its not the end of the world. The key is to learn from the errors and not repeat them. Int'l teams have experts that do this analysis over and over, so lets leave them with the post-loss surgery.
Being upset since your team lost is one thing, and going personal and commenting mindlessly about Yuvraj Singh's batting powers, or Dhoni's captaincy is juvenile.
Throughout cricket, India has suffered due to poor bowling. In one day cricket, India has suffered due to lack of good quality bowlers, specially good consistent bowlers in the end overs. Unless, India overcomes this deficiency, it will be difficult to consistently win big tournaments.

Except Praveen Kumar, none of them can be considered good consistent bowlers.

Unfortunate, India lost the game they could have won due to politics.

Yes Ishanth Sharma super duper flop but hit in practice matches........
The Indian players played with more passion in the club based IPL than for the country. Suresh Raina is a typical example. In the world cup his batting was senseless, swinging at every ball from the word go, that too playing at No 3. Against England you could see him up on the balcony laughing away to jokes, when we were sure to lose the match, playing the 18th over. So much for so called seriousness and patriotism shown thru pretension.
Dhoni made the same mistakes in IPL and the world cup. Instead of recalling a dashing opener like Sachin or someone else in lieu of Sehwag, he opts for karthik to warm up the bench. What use could he be.
You cant expect Rohit Sharma to play a World cup as an opener and do magic in English conditions. That was expecting too much of him and his old slot of No.5 was wasted totally.
The Australian or English women cricketers can bat better than Dhoni who keeps running forward to every bowler to tap the ball on some side to take a single. Whats wrong with him. He needs now a 6 month break. So much more modelling to do. Yusuf Pathan is a waste, who has no technique. The only thing you can do with him is to send him to bat with 4 overs remaining and ask him to score a fast 40 runs. He succeeds once in 15 matches. Gambhir was totally out of touch. Jadeja is too young and has no physical strength even to hit a boundary. This guy was sent ahead of Yuvi!
Practise at nets was an option, it seems. How ridiculous, for 2 "do or die" matches.
