some valid reasons for the failure of india T20 team in ICC chmampionship 2010.
the cheer leaders were blacks not european or bollywood type.
there was no authentic tandoori roti and palak paneer in west indies.
playing in indian IPL is more remunerative than playing under international conditions.
indian batsmen are tired and stale after the grueling IPL20 championship in india!
the IPL fiasco on account of tharoor-modi dispute had unnerved them.
unfortunately they had not played on true fast pitches and against true fast bowlers in recent times under real conditions. their experiences was limited to dead one devoid of life.
I saw the first few overs of the chase and the AUssies, esp Tait clearly overdid the short pitched stuff. And the umpires didnt help either, when they should have called a few of these wides. 2020 is a batsmans sport, and bouncers and beamers have no place in it. If AUssies wanted to do all this,let them do it at their beloved WACA. Its disappointing that everyone, esp Gavaskar during commentary, is talking about inability of indian batsman, but when faced with bowling to the ribcage, any team will suffer. India'll fight back for sure!!

Let's hope so. Next two match is crucial for India now. We are really missing Sachin!. May be selectors should have considered Ashwin, Tiwary in the place of Vijay, Jadeja.
