Asia Cup Thrills

I know Bhajji scored the winning runs, but what this match reinforced for me is my increasing liking for Suresh Raina. With that baby face you think, bah, what damage can he do? But when he hits those sixers, you realise he's quite the harmless-looking assassin. He's got a ton of character, he does. I know his captaincy hasn't been great as yet, but he's only 23. With experience, he'll grow. I say India should give him a chance to learn and I think he can be a fine captain.
(I think it's really cute how he couldn't let Bhajji go when they won. Heh.)

And it's heartening to see such exciting ODI matches when there is all this talk about reducing the 50 over game into something else. It's an age old game. Changes are good, but to an extent. Such radical changes? Not for me. I'm quite the cricket purist sometimes :/

Also, India-Pakistan is really cricket at it's best. :) Love the thrills, and those crazy feelings of patriotism that just swell up. Ahhh I miss this game, and I miss watching India be convincingly good. Come on TeamIndia, let's get back on track for the World Cup.
