Batting has been india's superstrength always.But bowlers never were upto mark, barring few greatslike anil, binny & kapil. This always created extreme pressure on our batsmen. however good u may be, u cant perform under continuos pressure. Now when bowlers perform well, batsmen r more confident and play well without worries. Bravo bowlers. keep perfoming well and relieve stress on our batters. India needs to have a lot of bowlers with international competence. look at joginder sharma ! How can he be selected. It proves that lot of wrong things r happening in selection & then we keep on blaming the likes of tendulkar and dravid and dada. Dada is my real hero. he is a spirited man in and out.
Well done. Congratulations to Mahinder Singh Dhoni and his team. I saw the match on tv and the way the Indian team played was something else. To knockout Soth Africa and deny them 26 runs needed to qualify was done by highly motivated players. Personlly, as a Pakistani, I am happy we are not playing you in the semi finals. May god help Australia if India retains the same form and motivation.
The nucleus of this Indian team - Yuvi,Dhoni etc take a lot of inspiration from our Beloved Dada. The Bengal Tiger has infused so much life into this your team. DADA ROCKS !!! DADA is the BEST !!!!
It has been proved that 20-20 is a brainless slog fest. Anyone able to slog for a few overs will be able to propel his team. There is no tact, patience, skill, strategy involved. Bowlers are reduced to mere puuppets in the hands of the pitch. No wonder mediocre teams like India and Zimbabwe who are able to play a few good overs will do well in this game. 50-50 was a corrupt form of Test Cricket (the real cricket) and 20-20 signals the death of cricket in its most bas*ardized form.

ur saying that bt m sure ur still gonna watch Ind-Aus match. Times have changed buddy nobodys got d time 2 wait for 5 days to get d result 'n tht too draw many times(wat a shithole of a result)
If ICC want 2 globalize cricket this is d only way out. And by the way who said its nightmare for bowlers havent u seen Vettori Harbhajan singn RP in the series? In fact i feel it gives chance 2 even bowlers batsmen tend 2 make mistake while going for the kill.
Dont criticize plz if u dnt like it dnt watch it ur views arent going to shut the 20-20 mania ok?
the young indian side deserves all praise for The excellent two games it played. Without the best players it did well. I hope they beat Australia too. They are capable of upsetting Australia if they bowl and field as they did against south africa. all the best India.
