Virat kohli's blitzkrieg, Dhoni's sudden charisma, Raina's persistent batting, Yuvraj's resilient bowling are the only four good things that can be taken out of the 2nd T20 between India and England. The rest of the Indian team need a good punch in the stomach to awaken them.
The fielding was breathtakingly annoying, the bowling was amazingly lousy apart from Yuvraj's sole effort to save the match from slipping away and the batting could definitely have been better.
Awana definitely would be cursing himself and if I am not wrong having a sleepless night remembering the dropped catch which might easily have toppled the charts. Michel Lumb's grimace turned into a grin when he realized the second lease of life that he was given and he sure made good use of it. He made sure that he stayed till a reasonable period of time, setting up the stage for the rest of the batsmen to take over.
Eoin Morgan gave the Indian's a nightmare, what with his breathtaking looks and his easy fours and sixes. The finishing six was so beautiful that I forgot who I was supporting for one whole minute, just enjoying the beauty of the shot.
Is it only me or is Yuvraj looking even more handsome now a days? Okay, I think I am straying away from the topic. It was a delight to watch him spin the ball the way he did. When he lured Lumb out of the crease and deceived him, I was speechless. Yuvraj was at the peak of his bowling form and I was glad. The LBW was equally beautiful and the glint in his eyes after picking up the third wicket spoke wonders.
One nightmare that I was unfortunate enough to watch today was the dismal fielding by India. Even Kohli and Raina disappointed. The throws were wild and the pick ups were dreadful.
Indian pacers lacked the flare and gave too much of length and space and the English batsmen made full use of it, sweeping and pulling the balls away to the boundary.
Overall, this was most definitely not a good game of cricket. But credit has to be given to the England team for the athleticism on the field and their gritty performance with the bat which saw them through in the end.
Six wickets in two matches is huge and huger still is the Man of the Series. Let the Charismatic performance continue!
