TIGERS ENJOY THE HONGKONG FEAST

Seldom have matches been as mismatched as yesterday’s dead rubber in the Asia Cup. Hong Kong learnt that they still don’t belong to the big league while Dhoni’s men had a walk in the park. On hindsight, what has this match achieved? nothing except to give the shivers for the Hong Kong team. Hope they are able to recover from this drubbing for the sake of the game.


Hong Kong lost the toss and with it the match. Dhoni sent his men in for an extended practice session and Viru and Gauti made merry. This is an emerging opening combo. Have we found the replacements for the legendary Sachin Sourav opening pair? Once the dashing duo left, it was time for Dhoni and Raina to rejoice and rejoice they did, with breathtaking centuries(at least It took the breath away from the HongKong team), Raina’s first and Dhoni’s long time due.

Chasing a mammoth target, Hk made their intentions clear, with most of their batsmen commiting suicide. Life was easy for the Indian bowlers. Chawla was in the comfort zone as batsman after batsmen stepped down the track, only to oblige Dhoni a stumping. Chawla picked up four wickets in the process and debutant Gony impressed. The chase never started and India has an extended rest for the tie against Pakistan.
