India win. Good game got really tense during the Indian run chase. Especially after Kohli was caught off a full toss. Then Gambhir threw his wicket away. Not satisfied at almost being run out off two consecutive balls he achieved it on the third consecutive ball. But Yuvraj and Raina steadied the ship and got India home.

IMO the Aussies put a good effort in but were beaten fair and square.

Good assesment Frankie - Shame we didn't have a couple of decent fast bowlers who understand the concept of line and length though !

I would have dropped Tait and kept the leggie Smith in as he could have caused more problems. But Ponting won the toss, opted to bat first and reckoned around 250 runs was a good score. So it went according to his game plan. Only, India managed to get them. On paper it looks like India won easily but watching the game it was pretty tight and Yuvraj was the player who won it for India. The batting/bowling conditions were also more suited to the home team.

Ponting answered his critics with a good ton which may buy him some more time and keep the media off his back.

Moving on its South Africa v. New Zealand today. SA to win that one. Made even easier for SA as NZ are currently 5 for 1 B. McCullum being the man out.
