What? What? What?
Cant believe to see what has happened! Did India really win? Oh wow!
I didnt watch a ball from England's second innings. How was the pitch behaving?
But this is something strange but let me tell you. Even though I had rubbished India's batting performance here in this forum and expected them to lose comprehensively to England, my Indian optimism came forward within me and said India might win this match. And strangely, I was visualising Harbhajan picking up just that '5 wickets' that he has picked up now. Thats how I went to sleep, visualising it. Wow, I have now experienced a 'dream come true'! :cool:
Great all round performance from Harbhajan! Man, this guy comes back from despairing depths to dish out this performance! The signs showed in the Mumbai test itself. He was turning and bouncing the ball into the batsmen at Mumbai itself. But he seems a transformed bowler once the ODI's hit him. He didnt play in the ODI's in Pakistan and he bowled brilliantly against Sri Lanka and South Africa when India played at home! So he has been a very good ODI bowler though more on the economical mode!
Good to see Pathan among the wickets too! This should act as a spur for our team to try and win matches by defending targets! Its abt that confidence that we can win matches too defending targets. But looking at our batting performance, some might say we didnt deserve to win. But England have made sure we didnt deserve to lose!

ppl reps taken away for saying stuff like this now harbhajan has proven my point that he has a lock on the team can u imagine if no harbhajan this game they suffer a humilating defeat
is everything alright with u, my friend?
you reply to ur own quoted messages (actually u didnt seem to post those quoted messages in the first place!) and you reply to urself??
harbhajan has proved his critics wrong with a superb performance. but its another case of coming back against the odds. still the indian fans were somewhat right in asking for harbhajan's head. his performance in recent times has been lacklustre and pressure was building rapidly. the inclusion of powar made things even more harder for bhajji. talks were on to have powar instead of bhajji but the faith of the team management and dravid has paid off!

That was a tremondus ODI match from Delhi, I was expecting Irfan Pathan to have great day...3 out of 5 wickets not bad.
Wanna have a look at the highlights of the England innings!
