more often than not we tend to cover up our failings and mistakes. The Indian team lost fair and square to BLDSH with only the much maligned Ganguly and Yuvi scoring. Now we depend on Net run rate, duckworth lewis,swamijis,meditation and all possible permutations and combinations while the truth is we would not be in this quagmire if sachin,rahul,dhoni,uthappa etc had all done their jobs. Remember...HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY !!! if this is our game despite all the tom-toming about preparations,flexible players, mind games etc by Chappell-Dravid Inc then do we really deserve to even go into the next round ??And if losing was not enough, we have morons in India who take up cudgels, burn effigies, threaten families and worse...start vandalising and breaking property belonging to Dhoni etc. Appeal to everyone, our players are not probably world cup winning material...probably they never will be. Lets atleast not lose our rational sense and act like medieval witch-hunters

Under similar conditions and against the same side [Bangla Desh] Compare and contrast the performance of India and Sri Lanka. The Lankans are miles ahead in all the depatrments of the game and we are hoping and praying! How far Luck alone can carry us?
