Dhoni should take a loss in his stride and stop giving excuses for losing a match.A match is a match.The better team wins on a particular day. India's win over Aussies, thanks to umpiring, was also not a convincing one. India almost made a heavy weather of the whole thing. At the end making it somehow. India's one day batting side is depleted courtesy by out-of-form shewag, Yuvraj and Dhoni among others. Indians should play good cricket and wins every match. If not, they should concede the loss and credits the opposition.

Very sad to see India loose...but it is becoming a habit fr us to see this result every now & then.What the poor Captain will do, when it is a game played by all 11.He has to issue a face saving statement being the Captain.One need not take each & every word uttered by him after the match. He has to play it cutiously so that he doesn't offend any of his mates fr not doing their best on the field...but encourage them on & on...so that atleast they will do well in next match.
However Srilanka won the match by playing the game well in all departments specially batting.It is not correct fr Captain to assume that things would have been different if the score is not reduced.At the pace Srilanka won the game it would not have been too difficult fr them to score the remaining runs if score wd hv bn 196 and winthe match comfortably unlike India. India has made it a habit to become tense however small target is thrown at them...become nervous till the last moment...in this bargain loose more wickets then necessary.
Who can improve them my friends? May God alone do the needful.

One match defeat is not the end of life or game for us.we have to think in entertainment prespective first.If one wins then other shud loose n it wil happen for any team any where.
All said and done it would be Aussie-Sri Lanka finals. India will return home. The finds of the tour are Ishant and Rohit. Flop Stars - Yuvi and Shewag. Raina has been wasted to put it in a nutshell, so too Uthappa by asking him to bat at much lower order instead of sending him to bat at No.3 or 4.
