Why doesnt R. Ashwin get a chance. Is dhoni afraid that his pal Harbhajan's place will be in danger if ashwin does well. And why are Murali vijay and Dinesh Karthik given so many chances inspite of failures. Why not include Robin uttappa and Manish pandey.
This is the most flimsy batting line ever. There is a not a SINGLE player in the team who can survive bowler friendly track/conditions. Sehwag including.
Just saw the match highlights. Umpiring was questionable, but i think Sehwag was out considering where he was playing. If he was outside the crease, that would have been questionable but hawk eye vindicated the decision, going towards leg but still hitting the stumps! UDRS would have uphead the decision! For Raina, he got a life from Asad Rauf but not from Dharmasena! scores leveled! I guess what happened to India is over reliance of Sehwag! I fear he might not become the Tendulkar of 90's for India! India can win against NZ! but NZ would have the edge after they uprooted India for 88! India's nerves would be tested!

Lousy Indians blaming umpires. Only Yuvaraj's LBW decision was really bad. Otherwise, they were pathetic. If Indians bat against NZ in bowler friendly conditions, expect the same result.

I think you are from Srilanka. Srilanka were playing with 13 players and India were with 11 only. That is the reason for the defeat.

I am from Pakistan! Be a sport critic! I can see your frustration but 1-2 decisions even in UDRS (whih in fact India declined to use at the start of the tournament) go bad. Its a part and parcel of the game.
