Dhoni was mesmerised even at the press-conference. For every question demanding explanations for the defeat, he the same answer: Mendis

The old hand shows how it's done

A great knock is one that can be seen independent of the situation, irrespective of the result, yet one that contributes to the team cause. Some times a great knock looks effortless compared to batsmen. Jayasuirya, today, satisfied all the above criteria

Subcontinental lessons for India's bowlers

For all the flaws in the Asia Cup, there lies a positive for India: it provides their fast bowlers with a constructive challenge

Pakistan in need of another bounce-back

For Pakistan, this is not so much do-or-die as do-or-don't be around. The equation is now simple: beat India, hope Sri Lanka beat India, beat Bangladesh, all the while with an eye on a better net run-rate

Records don't awe ageless Jayasuriya

Unsure Malik lacks authority

With the captain not only unsure of where to bat, but also apparently unwilling to fulfill his all-round role, Pakistan have been uninspiring
