Ramandeep singh absence cost the vuctory for india i think.This new coacg trust Lalit upadhyay a lot. On one penalty corner,i think Lalit pushed the ball slowly and by the time Rupinder hit the ball, it was scuttled by australia. On other occassion, manpreet push was not stopped. Inexperience of goalkeeper akash chikte was seen when he allowed a big gap while defending Penalty Corner.
It was a good game.We had the better of the match.Draw isn"t a bad start.In the past also,many times when we have played well against Top Teams, we haveb"t been able to close out the match and lost in the last minutes. Today, however we were quite professional in our approach and saw out the match in a mature manner.
Rupinder"s presence adds another level to our defence and makes it significantly stronger.
Generally, we played well but i thought Manpreet had blinder of a game. Akashdeep will need to bring his shooting boots with him.He was quite wasteful.
Now, we need to be more consistent specially against structured and organised teams like Germany,Belgium,Spain etc.This was a good start but we need to build from here.

For all of those who watched the match, Harmanpreet was given the award for Junior player of the match.Can anyone believe it???
It's just like Fardeen Khan winning best Debut Actor award for Prem Aggan.
