On the edge...

India is in trouble; they have been bowled out for less than 200. Certainly, it cannot be granted that Bangladesh will win. The positive for India is that they are still playing Bangladesh. The same team to whom they have lost only once in 14 previous occasions; and Bangladesh has never really tasted a lot of success - they just do not know how to win. But by god, I hope India loses.

I have good reason for hoping they lose; firstly, I know I do have a inclination to always wanting them to lose but their strategy was full of loopholes and probably a touch of arrogance where they thought much less of Bangladesh of being a worthy opponent. First and foremost - why play Shewag and Uttappa? Shewag is so out of form and he is solely making the cut based on political reasons as opposed to merit. And then even stupider, you send a half-cooked opener (Uttappa) one-down? The most coveted position in one-day cricket. Dravid should be at number 3 - noone else.

Apart from this, they dropped Sreesanth - erm - makes no sense to play two openers and leave a wicket-taking bowler out? I am lost for words.

On the other hand, Bangladesh deserve it. They played out of their skins; the fielding and bowling was exceptional and the intensity was there for all to see. If I have one gripe, it is that they should have got six wickets for two runs when India were on 159; instead India got 32 more and only time (to be specific 5 hours) will tell how costly the last partnership between Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel is.

Alright - off to sleep. Hope to start my Sunday morning with BBC Entertainment and news of two big upsets on one day! =)
