India-SL continues

Second match going to start.

Sehwag replaces Rohit Sharma [:( and :)] and Praveen Kumar replaces Munaf (hopefully this pays off).

Apparently India is on a mission to be No. 1 in the rankings. It's going to be a tough sort of mission... because frankly Australia might just be going through a bad patch. Plus, they're playing NZ next, which means that they have plenty of chance to win the series and reclaim the No. 1 position which SA now occupies. And India has to win every match for an extended period of time to even be in the reckoning for No. 1. Can they do it? Looking at the current form of the Indian team, it seems possible. But form is such a fleeting thing. A couple of bad matches and form evaporates- because so much of it is based on confidence. Two bad matches can test a team's mettle and their captain's abilities and kill their confidence. It's a fragile mission then, the one that India is adopting.

sheeshe ke khwaab leke
raaton mein chal raha hoon
takra na jaaoon kahin

I don't quote lyrics on my cricket blog usually, but this happens to be very apt.

Let's see how the 2nd match goes.
