Despite good start, India lost four wickets for 32 runs. Virat Kohli has started playing like Sachin, scoring freely at the initial games but failing at the crucial stage. He was dismissed for just 1 run.

Good effort.

This very idea is not in line , with how much efforts put up by our rejuvaneted team would not have been realised to our public . Could be cheap publicity for Sreesanth , who does not even have a face to face anything .In my openion , it would be anybody's game on their day !Any of the four from here. For sure!Muralisharma

I feel now that Sreesanth was telling the truth, and the real truth. Do you agree?

Welcome Sangomji...Now with a bomb shell!!

Thank you Shri Ganeshji! I missed the above post while responding to the one below.

I think for Sreesanth it is "grapes are sour syndrome"...He is now a dejected man in Cricket...Do you think Australia, South Africa or New Zealand are going to handover the Cup to India on a silver platter..No way..Game is getting more competitive

Don't you now think Sreesanth was right on the mark and that his words were not out of "sour grapes syndrome"?

Six reasons why Team India is flying home

It was never meant to be easy. But few had expected such a one-sided affair. After Team India’s dream run in the group stage, many thought that Dhoni’s boys could turn the tables on Michael Clarke’s men. Some also hoped that the significant presence of Indians at Sydney Cricket Ground would also lift the Men in Blue. But nothing really worked in India’s favour on Thursday. Here’s why:
Losing the toss:
No early inroads for India:
Strength of Aussie batting: I In contrast, India lacked batting depth.
Bowling lacks bite:
Failure of Indian top order:
Middle-order also falls to pressure:

Aussee won the toss and chose to bat; this position is not good for India. I am worried. SCG will help spinners when ashwin and jadeja will be our winning hero; so, if we India bat first, then spinners can get aussee out. so, we r in dis advantageous positon - srinivasan

hi

your predictions are correct...

 

[sudeshwer]

not only 'Fish prediction' but also others' hopes r dashed - srinivasan

Nice to see you in forum, Sangom Sir.

Sreesanth knows the real nature of the advertisers, who use our cricket stars to promote their products! :spy:

In a few matches, I could imagine 'suitcases' being handed over to 'some' teams!

It is NOT easy to win a cup, just by shouting 'We won't give it back'. :nono:

 

[sudeshwer]

to my little knowledge I could say Aussee played well but at the sametime I shud not forget to say there were lots of opportunities for India to do better. only Dhoni cannot do everything. take the case of Kohli, he was totally stupid to hit the ball such a height; that too so close it dropped at WK's hands; the ball didnt go anywhere; he shud have hit the ball towards pavilion. possibly, I wish I am wrong and Ganguli will scold me, Kohli was trying to impress his girl-friend sitting in the pavilion to show her how he hits sixer; stupid fellow. also, NZ after winning their SF preferred Aussee for the final. In fact, I will say I prefer SA to clash NZ in the final because both were giants. all newspapers have 'high praize' for him Villiers for the way he played. when SA left weeping/crying, why not we Indians. let it be so. Final match between NZ and Aussee will be one-sided. NZ wll win. I dont really rate Aussee high; in fact, JOhnson shud have been fined for his behavior; he taunted Raina and when Umpire intervened he was orguing with Umpire also - srinivasan

 

[sudeshwer]

yes Mam we Indians over-reacted. "'we won't give it back' who r y to give, we will take it from y". that is what happened - srinivasan

.......... Losing the toss:

Strength of Aussie batting: I In contrast, India lacked batting depth.

ONLY the first one comes under bad luck.

Others are all lack of our strength! :sad:

 

[biswa]

No shame. Aussies are a much better team at this point. Specially on home ground.

At home even NZ is unbeatable. But they wont play the final at home. Australia FTW!

 

[tbs]

hi

next....its hard time at home ground for indian team.....

 

[sudeshwer]

now NZ/Aussee final at MCG on sunday. NZ cricket grounds are small; small click, ball will run into four and six whereas AU grounds are big. therefore. NZ players particularly McCullam and Cuptill will not have much chance. for Aussee, MCG is their home ground; so, it is advantageous. at the sametime. I must say Aussee's coordination and grouping are poor. Y see I read lots of cricket politics here among cricketers. everyone critisize everyone; sometime calling names. this demorilise the players. Clarke is under great prerssure; he was kept for captainship for weeks together; in fact one day he did say he is prepared to play even under Steve Smith. anyway, final is being played. personally I wish NZ takes the Cup; f y ask me why I cannot say; possibly I don t le Aussee arrgancy - srinivasan

One of the main reasons for India's defeat in the Semi Final was Dhoni's lack of interaction with the players. Though Yadav took four wickets and Shami wicketless, they have conceded 140 runs among themselves. The role of Jadeja was not clear in an important match like this. Mohit Sharma was not very effective.

Dhoni might have thought that once again luck would smile his way, by retaining the same team. Unfortunately, it was not so. Captain must be highly imaginative in a match like this. At least Stuart Binny or Bhuvaneshwar Kumar should have been included in place of Mohit Sharma. Binny is reasonably a good batsman also.

Overall, India's performance overseas against goods sides was generally not upto the mark. We have not qualified for knock out stages during 1992 and 2007 world cups played in Australia and West Indies respectively.

IPL begins in the second week of April and till such time, Virat will have good amusement.

Agree - some people played hero selfish record sports and really destroyed the game as well as team spirit. Happy things came back under Dhoni's captaincy.

You seem to have prejudice against Dhoni. He is the best cricket captain as well as performer that Indian team has ever seen! He won all straight 7, how come suddenly one can see so many issues.. what about the wins then?

 

[tbs]

hi

there is a proverb in english .....OPERATION SUCCESS ....BUT PATIENT DIED.....WE PLAYED WELL....BUT WE LOST THE WORLD

CUP......sometimes when we won the game........every jumps from earth to sky......but when we lost.....we lost our mental

balance.... ONLY ONE CAN GET CUP ....NOT EVERYBODY.....llike LIFE IS A GAME...WINNING/LOSING IS PART OF ANY GAME....

WE BEHAVE SOMETIMES LIKE....VACCCHA KUDUMI....SERACCHA MOTTAI....WE DONT KNOW MIDDLE PATH...

Yes sir, the blame game has began.
Dhoni is the best thing happened to Indian Cricket in all formats, he is the best cricketer, and great captain.
