It will take a lot of time for me to complete this story and when I started the story I didn't thought that I will be able to take it even this far. I was new to stories section and didn't knew that how much time this story will need to finish. Basically, what I have decided now is that, I can either finish the Natwest ODI series and fast forward to the world cup or simply fast forward to the world cup and post a review of the last 1 year. Like how did the series' went and how is each and every Indian player performing. I know this might not be the best thing to do but I also need to see that do I have enough time in my hands to continue with this story or enough willingness to stick with this story. I don't want to stop this story, I want to complete this story. Even though this has not gone the way it should have but as the WC is around I guess this is the best time to take this move.
and we'll be reading and reading and reading
He doesn't only love to bowl against them, he loves to do sledging against them as well (sydney test, 2008). 
How often do we see him getting out in 90's, quite often! With just 1 session left for the test match to end the crowd was looking forward to some big hits by Sehwag. 
India won the toss for the first time in the series and elected to bat. The pitch had bit of grass which was obviously helpful for the bowlers.The outfield was quick and that was a plus for the Indian team which was batting first. 
He was very well supported by Sehwag at the other end who made a century as well. Apart from these two the rest of the middle order batsmen, lower order batsmen and the tail enders failed to do something special and the Indian team was all out for 370. Sachin top scored with 175. Sehwag and Sachin shared a brilliant partnership for the 3rd wicket, the partnership was of 188 runs. 
Laxman for the first time in the series was timing the ball well and what a time it was to make some runs when his team most needed him. India's final score was 311. Laxman top scored with an excellent 132. Dravid too played well for his 70. So, after a poor start, the Indian team managed to reach to a good total. 
Indian bowlers tried their best to get either Siddle or Hilfenhaus but both of them were blocking very well. Last ball of the match was left, Hilfenhaus was on strike, Zaheer was bowling, the crowd started cheering for their team, Zaheer came running and bowled an ideal delivery at that situation, in the block hole but Hilfenhaus did well and safely negotiated the ball. The match ended in a draw. Australian team finished at 326/9. What a thrilling test match it was! Both the sides were equally good and who says that the test matches have no future, test matches are still the ultimate fun. The man of the match award was given to Watson for his crucial inning in Australian 2nd inning. 
Completely dominating the Indian bowlers, telling them that if he(Ponting) hits the ball it stays HIT! He got good support from the vice captain, Clarke. Who too played a fine inning of 83! Australian team made 325 in their 1st inning. Which meant that they had the lead of 45 runs. Well, Laxman, Dhoni, lower order batsmen and the tail enders failed to do anything special and the Indian team was all out for 258. That meant, that the Australian team needed 213 runs to win. Good thing was that, still 1 and a half days were left for the test match to end, so it was certain that there will be a result in this test match. 
Yusuf remained not out till the end of the inning and made a attacking 56. India's final score was 185/6. 
If Dhoni placed most of his fielders at off side, then Finch aimed leg side and will have no difficulties whatsoever and vice versa if Dhoni placed fielders at leg side, Finch aimed off. Well, when someone plays like the way Finch was, the oppositions is always clueless. 
In the 8th over by Harbhajan, India finally managed to get a breakthrough. Watson was dismissed for 34. Australia was 85/1 after 8 overs. 
) but he too by his standards wasn't playing at his normal pace. India's score after 5 overs was 25/0. After 8 overs too the Indian team was going good as they had not lost any wickets and their score was 38/0 but in the 9th over they lost their first wicket in Sehwag. Next man who came to bat was surprisingly the Indian skipper, MS Dhoni. After Sehwag's wicket India lost 3 more quick wickets and was suddenly put on back foot by the Australian team. India's score was 45/4 after 10 overs. Man of the match award was given to Yuvraj for his crucial inning with the bat and few good overs with the ball. India won the t20 series 2-0. 
There were few surprise inclusions in the team, that of, Ishant Sharma, Irfan Pathan and Rohit Sharma. All 3 of them were dropped from the team few months ago but due to their good form in the Indian domestic and IPL, they were selected in the Indian side for the commonwealth bank series. Apart from these 3, the rest of the Indian had been regularly playing for India from the last 1 year and have been performing pretty well.
