India not favorites from now on helpless bowlers..cant defend mamoth 338 then can help...india can only win WC if they win all the tosses and chase in all the ties..else we r a gone case..
I would have preferred Strauss' Photo here as his innings was better under presure.He is a young player compared to Tendulkar and has pressure of Captaincy. Tendulkar's responsibility - Just batsman . Not burdened with team thinking( schoolboy). Do not compare Tendulkar with Captains.

If Tendulkar is schoolboy, then u should be regarded as mentally retarded baby to talk all this bullshit. what a true indian!!!
Again brilliance of sachin batting & stupidity of dhobi captaincy was visible in today's match. Dhobi manipulation , selfishness & politics at its best.
India lost the plot when dhobi promoted his batting order & came ahhead of pathan & could manage only 30 runs in 25 balls in power play. He always promote his batting order when condition is easy & no pressure (india was 240/2) so that he can make few runs with not out & maintain his batting average. He knows that pathan is bigger hitter than him but then he is always selfish.
Also his captaincy skill was purely exposed when he allowed 338 to be chased without applying any pressure. As i told before wcup- only seniors like sachin, sehwag & zaheer are true match winners while dhoni & his rest of chamcha sena are useless. Anyway tantrik vidya of dhoni helped & india could manage atleast tie. What a lucky guy he is?
Sachin brillaince with bat & one excellent over of zaheer again saved match for India.
But I still feel that tantrik vidya & luck of dhobi may win wcup for India.

Indians played to the fullest potential possible. What else you want 800 runs? Accept the fact that England played better despite India's home advantage. Infact England played bady not to win. However the TIE is the best result possible.WIN and Loss happens everyday.TIE is unique. Enjoy.
Dhoni made such a mistake when he opted for Yuvraj at 2 down. The stage was set with a huge score and just 20 overs left with spinners bowling -- perfect for Pathan to come in. Yuvraj was playing for his own score, not for the match. Lucky we got away with a draw.
Many people bash Sachin that his century was in vain. Not his fault! Others have to play very well. If not for Pathan's cameo, India would have lost the match!
Dhoni deserves a slap on the face! Also for selecting that Chawla. Sreesanth is a must for tough games like England and Australia.
