I'm taking the liberty to post something on an Indian site for the first time and boy am I enlightened at the venom and hatered Indians harbor for Pakistanis.
Anyways, just to reiterate, I could care less. Team Pakistan basically reinforced the age old fact that we OWN Indian Team; all day everyday!
Cheers to all of you and might I suggest that you kind folks accumulate all the rotten tomatoes and eggs you can find as the Aussies have just won the toss and your team of sexually starved degenerates are in for a long haul. BTW, I'm as Pakistani as it gets!
ISHANT: Got too wealthy too quick and forgot to bowl. One wonders why he keep bowling short and wide out offstump.
RP: Got Too wealthy and care less about his cricket now
YUSUF: Good for T20 only.. 50 overs are too many for him to survive.
HARBHAJAN: Not the best choice for the front line spinner. (Yes he took 5 in last game against SriLanka in SriLaka, but it was huge turner and the spinners were expected to do that. He bowled average in that game as well and Thanks to Tendulya that India won that game).
DHONI: Using his captaincy to perfecton by keep promoting himself ahead of more talented batsmen like Raina. Dhoni needs to go back to the old dhoni-come down the order and slog it as required.. Why didn't he let Raina bowl today? Not even a single over to Raina? Especially when Kohni's nonsense medium pace and Bhajji/Pathan were going for runs? Strang!!
For the first time in my life, i am going to blame Dravid, for yesterday's failure....!!
As many people said here, he played his role for what he was selected. However, it was because of him, other batsmen had to rush for runs and lost their wickets....!! Simply with his experience he could not rotate the strike and keep the score board ticking with min 6 runs per over...!!
Dhoni's captaincy was also poor..... You can see how many time he came at no. 3 when openers were made good total with great run rate and he used to improve his average. Why he sent Kohli ahead of him????
Also, since RP couldn't make any impact in SL series, why he has not given a chance to Pravin kumar in SA's seaming conditions...??
I will not blame Pathan, any way he is a gambling, but Nair could replace him as we need pace bowling alrounder in SA...!!
Any way, best of luck next time... still we can win the CT.

Lets do not blame Dravid for this game loss.Just face it that according to Dravid still of bating he can win matches for india only when the target is velow 270-280.If india has to chase anything above 300 then Dravid can only play as a sheet anchor role and some body else like tendulkar, shewag etc has to take the charge

Dravid has been selected for a specific role...he did his role to perfection....other so many youngsters who have been selected on fast scoring abilities...what they did ? ....Dhoni, Phatan, khohli?...mind u at 35th over India`s position was still very much safe....before making comments here better to understand the game much better..

Rahul has played in well manner, the wickets are falling another end he got 70 with strike rate also 70 this more then enough. others failure don't blame Dravid he also one of the best cricketer ( in 3 forms ) in the world
26/9 Black day for Indian Cricket, i can only say that, > >Yesterday, The Day of Mahaashtami, celebration was up to evening then all of sudden night comes blacker. > >I Beleave that Every thing is possible in world, nothing is impossible. but however Pakistan win over India is undigestable. > >yesterday Big Indian Stars (Sachin MS dhoni Pathan, Bhajji, Ishant) was down under. But I appreciated Gautam & Suresh Raina & Rahul Dravid for their fight, Ashish Nehra for his brilliant spell & some good fieiding of Virat & Raina. > >for Pakistan side brilliant batting display by Yusuf & shoiab mallik. Our Star Batsmen must learn from them. we lost match over 5 overs remaining, if our batsman try to set on the wicket, then may be story changed today. > >But True words we lost from Pakistan, the bloody country who always try to disturb our unity, murdered our people. > >26/09 is gone & always remember as Black day for India Cricket. >
We used to boast we have the best spinners in the world. Did anyone notice the beauty of spin Afridi was generating.... Why we dont have class spinners. It is time for Harbajan to retire....his fighting spirit is only on street.
Do not expect much from nehra, It was only tha fact that other fast bowlers are below avaerage that is why nehara looks extraordinaory.Believe me even the C grade side of westindies have a better fast bowling attack (tongue, Raphe who bowls 150 k.m pace) than india.
If india can not groom fast bowler then may be it can invest in some other countries like westindies, pakistan, australia etc , and can hire new pools of fastbowler who can hold the indian flag high for our country.With BCCI being the richest board in the world , india can definately afford to do it.It is simply disgusting that India with a population 100 crore is not able to produce world class fast bowler after Kapil and srinath
