Finally India showed a descent display against first timers Bermuda. Team India set the highest run in world cup and also the highest number of sixes and with such a nice batting performance, there is some hope against SriLanka if the ballers put a descent show that day. But there was a major hitch in the match that will be dangerous for the future. That is the way how Ganguly played. Just read the following lines printed in Indian Express.
How much I wished that the catch was taken and he being out at mere 11 of some 50 balls and that would have silenced all his supporters who were just looking at the score at the end of the match. Everyone was able to play except Ganguly and he again tried to make a crisis like situation only this time the other batsman clicked. What if Ganguly plays the same role against Srilanka and by chance other players did not click properly then we are surely going to loose. If he plays 150 balls to make 60 then 150 balls will be left for others to score at six in order to cross 200 , which will be an easy total.
Also the ballers have to improve. Their line and pace was not even bothering bermudian batsman then how come Srilanka will spare them specially Agarkar. But hats off to Kumble and Zaheer for their performance but their are also loopholes in captancy and fielding.
Yuvi, Sachin Sehvag and Dhoni played wonderful innings. How beautigully yuvi and dhoni were rotating strike which seemed an impossible thing to ask from Ganguly. Dada in next match either get out early so that others could do something or start making runs at some pace. It is said most matches are psychological warfare and one who dominates wins the half game. So start dominating.....
Saurav Ganguly was struggling to get to the ball, bogged down in a strange world of hisown. At the end of 15th over, he had just crawled to 11. At 14 he popped up a catch tolong on that was dropped. Finally in 19th over, he got it right with huge six off burly leftarm spinner Dwayne Leverock ( who weighs about 120 kg) ......... Indian Express
