What a Game ! Bones rattling,spine chilling and heaps & heaps of hope for our elusive but much needed Victory.Right upto the penultimate ball thrills,fears and ecstasy and finally gigantic goal achieved in grand style.Super finale for a otherwise lost cause.
Come on boys we are in the Cricket summer.
Welldone boys. It is very easy for all the critics who have a lot to say when we don’t do so well. It shows that it takes time to get used to the conditions and we were just getting used to boucy pitches in S/A. It certainly would not have been a lost cause if the rain and the D/L system did not happen on the 3rd ODI. You should be proud of yourselves. S/A has the best one day bowler in the worl and the first and second best batsmen inthe world currently according rankings.What happened to the oled saying ” Its not who won or lost it is how you played the game” Really good cricket fans follow you through thick and thin so keep up the good work boys.
