India Cricket Test Series win – Job well done but lousy at last

India indeed won test series after 41 years in new Zealand. But displayed lousy performance in last test match. Statistically and theoratically a target of 617 run was too much for New Zealand and everybody were aware of it. It was little beyond New Zealand’s reach – no offence to New Zealand’s capability but with the current situation and their current form it looked impossible.

But still Dhoni decided to play on fourth day for couple of hours. No problem if you want to get runs on the board quickly. But with strong position after third day Dhoni and Yuvraj should have batted with fire – more like 20-20 format as still 5 wickets were in hand on that day with nothing to loose but still they spent 2 maiden overs more than 2 overs with 1 run each and couple of overs with less than 3 runs. That’s lousy performance.

Not to mention India dropped few catches, thanks to Ishant and Munaf for that. Both didnt show any magic in their bowling anyways neither in fielding.

It a great achievement that India won the test series by 1-0 but it would have been far better if we had 2-0 on the board with a command and pride.

Anyways, better luck next time guys.
