Dissapointing perfomance from the bat today ..........
236 runs not enough to defend in batting pitch like the Adelaide...........

Upul Tuesday, 14 February 2012 07:09 AM

Now we cannot blame it for Dilshan.

Imran Hussein Tuesday, 14 February 2012 07:40 AM

Should win this match. 237 for India is a huge target nowadays.
