U need courage to counter short pitch stuff. we are scared about it and tommorow dont be surprised that even if bangladesh would try to scare us with some short stuff. the problem lies with us(indians) we want runs to be scored in every match to touch about 350 and the team batting second also should score 345 and loose the match by 5 runs...then we would think...wow what a great match...but when the same team that scores around 350 could not make 250 on live pitches. We are adapting our young palyers to become batsman on batsman friendly wickets and boy we pamper them...in this case we are discouraging bowlers in making and produce bowlers like vinay kumar, praveen kumar, sreeshant who do not touch 130 ...it is like if our batsmen fail on live pitches...we do not have the arsenal to respond...guys like suresh raina, Mvijay...they know only to play like jesus on indian or indian similar tracks...stop pampering batsman by making friendly wickets lets give some oppurtunity to develop bowlers, good fast bowlers and some world class spinners...
Just now I was listening to Times Now Channel and the TV anchor was asking the new World Chess Champion Vishwanathan Anand about Cricket---would he do the same for Chess or Hockey game with Cricket Player..These NEWS Channels, sorry Entertainment Channels, are just TRP hungry and these anchors just want to hear the participants talk to their tune..
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TECH OF OUR BATSMEN.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BATTING FIRST.SCORING 170 ON BOUNCY TRACK WITH SUCH SHORT PITCH STUFF,ANY TEAM WOULD HAVE LOST. INDIANS AT LEAST SCORED 150. DECISION WENT WRONG AFTER WINNG THE TOSS.INDIANS SHOULD HAVE BATTED FIRST.RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.

yes my dear but result would be more worst, india would be all out within 100 runs if indian opener can't play them after 20 over on that pitch how can they play in the intial over of fresh pitch
Enough with you smartass answers MS ! sure you guys are unfit to play the short pitched stuff BUT what have you as captain and Gary Kirsten as coach done to counter that problem ??? absolutely NOTHING ! we saw what happened to your team in the 2009 world T20 and 12 months from then nothing has changed. The only thing that has happened since then to now is that you guys have become a bunch of jokers who jump around for 6 weeks in a heap of garbage called the IPL, injure yourselves and then get your brown asses owned in a prestigious world tournament.
Indian supporters are not idiots to listen to your rants mister. DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SHORT PITCH CANCER !!!! sheesh ! how can you and your team mates even consider becoming world number 1 ???? bunch of comedians.

And why only batsman? What happened to fielding or bowling or even keeping for that matter? Players have made enough from IPL, they have enough endorsing contracts for next year so why bother? Look at the body language of Yuvraj singh- that idiot has failed in every aspect except partying.Why is he still there?
1)Yusuf pathan should go as opener..why dhoni not using him as same like afridi.."lagi to lucky nai to makkhi".....2) pls. murali vijay may be good in indian pitch but never in W.I. remove him...3.)Remove jadeja 4.) take first batting

You are right.. Murli Vijay and Jadeja are useless Guys... Take a genuine Bowler.... Use Dinesh Karthick at least he looks active on ground

yusuf could be used as opener and dinesh must play and jadeja should be out and give another chance to peeyush chawla
India doesn't deserve to be in the semi finals.So don't pray for India tomorrow. As long as Dhoni doesn't learn from his mistakes, we will not win any major tournament. we always score well when bat first and all the teams opt to bat first if they win the toss, because chasing a good target will always put pressure on the team batting second especially in T-20 matches. Stupid Dhoni opted to field first in both the matches after winning the toss.Including Jadeja against WI after the way the Aussies belted him and going with one bowler short were also his major mistakes. Worst thing is, he doesn't even regret his decisions.
