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.
