A win that was a must and that to by a large margin. All credit has to go respectively to Watto and Kohli with their centuries which set the tone for the destructive batsmen like Dhoni to free their arms and that is just what happened, it is sad to see Clarke keep on failing like this, and this time it raises the question "should he be dropped" and yes he should as due to his failure our talented players are missingn out on XI. With bowling I have nothing to complain about and that has been the motto so far for us in this season apart from Ashwin. Kane was always good even in pre season games, never let the opposition go on front foot and smash him for runs, the only thing he lacked was wickets and he got 2, and now this only leaves a red signal for Malinga, with that being said also really happy to see Lee with his key consistency throughout the last few games. The like of Rob and Phil also need to step the game up as we have pulled a miracle. But this still isn't enough for our campaign as we do need to pick up more Ws now. Hope this win is a sign of better things to come.
