Especially after all the criticism that they received during the SA game. This could not have come at a bigger stage. Also, the candidness of MSD during the presentation ceremony about Ashwin's non selection is worth noting.

This is what even i had thought of the game.. As an ardent supporter of sachin, i didn't find the usual clarity in his batting.. He didn't deserve the MoM.. And wahab does in fact.. Few tactical error from Pakistanis, otherwise, they'd have won the game in 45th over.. It's definitely not worth remembering abt this game.. More than saying India won it, i'd prefer to say tht Pakistan lost the game.. Bang on! This is what even i had thought of the game..

Agree with you on the fielding. Meant to include it in the piece, but it somehow slipped by. Thanks Arghya. Agree with you on the fielding.

An exciting albeit forgettable game but an unforgettable occasion. If this was yet another game of a 7-match ODI series in some God-forsaken place, no one would have remembered it a week later. I thought though that the brightest spark that shone through was India's desire best epitomised by our fielding. There were no stand-out performers but everyone quietly played their role which is a change from India's usual reliance on one or two star performers. Suhrith… spot on with the analysis.
