R Ashwin: I think the surface had decent bounce and there is a good cross-breeze so that really helps bowling spin. Whatever happens for the spinner happens in the air. Change of pace is very important to get dot balls in. I thought whenever the seam position was right it held on the pitch. I think today's surface is better than the last one we played on. Dew is a big factor, and how much ever you practice with dew it won't always come out right. It is one of those games where any team will find it hard to just get out and play but wearing India colours is a matter of pride.
7.27pm: Fine effort by Namibia to get up to 132. They didn't look like they would get there after the early wickets but Wiese played a useful hand as did the lower order to keep pushing the total along. For India, Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja were sensationally good.
Shami to finish.

Paarth: "i don't think this team is bad/needs an overhaul etc., it was a bad tournament which happens and maybe the scheduling/squad selection needs to be adapted according to that"

Akshay Balaji: "What is the probability of this comment getting published during a Jadeja over?" -- 0!
Virat: "Still wondering Why Ashwin was not selected for first 2 games considering spin freindly pitches and he was in form in IPL... " --- well to be fair to the team, Varun C was also magnificent in the IPL.
