missing TON becomes regular to TEN!

hi folks,

as i said i'll be away during my exam times, i'm busy. but thought write something to get refreshed amongst the busy hectic pressured schedule. so here i'm to write something.
fortunately its just a day after India clinches the series at home against the rival Pakistan after 24 years. so let me what i have in ma mind.

it was well and good health series for India from the starting this time. no hick-ups and and struggle in scoring the runs which came very easily. Missing Dravid was the only hatred feeling of every Indian. but it was proved that no matter who plays, India has some people to rescue.
A god start, firm middle order support by the captain Dhoni and vice-captian Yuvraj, disciplined bowling and a descent feildong was reflected in all the matches.

the second match was also on India's favour untill Afridi pulled three consecutive fours in Zaheer's over. if not it would have been a clean sweep of the series. i'm sure that India will win the last match also well and good.

about last match, it was great to take Salman Butt out in the second ball, who was in a terrible form. then came the Mamooth Yousuf and Younus pair to rescue. this 'Y' combination is a terror to all the teams. but Yuvi made a breakthru by taking Younus out.

another important point to be mentioned here is, 100th wicket for our former captain Gunguly. yes! when he appealed for LBW for Afridi, it happened. he got his 100th wicket. he is the third player to have runs more than 10000runs and wickets more than 100. his seniors are Sachin and Jayasurya.

it was Misbah who gave a god innings for Pakistan at the end with Yousuf to project a descent score of 255.

though India lost the early wickets of Ganguly and Gambir, Saching and Sehwag played very good. Sachin who is in a terrible form, smashed consecutive boundaries in Afridi over is the peak of the match. but, poor unlucky fellow. missed the TON this time also, due to the same bowler who disappointed him in the second match when he was one short of century.but never mind, India won the match.

the Dhonei-Yuvraj pair is proving worthy. they are the match finishers in all the matches. its been wonderful to watch both the young players doing the job well. I'm sure, India has a good future with these two fellows.

anyway, India clinches series with one match to go. lets see what happens in that.
