but lets not forget the fight from Yusuf Pathan

[Cricketics]

Fantastic fight by him and to some extent Dhoni too. Yusuf kept his cool and deserves all accolades from Indian fans. he was one guy who kept us in the hunt. You always deserved to tour England Yusuf. INDIA ZINDABAD. :two_thumbs_up:

Yuppo :isalute:

That one handed thwack for six in the last over was memorable!

[Params7]

Yusuf and Yuvi did all they could for the team today...if only they had some more help, we would have won.

[pan_walla]

In the end we lost by 3 runs only :-(

[Guest gaurav_indian]

Thats where we missed Irfan today.:wall:

[MarathaPride]

Great job YKP...u almost..almost..pulled it out for us..

[The Realist]

Yusuf was excellent. I just love his calmness in all situations. The guy chews gum and hits sixes for fun! Yusuf Pathan & Sehwag = New Indian opening partnership.

[Ram]

That last Swann over.... that was the big one for me. Yusuf did manage to deposit one of the balls over mid-wicket but I reckon we needed atleast two more big-hits from Yusuf that over.

[kumble_rocks]

Almost is never good enough.

[Sachinism]

Almost is never good enough.

Can't blame a guy when he is left with so much to do

[vvvslaxman]

Dhoni got 2 lucky boundaries. Otherwise his strike rate would have been tuk tuk SR. He absolutely had no intent. Even against Swann he was concentrating on rotating strike rather than hitting.

this is heart break 19.4 over England 145-7 India 145-5 Bhajji bowls wide, yuvi misfields and it goes for boundary. 3 extra runs and we lost by 3 runs

I was praying Bhajji flights the ball. :((

[MUMBAISKIPPER]

Yusuf Pathan should bat up the order Yusuf Pathan should bat up the order in T20 or ODIs....this guy is blessed with awesome ball-hitting abilities....can tear apart any bowler in the world....can hit the ball at will....such a fearless character..should bat ahead of Dhoni.

[diegovegaz]

excellent knock, let the hits continue flowing through your blade

[Gambit]

I really felt for him when we was kneeling down, asking for strength from the almighty, before the 20th over. Poor guy gave it his all. It was the strokeless non-wonder on the other end who effed it. :finger:

[Guest gaurav_indian]

That one hand six was classic.

The guy wanted to win for his team so badly.
