The second mauka. have to say its been a pretty good promotional campaign by Star Sports.
- After today's performance one wonders, is this the same Indian team which had gone winless for nearly three months in Australia?
- South Africa have been handed their biggest ever thrashing in World Cup games and suddenly not looking so invincible after all.
- India out-batted, out-bowled and even out-fielded South Africa. Something has suddenly changed and for the good.
- There was a deja vu feeling about today's game. Like last Sunday, India played a team in green, won the toss, batted first, lost Rohit Sharma early, Dhawan-Kohli got a big partnership, the No. 4 batsman scored a faster than run a ball 70 odd, India failed to capitalize at death and crawled to a 300 odd total and then eased on to a big victory. Only today's victory margin was mch bigger than last Sunday's.
- India's area of concern - the collapse at death and failure to caitalize on the first 40 overs.
- India's population has its benefits. We manage to reach out to every corner of the world and fill their stadiums.
- Afghanistan and Sri Lanka played the first really close game of the tournament. Sri Lanka did get a mighty scare while Afghanistan just ran out of steam in the end with both bat and ball.
- Play of the day - Jayawardene's bat breaking in two.
- Tomorrow - The battle of Britain. England should win but...
