4th ODI

Watching the fourth ODI from home, and for once I'm actually watching from the first ball of the match.

If India can clinch this one, they'll have wrapped up the series, which would be good for us,because then they can rest their key players for the next match. I do hope Sehwag can captain us to a win. I can't tell you how much I miss Dhoni the captain. He's got this easy charm, this laidback feel and yet amazing focus and energy on the field. I still maintain that Dhoni is one of the best Indian captains that I've seen, and I've seen quite a few.

ETA: DADA's commentating as a special guest! :D Have missed him muchly. Quite awesome to hear him again, I used to be a huge Dada fan. :)

ETA II: WE WONNNN WOOHOOO. Virat Kohli with a brilliant maiden century and Gautam Gambhir with a magnificient 150*... they made a 224 run partnership which clinched it for us. It was wonderful to watch. Honestly I thought we'd lost it when we lost Sachin and Sehwag with only 23 on the board. But these two really stood up and took charge. And to think Kohli only played because Yuvi was injured! Also, Gambhir requested to share the MoM award with Kohli, which was a very nice gesture and it really showed the kind of bonding this team has. They play for one another and revel in one another's victories. I love it. Put a huge smile on my face :)

Rock on India.
