Long tour ends with memoirs.

Fielding was good, except for that dropped sitter by Dolar. However, he can be left of the hook because of his unbelievable spell.

What a series win for us. Severely short handed in pace department, but the batsmen collectively came through, which is what you need in every game. One need to score a big one, and the rest chipping away in support role, which creates partnerships that leads to victories. That is the simple recipe for ODI's. I am glad we have done that. There will be better opponents in future. There will be more losses, but one can never underestimate the value of winning, regardless of who you play against. We have separated ourselves from the below G8 nations by a big margin, and inching towards the G8 nation status ever so steadily. Dolar was fantastic indeed. Its good to have good bench strength. That keeps the competition alive inside the squad. Last but not least, Jamie Siddons is really doing a great job with our batsmen, at least for the men who are willing to listen and apply. Ash is probably not teachable. Minus the century, he was again pedestrian rest of the series, but at least he is no longer the main catalyst for our victories.

Congrats Tigers!

he could have kept that one down, but he just loves to play over the fielders and get quick runs. such trigger happy attitude is the reason for his low average and others like aftab, nazim, kapali etc. somehow these players have to be taught to work hard for their runs.

In one dayers, a no.3 has to take those chances to hit over the top during PP's. Aftab did it better than anyone, and Ash is a much better no.4. Nazim had that capability, but his sample size of games are too small to judge him fairly.
