Action replay - two matches vs. Ireland & Holland

The two matches of India vs. Ireland & holland was action replay of each other. Why, let me explain :

Vs. Ireland

In the match vs. Ireland, Dhoni won the toss & made the foolish decision of fielding first. Needless to say, it was a very foolish decision. also very negative minded. May be dhoni thought , as our week point is bowling, so it will be easy to chase down.

Again poor bowling done by all of our bowlers. Harbhajan was just trying to stop runs & not to take wickets. Zaheer bowled brilliantly again in beginning overs. But piysh chawla is just a waste bowler. Why, Dhoni not taking ashwin? big question.
But then Yuvraj bowled amazingly. 5 wickets. Part time bowler has now became full time !!! Hero of England match, Kevin Obrian couldn't do much here. He got out at 15. Actually India could out ireland below 200 , but it didn't happen bcz of poor bowling.
In India's batting , India batte very slowly. May be because there was a tension of Ireland's win over england. But too slow & boring batting of Indians & that's why run rate increased, & trying to increase it our 5 batsmen got out. All spectator felt that India lost the match. But then again yuvraj came & rescued India. If u ask me, he didn't done any extra special. He just batted aggressively & unexperienced bowlers of Ireland couldn't do anything. If same Sachin, Sehwag would done earlier, India would win the match very early.
But still India won the match & earned 5 points. Yuvraj declared as man of the match for his performance with both bat & ball.
India Vs. Holland
India's next match was vs. holland. And it was 80 % action replay of Ireland's match. Holland won the toss & decided to bat first. The flop show of bowlers continued in this match also. It was just better than against Ireland match. Again Zaheer bowled brilliantly .Yuvraj again good piece of bowling picked 3 wickets. Bhajji & piyush again showed poor piece of bowling &fielding. It was a time now to drop piyush & take ashwin.
Anyways, so Holland got out on 196 runs. & nw it ws easy job for India to win.

Flop show of batting

India batted very carelessly. It was not boring & defensive play like Ireland. But just opposite to it. It was over aggressive play. May be to increase net runrate. But half team got out playing attacking & careless shots. Dhoni's idea to promote yusuf also failed . In fact, dhoni should understand that, Yusuf is no. 7 batsman & not no.3. Meanwhile anoter recored of Master took place:

2000 runs in world cup.
Sachin completed 2000 runs in world cup. He is the one & only batsman to do so. ZReally proud to be his fan & belonging to his era. TAKE A BOW MASTER!!!

Yuvraj came to rescue
After 5 batsmen got out on less than 100 score, again Yuvraj came to rescue. He again scored a fantastic half century & India won the match & earned 7 points. Yuvraj received 2 back to back man of the match awards for his back to back match winning awards.

Sachin's day & Zaheer's night (India vs England-thriller of this world cup!!!)

Sachin's day


India won the toss & elected to bat. no problem with that. very right decision. Then Sachin & Sehwag started the innings. Sehwag was like taken a luck with himself on that day. He was batting very carelessly. Still 4 catches of him were dropped by england. But he was not showing commitment at all!He was like a typical viru. This viru can maximum score in thirties. same happened. He got out on 36 with a very careless shot.
But on the other hand Sachin was playing very, very slow. But he was knowing the status of the match. He was knowing that if he stays there, he can easily blast later on. same happened. Sachin scored 28 in 53 balls at one stage. But he took a jump. He blasted boundries one after another. I can't forget his sixes to swan.! his one six was 96 meters away from the stadium, which was in top 5 sixes of this world cup! I can't describe his batting in words & how he treated the swan & anderson. He made partnerships with gauti & yuvi & made his century no. 47.He scored 120 in just 110 balls. On the other hand Gauti & Yuvi also gave good support to him.Both made half centuries. But other batsmen threw there wickets carelessly & we couldn't score even 350. Because at one stage we were 220/3 in 32-33 overs. But We got out in just 338 runs in 49.5 overs. Zaheer ran one run short & this run troubled us in the end. But no fault of zaheer. We made very poor bowling.




Zaheer's night

What is the problem with our bowling, I really can't understand. We just can't aim.In batting We scored 338 runs, & why this huge score we can't defend? Andrew strauss made the century & england reached on 283 for 2. & then there was a sure win for england. India's fielding also played a major role in gifting run to the oppositions.Fielders gave away free runs to england.
Two misakes made by dhoni also. st mistake was defensive field set. Second was he didn't made appeal when Ian bell was out.

Controversial referral system was also part of this match. Dhoni was right. Why human interference in technology? Why billi bowden made england batsman not out, when holk- eye showed him out?

Anyways, It was really zaheer's night. somebody will argue with me, why I written this. bcz andrew straus was man of the match. But zaheer changed the force of the match, by talking crucial wickets & putting pressure on england.
Because of zaheer's 2nd spell match changed. It went on India's favor. But bcz of Piyush chawla, match again turned in england's favour, & at the end it ended in a tie thriller.
Piyush - Real Villain
Piyush chawla was the real villain for India. He gave 74 runs in 10 overs & took just 1 wicket. Dhoni should think really hard about piyush. Where Zaheer turned match in India's side, Piyush again turned it back to England. In 49 th over Piyush gave away 21 runs with 3 sixes in it. Piyush was bowling again wrong line,i.e. on the leg stump where england batsmen were hitting sixes!


Conclusion of the match
The match was a tie thriller ! Full Paisa Vasool ! But if we think about India, the match was as good as lost! Because limitation of Indian bowling was noticed by all. And at the end, the real fact is dhoni should really think of bowling, fielding & more of Piyush Chawla !!
