+ gave a sign of things to come.

Fleming and Astle pulverised the indian attack that had looked good so far and decimated it into complete submission. They nearly lost the match there but no - in a typical indian way there came a burst of good overs that saw the noose tightening. Astle , however was still there. However small it may be , i cant forget the dropped catch by Raina. The situation was close then and the catch was a sitter. i dont want to speculate but i think the match would have been much closer had that been taken.

Another forgetful final for india and another 'almost there' .
