Ind v windies

The so called dead rubber between Ind and windies left the indian team with a lot of positives to carry forward into the quaters. For starters Yuvraj was pleasing to the eye to say the least. And india seemed to have found their best combination against the mighty aussies.The most heartning postive to have come out of the match is the performance of Ashwin. He added a new dimension to the attack with the new ball, and gave no free bees to the batsmen.But i think the match turned on its head , when Harbhajan came to bowl his second spell. There was a lot said and written about the turbunator in the media.And the way he bolwed in the second spell must have answered his critiques. There was loop striged to the ball, and spin of the track which made it hard for windies to get him away. And as always the talisman man of indian bowling Zaheer was at his best.
But there are some issues that Indians have to sort out.To begin with , the middle order  has to understand the essence of the power play and learn how to close an inn gs on a positive note. And Dhoni again today for a brief while was chasing the ball on the filed with his bowling changes and filed placements.Just to highlight the same fact, it is worth noting that Munaf didn't get to bowl until the 5th bowler finished his 10 overs.I also personally felt that there were far too many easy singles available for the batsmen against the spinners . He was more inclined to get the part time bowlers done and dusted with ,rather than trying to pick up wickets when the partnership was going strong between Smith and Sarwan.( Althou Raina did pick up one wicket,and having Zaheer for the old ball did make sense).One must admit that windies batted themselves into a winning position and batted themselves out of it aswell.
After everything ,it is now safe to say that India were the better team on the day and deserved to win. But i stil feel that the quality of the bowling in the mandatory power play has to improve and wicket taking abailty with the newball has to be looked at.
A special bow for yuvraj for his splendid century .
