A N guru said, allowing Bermuda to 156 is going to haunt us. Yuvaraj is suspect against moving ball (spin, or swing or seam) especially early in his innings. Our guyz bat as well as the opposition allow us to bat. There are so many recent matches where the opposition have choked us for runs and we lost the plot.There is hardly any initiative to break the stranglehold. Even if we try our, guyz get out. So really wonder whether what the fuss of being the best batting line up on paper is all about.
Ajith Agarkar is a big enigma. Though highly capable with the ball, bowls a lot of four balls and releases the pressure. We should ideally drop him after 2 matches, pick him again after a couple of matches. He is usually good in his come back matches.

Bangla mocks
Check this out:
A day after its heady triumph, Bangladesh mocked at India's "cash-rich cricketers" and the cricketing authorities for making cricket "a product, not sport."
Behind Dhaka's mood, turning somewhat self-righteous is the fact that India is the only cricketing nation that has never invited Bangladeshi team for a Test series "because we are not considered financially viable."
"India sees cricket as business but Bangladesh knows and plays cricket as a sport. The only country that has not invited Bangladesh to play a Test series is India, just because Bangladesh is not financially viable as a team. Now, India has to understand that cricket is a game and not a commercial apple!" wrote Tareq Mahmood in Prathom Alo newspaper.
Right on, mate, India has to understand that. India also has to understand that memory is short: Bangladesh would not have been playing Tests at all, at least not at this point in time, but for India -- specifically, Jagmohan Dalmiya -- gift-wrapping Test status and handing it over on a platter, for reasons we won't go into here.
Anyway. Nice, you've arrived, you've found your cricket feet and now, your voice. Use it in good health, and all the best.
