...and the Australian Cricket Team wins!!!

I don't know why I am so excited about this win by the Australian Cricket Team. In fact before that fourth innings by Pakistan, I really wanted Pakistan to win this test match. Even with a very low total to defend, the Australian Cricket Team really played excellently to win the Test match by 36 runs!!!

Phew.. once again my prediction had gone wrong.

We may say plenty and plenty of criticisms about the the Australian Team, but when it comes to playing together during tough times - they are the Best!!! Of course, the Pakistan team didn't play with that killing instinct they always show in matches against us. But still, the Best is the Best!!!

..and something even more interesting. I didn't even bother to know the result of the yesterday's India-Sri Lanka ODI @ Bangladesh. If all Test series can go like this, I don't think any modern format of the game can bring down the popularity of test matches - though, the pitches made for only for batting, in our country, can do that.

MS Dhoni and a Management mantra..

Sometimes back, I remember reading some article "Dhonifying your career" - written for the freshers entering into their first profession. The article was how one should make maximum use of even the little opportunity provided, with powerful positive attitude.

Similarly, after yesterday's cricket match finals, MS Dhoni had to say about another interesting management mantra. When asked about his decision to use the new bowler Joginder Singh for the last 20th over, Dhoni said something similar to this below:

"Harbhajan wasn't confident of bowling good overs and the batsmen were comfortably hitting runs in his balls. So, instead, I decided to give the responsibly to a new bowler, who really want to prove his skills in the international cricket "

Though a highly risk decision, well done Dhoni. The decision, holds good for most of the professional career!!! Young and determined youngsters can really bring great changes!

On the other hand, I wasn't really happy about what the Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik had to say after that finals. He said :

"Thanks to all the Muslim nations who wanted us to win..."

A humble request to the Pakistan Captain (in case if he reads this) : in future , Please.. please.. please... don't bring Religion into Cricket.

I don't know why, but his words sounded something odd to me..
