there was a fault in dhoni captaincy, he thought its an ipl match, morely getting habitual of ipl matches, when he bought virat kohli on attack, he must have bowled bhajji from the other end, but he took the wrong decision by bringing pahan at the other end, and both paki batsman settled down, he must have gone only for 2 overs from kohli, as he was beaten in the second over by pakis, i dont know y dhoni missing the fifth bowler, they have abhishek nayar in their team , who is good slow medium pace bowler, can bowl good 4-6 overs of an innings and migt pick up the wickets. he has more temperament and a matured batsman compared to virat. well indian team will be out from the champions trophy, no hopes now.

Kohli bowled complete trash in his four overs. God knows what was he bowling. Dhoni should have atleat give an over to Raina to see if Raina hits the spot. Especially considering recent bowling performnace, Raina is much better part time bowler

dhoni must have played politics to keep the kohli out from the team, as he has his own plaers lined up, that may be the reason he have used kohli s a part timer, kolhi even didnt bowled successfuly in IPL.
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!!

harbhajan : if i cant take wickets and can't hit boundaries, at least i can manhandle press photographers in india :)
Our fast bowlers are really a shame to our team.they dont have any quality and wont find a place in any of test playing national team other than india.coming to the match against aussies rp singh should never be played.also yusuf pathan(eventhough am a fan of his hitting against spinners)a she cant paly against fast bowlers.he should immediately replaced with a.nayar and rp singh with a.mishra.also it is high time to find a replacement for venkatesh prasad as the bowling coach as he coulnt make any improvement with our fast bowlers.to say the least indias bowling is pathetic and forget about beig no.1 with these bunch of stupid bowlers.

Well said. Prasad needs to be replaced as bowling coach. What has he done to retained as the coach? Had he been a part of the IPL teams, he wd have been sacked by the franchisees!

Why all your analysis which is equivalent to Paralysis ?...Its a shame to note that the Pakistani's told that they would win and they did win...Wish Indians had that guts...No wonder Pakistanis are fighters...May all Hindus become Muslims as they cannot fight and are only good for b*a*n*g*l*e*s....
he is big hitter , so i am not understanding why they are giving chance after 6th or 7th-dawn.they are treating like bowler, yousuf replace to dhoni batting lineup.....just think about gilcrist

Boss, u need to understand that we don't have sehwag, yuvraj and rohit sharma. Rohit was sent in as opener in the T20 when he is not an opener but was propmptly dropped based on his form in the t20. The team which has these guys in the team wd definitely be the best in the business. But we are still guided by old and conservative thinking and we go back to dravid. Dravid is a test match player and hardly rotates the strike. Select a proper team, and u wd find we still have the best batting line up.
