16th consecutive succesful chase

It is delightful to see the Indian cricket team batting thesedays,especially its depth.The credit goes to talented pool of young cricketers like Dhoni,Yuvraj,Raina,Pawar and one more chip in the block Uthappa.
These youngsters are completely different from their seniors,they are aggressive as well as sensible.The best part is they are thinking cricketers with exceptional ability to bat under any kind of situation.The way Dhoni batted in the last match at Jamshedpur is clear example of it.If we observe,these days the first 3 or 4 wickets fall quickly and it is the 4th n 5th down batsmen who are providing a backbone partnership.

Now in the form of Robin Uthappa, an adept opener is available to the team India.He batted excellently in his debut match and will definitely threaten the positions of Sehwag and Sachin as openers if they continue their poor form.Sreesanth came back well too with 6 wicket haul.But still India's bowling attack cannot be called dangerous because it lacks pacers who can consistently take wickets.
Lets hope any such gaps are filled quickly by the time the 2007 world cup begins.
