Morale is down.. sorry morale is up. See I'm not even able to talk properly. The way Rinku was batting, every ball there was a fear of the match getting away. The way he's batted this season is unbelievable. Haven't seen batting like that. Ball was sticking in the wicket today. Felt if the spinners bowled well, target will be difficult to get. Focus was to get wickets, bowl wicket to wicket.
