Ist ODI

Pak played well for 239, with Yousuf top scoring with 83. On the other hand, India did well to restrict Pak to 239 !

The declining 3 Muskateers continue their lacklustre performance. Sachin perished for 4 and Ganguly played well for this 39. But it was the next generation heroes - Gambhir, Dhoni & Yuvraj - who played really well.

20 years back, two of the finest allrounders in India were Kapil and Yograj Singh. Yograj did not have the necessary luck to make it to the top and there was a time when he contemplated suicide. So he taught his ten year old son the rudiments of cricket and that 10 year old went on to become India's greatest hitter, Yuvraj !
