windies took the wind out of our batsman with pace and short-pitch stuff,when it was time for our bowlers we had harbhajan,yousuf,jadeja&rohit bowl a total of almost 35overs between them,wonder why we were playing with bhajji&jadeja,on those wickets we need PACERS,not the gentle spin stuff,anyhow yuvi could have done some part-time spin and we could have used ishant and more of nehra too...what's happened to dhoni gameplan and aggressive-attitude...

Whats the use of pacers.. we have 4 pacers (Nehra, RP, Ishnat and Praveen kumar)... Pacers should take atleast 2 to 3 wickets inthe first 10 overs to get control over the game.. See our pacers; they didnt even control the run rate... Currently spinners are doing well... Must replace Jadeja with Ahishek nayar/ badrinath...
Harbajan once in a blue moon depends on poor batting of opponent he becomes hero. He is not attacking bowler like Kumble. Kumble is attacking and he is wicket taker and always economy. There was always fear of Kumble when he bowls. Harbajan for his age and experience he has to be on top at this stage, when he is not now then better he is to be side lined and groom other spinners. He also doesn't have right attitude, controversial in field, doesn't maintain decorom. He should know that he is palying for India. He is equivalent to Shreeshant.

Indian batsmen will play only when the ball is coming on to the bat... If indian crickets followed the above rules, then they will be in No1 posotion. But our palyers are not playing cricket they are acting like cricketers...
Re: Why Bat first?

bcoz batting was weak so it might b more difficult for them to chase. probably this might come into dhoni's mind before selecting bat first.

The bbci has to come out of its mentality and stop promoting players such as gambhir, r.sharma, ravindar jadeja, yousuf pathan, harbhajan singh. all these players except yousuf are test match players and yousuf is only 20/20 player.
now it seems tht the series would be draw (2-2). in absense of key player, india is lookin inconsistent. prb is- bowling is inconsistent always which cnt defend small total of 188. c how easily windis won the match. we really need to think of bowling. it is understood that batting is weak bcoz of absense of of some key player bt how abt bowling ? it is permamnent inconsistent. they were, somehow, able to defend 340 in 1st match bt indian could never been a threat to any team. ysterday they were unable to attack on WI players. dhoni did exceptional well bt it seems tht as a captain his golden days hv gone now. bcoz players r unable to perform.
