It's overall good T-20 team however India need RP Singh, R.Uthappa, Sreesanth in place of Munaf, Rohit and D.Karthik for T-20 WC. I hope selectors will consider them for T-20 WC.

Yes, I think RP Singh and Sreesanth should be in the team. Remember, they were the stars in the World Cup.

Don't over react. It's just first match of the tour. T-20 doesn't show difference of both teams. Wait for ODI and Test series.

Jadeja looked superb in the last ODI match against Sri Lanka. He needs to be given some chances to prove himself.

In NZ P.Kumar should get chance in place of R.Sharma. R.Jadeja can be expensive because of small grounds of NZ.
they lost middle order wickets in quick succession. Had one more player shown steadiness like Raina, the result could be different, because a target of 180 were unreachable by kiwis.

Rohit could really be under pressure for his place in the next t20 for sure... Watch out...
Indian batting heavily depend on Gambhir, Yuvi and Dhoni, because they have ability to switch their game according to the situation. Raina, Sehwag, Yusuf and Rohit are free to play their natural game. They don't have pressure comparison to Gambhir, Dhoni and Yuvi. Unfortunately all three flopped in this match and we lost it. If one of them stay there with Raina result would be different.

they would have stayed if it would have been played here in INDIA... cant help they are subcontinent heroes
Re: Gambhir, Dhoni and Yuvi.........

U r right!!! but rohit isn't playing his natural game either... His body language isn't good atall in the previous matches... i dont know what happened to him or what creeped in to his head???

Rohit was in the team for sheet anchor role, but didn't look like as.
Poor Slumdog indian team, can only be sher in India and der at foreign land. Dhoni's dame luck run out of luck today and days to come he has to be shown the door to exit. Poor captaincy, poor batting, bowling. The signs of crack in the much hyped Indian team has begun to show and it will fall apart, before the next world cup and nothing new this cycle happens between the two WC cups. The flamaboyunt captain has to rework some strategy to cope with Kiwis or his end is near. Whatsay?

To Pramod: One loss and you start jumping up and down for Dhoni's head! Give him a break yaar! He has so many matches for you, give him a chance to falter once in a while!
To All: Have you guys ever noticed, how the match report of rediff and other cricket websites almost always resemble each other so closely! Who copies whom?

Are you serious? India won T-20 WC in SA and CB series in Aus with this team. It's just third tour of this team outside subcontinent which is not finished yet.

Do you rate more T20 WC '07 victory over Kapil's 1983 WC landmark?
Re: Re: Indian team not fit in foreign land

They also shown doors by toddler like Bangladesh in WC'07....He he he
Raina is the hightest average batsman in T20Intls with an amazing 99.00. So my special advice to him: Play well in the nxt match and keep ur average above 100.00!!! Then retire from T20, you will remember like Bradman in future.

But raina has really come up to great maturity compared to his earlier days... he is far far better than rohit and dhoni in batting skills...
all our indians are now cheering up with each other for the OSCAR by SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. A.R.RAHMAN got 2OSCAR.i am partially happy with that because there are so many good artist and good musician in our india equal to and well expert than RAHMAN.but negleting all them, what is the reason for giving OSCAR to RAHMAN.OSCAR members would have just planned to give OSCAR for any other good artist before giving it to RAHMAN.
