For a nation that heaps expectations on its cricketers, India's dominance over England at Colombo was hugely satisfying, to say the least. Coming after the equally exciting win at Lord's in the final of the NatWest Trophy, this game just goes to prove that India are now a daunting one-day outfit, and if anything will instill fear into the hearts of their opponents, it is the batting that Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag showed off on Sunday evening.
Ganguly, in my opinion, has started enjoying his cricket more of late, but Sunday must have provided more than the usual share of enjoyment and entertainment as he sat gleefully at the other end while Sehwag went berserk. A smiling, encouraging captain is always a big asset, especially to the younger players, for he takes the pressure off by a few opportune words.
Once Ganguly and Sehwag had added 192 runs for the first wicket in double-quick time, the match was virtually in the bag. Sehwag was the first to be dismissed, but not before he had sealed a knock that is best described as inspirational. His daredevil style of hitting through the line and on the rise -and his astounding talent at succeeding - is quite, quite remarkable.
