Why are you defending Mr Dhoni.....I know you are a good leader and will protec your team. We lost today not because of rain ,weather but because of bowling.....Sreesanth sealed it for SL in 3rd over itself with wayward balling. That was the turning point. After that we were not penetrative enough and the Srilankans applied common sense to win the match. So simple.Isnt is M S Dhoni.

Mahendar is exposing his own insecurities in blaming rain and fearing to blame Yuvi. He needs to tone up his leadership skills and learn to call a spade a spade.

Why didn't Dhoni say that the wrong decisions given by the umpires help India to win against AUS in the previous match.
Gilchrist was NOT OUT lbw and Tendulkar was clearly OUT caught behind.
And inspite that india made 160 runs in 47 odd overs. HA HA!

U r wrong Mr Siddhartha yuvi's only qualification is nt being dhonis frnd but also a broker between deepika n dhoni.Wen yuvi is nt hvng time tht time dhoni can go fr her else vice versa.so dhoni hv to back him to the end.
dhoni is talking just nonsence. "It wasn't as if our bowlers were bowling badly. But they [Sri Lankans] took the risks and were successful," he said. shrilankans have come to play & win. Mr. dhobi, u want to say that if they dont took risk then u would have won the match. then what u & your bowlers were doing? just waiting for their mistakes? idiote.....!
WHEN YOU ARE CHASING 154 RUNS IN 21 OVERS, ITS LIKE YOU ARE PLAYING TWENTY TWENTY MATCH AND THE TARGET WAS VERY LESS DUE TO DC METHOD. I THINK DUE TO OVERS/RUN REDUCED, INDIA LOOSE THIS MATCH. ANYWAY ALL THE BEST TO INDIA FOR THEIR NEXT MATCH.

India has defended similar target in 20-20 match but today they lost because they bowled BADLY. Its straight forward.
The comments are making me laugh, The guys who knows cricket well will never tell today that india has lost to srilanka, It is due to revised target that made easy to them.If india could have batted second we could have also chased the target. I dont acceept revised target.
21 OVERS AND 154 IS HUGE TASK, EVEN OUR OWN PLAYERS WILL NOT PLAY , THEY PLAYED VERY WELL, TRY TO APPRECIATE,BOWLING FROM THEBEGINNING SHOULD BE TIGHT, IT IS UPTO THE BOWLERS HOW YOU ARE GOING TO BOWL, DONT ALLOW THEM TO HIT,

my friend, you should know that any world class bowler will be hit, if it 20 overs match. I think, if we are knowing before that it is 20 overs match, we would have scored 200 runs. so don't blame our bowlers. it is match, anything can happen.

Do you know what is cricket.Who played well Malinga bowling , First he should know how to bowl. Indian team is a young team with lots of energy.
Dhone is trying to get all sought of reasons to escape from the poor show. Even, we played for less number of overs. Why we haven't played such aggersive strikes like Sanath. We could manage to move the run rate in 6 / over..
What a pitty?? Dhoni is saying b'cos of less over game Lankans have won the game.. this is absurd Dhoni.. you are person who have to take responsibity..don't try to justify

C'mon stand up and take defeat like a man. Accepting a problem and making excuses, is half the solution itself. No point talking a like a politician and passing the buck.
