On how this five-for compares with his 6 for 42 against Australia
I'd rate this higher than my career-best (6-42) against Australia in Melbourne last year, because this has come in a winning cause. It won us the match, and we won the series as well today. Nothing can be more satisfying.
On the pitch
It was a good wicket to bowl on in the morning, there was a little more assistance than you get in Indian tracks for one-day cricket. Even so, you had to get the ball in the right areas. I got two key wickets first-up, and that definitely helped.
On whether he had cemented his place in the one-day side
I would like to hope so. [Laughs] But I honestly don't look at it that way at all. The idea is to always give 100% when you are selected to play for the country. Today was my day, everything worked out well. The bottom line, however, is that we won the series 4-0.

225 wickets in 144 matches at an average of about 27...not bad,right?And for an Indian pacer,great!lord_of_darkness said:
And going by the current ODI scores the teams have been putting up in 50 overs economy rate of 5 isn't bad either(though he could improve a little there),if he is picking up two wickets per match on an average thats fine
Yesterday he atleast got some recognition for his efforts but many of his 2-fors- and 3-fors- have gone unnoticed because of either pathetic performance of the team in other departments or someone overshadowing with a great performance...

Ajit Agarkar would have been a much better choice to play the role of James Bond 007 than the English actor Danial craig (nicknamed Potato-head)
