Guys,Don't keep comparing with other teams. In games, one should concentrate when it is really required. After that there is no need to keep the intensity. It is not worth it. A guy who is in slips shold just concentrate for few seconds per all not all through the 3-4 minutes of the over.

well...ur selction is fine for the world cup... bt u 4 got to type tht ur slctn is for test wrld cup (which doesnt happen as sch) nd not for the odi version
if send...to a wc..this team wld repeat 2007 wc histroy...ie. losing to bngldesh...nd cumin bck home...in frst round
y dhoni is guilty? coz, he knew they didnt even gv a reasonable fight in the odi n they were only responsible for the lack of interest in the last odi after wining series n also knew they had done no hard plan goin in the last odi as they were busy sight seeing in nz the prev day.
once the ball started moving n pitches becoming typical like that of nz , our batsman started showing their true technical weakness. heros of flat bed pitch including dhoni, got them on the wrong foot today.

That's true Indian batsmen shown their weakness for good bowling pitch. They want flat pitches and play cricket like baseball...

well batsmen did fall dwn...agnst swing...bt wht cost us the mtch is no swing in scnd inng.
i still v hav a gud nouf battn line up..to put good scre...on swinging trcks..in tests...
bt moreover our bwlrs r capable of bowling nz out for...100 if our btsman score 150...
today more bowlers like munaf,zaheer,irfan should playing on afraiding pitches useful for bowlers and not extra batsmen like rohit sehwag cant bat on afraiding pitch and good on only happy pitch for batsman ball not having movement but jaffer playing good on this type pitch opening job tough always kaif is pressure batsman and not careless like Raina yousuf should come at 3 position he is not pressure batsman yousuf not given chance to bowl today but ishanth useless bowler bowling lot of overs today also praveen in other matches
best india team for winning on afraiding pitches:
jaffer sachin yousuf yuvraj kaif doni irfan harbajan zaheer munaf rp sing

sehwag is the one who can play on any pitch not like dhoni, yuv,etc
Re: appreciated,DHONI

NO GAME PLAN, THERE WAS NO NEED TO PLAY RISCKY SHOT BY GAMBHIR SEHWAG,RAINA BECAUSE THE AVG RR WAS GOOD ENOUGH
I THNK THE WICKET OF SURES RAINA IS D TURNING POINT OF D GAME.WHILE VIRU WAS GOING HEAVILY AFTER D BOWLERS HE MADE D MISTAKE BY PLAYING D AGGRESSIVE SHOT WHICH TRIGGERED HIS DEPARTURE ND DEN ALL CAME AS IF THEY WERE 2 CATCH D TRAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEIR RETURN.HIS WICKET OPENED D DOOR 4 KIWIS 2 XPLOIT D INDIA'S MUCH VAUNTED BATTING LINE UP.NYWAY IT SHOULD SERVE AS AN EYE OPENER 4 D WHOLE UNIT IF THEY WANT 2 B NO-1 ODI TEAM IN NEAR FUTURE WITH CONTINUING D WINNING STREAK LED BY DASHING DHONIIIIIIII.
