In his last inning, Drvaid was looking like as if he has batted for full day (90 overs. I wonder why these guys dont take retirement when they dont have enough stamina to play these shorter version of the games.

Dravid accelerates at his later part of his innings. He is one of the top scorers in the match along with Sachin. You may want to assign some blame to other batsman like Raina that get out and pressure other batsman. May be they should try to figure out and start scoring some runs, i.e atleast 10 runs would help! Dcuk is not acceptable!
Wondering how many of the readers here support Suresh Raina. I love his fielding. But, think, he is a lousy batsman. He can't play fast bolwers. He cant play swing bowling. I am predicting this guy is most likely to contribute nothing at position 3 or 4 and Dhoni's trust in this guy is misplaced!

So what - raina & RP are best friend of Dhoni. They will alwys be in team as long as dhoni is captan. Player like nayar/rohit sharma/sreeshant/balazi etc has to sit out as they are not dhonis friennds. Other friends of dhoni waiting in Indian team- Gony,Goginder sharma.

I like Raina's play - batting especially . Of little I have seen so far of his play , I feel he is very gited .
India already having only 2 openers in Sachin and Gambhir. When Gambhir gets injured they should have send Openers as replacements like Uthappa scored 150 n.o in finals of corporate trophy Murali Vijay who opens in tests and some other young openers rather than sending virat kohli who is a middle order bastman who is very young This is the real stupidity by Srikanth and co for the first time in their tenure so far
Take Karthik out of team.Play Abishek Nayar or even mishra. Karthik only can score 20 runs max which nayar/mishra can score and also they can bowl. By seeing karthik finding difficult to face the ball the opppsite team get encouraged and geared up so that they are firing on all batsman. Yusuf Pathan should open.If he clicks then he is unstoppable. Raina at 3,Yuv at 4,Dravid at 5,Dhoni at 6,Nayar at 7,Bhaji,Ishant,RP/Nehra or Praveen to follow. Open the bowling with Ishant. and the fielding have to spot on. Yuvi have to be at important positions Point when fasties are on/Short third man or fine leg when spinners are on. Dravid should field in the inner ring. Boundary fielders should be sachin/fast bowlers and Pathan
FRIENDS PLS DONT SAY ANYTHING BAD FOR DRAVID. TODAY DRAVID WILL SCORE 5O, IS THAT SUFFICIENT FOR U ALL....? OKIE 70 THAT'S IT! BUTTTT THOSE 70 OUT OF 160 BALLS.

And ur dhoni will sore 25 not out in 45 balls to inflate his average & keep captaincy intact. If India has to win match either Sachin or dravid has to make a big score. Remaining are capable to bat only on dead paitches.

IF YOU HAVE DARE TO PLAY THEN GO AT PITCH AND START MAKING CENTURIES,BUT IF YOU DNT HAV COURAGE,THEN STOP CRITICISING A GREAT PLAYER.BECAUSE CRITICISING OTHERS IS TOO EASY RATHER THAN PLAYING FOR NATION

But our captan dhoni strike rate is less than 100 even in T-20 which no other international top order batsman has got.
