India won CB tri-series by beating Australia

India have won the Commonwealth Bank Series, A brilliant performance by young Praveen Kumar and Sachin's 91 runs took India to historic win.
Beating Australia by 9 runs in a thrilling second final of the CB Series, India brought historic win over Australia.
Praveen's first spell was splendid, he took 3 wickets of Gilchrist, Pointing and Clarke, Australia was on 32/3, and before that Sachin Tendulkar's knock of 91 runs with help of Yuvraj and Dhoni headed India to win.
Last few overs were thrilling.

Mahendrasingh Dhoni: "It was the building stage of my team. There were a few doubts if this team can do well in Austalia. The bowlers did well but the way we improved our batting was great. The way Sachin gave us a start was great. It can't get better than this, beating them(Australia) in two finals. With their batting line there were a few concerns with all of them not scoring."

On Praveen Kumar: He looks quite deceptive, he's a bit skiddy, he moves the ball both ways, he's one of the bowlers to look out for in the coming seasons.

Ricky Ponting:" All credit to the Indians. Our level of cricket over the last week has dropped off. Thats disappointing. We've stumbled at the last turn again, can't take anything from India again. We've probably played our worst cricket over the last week. There are no excuses for that."
about newcomers: "Ishant Sharma was very good in the series and Praveen Kumar also came good in the last couple of games. Ishant's presence was vital for the team but others made up well for his absence."

Sachin misses another one:
This is the sixteenth occasion when he missed his century-knock in One-days. The Little Master, who hit his 42nd ODI hundred in the first final against Australia on Sunday, in the past one and half year he has missed seven ODI centuries.
In 2007, he was dismissed thrice on 99 against South Africa, England and Pakistan. Sachin Tendulkar tops the list of batsmen with maximum dismissals in nineties in the history of cricket. The second Indian, who has been a victim of nervous nineties next to Sachin, is Mohammad Azharuddin with seven dismissals. Sourav Ganguly closely follows erring six times in nineties. Other Indians in this unfortunate list are K Srikkanth with five dismissals, Ajay Jadeja and Rahul Dravid with four missed opportunities.
