I am not sure who you are bashing in angeer. Most of the stick is now out on Dhoni.
The real problem as I have been pointing out for quite sometime and getting critized by fellow rediffers is this: India is a hyped team and they are not good especially in bowling, fielding and half the time also in batting.
Just because of the hype, all of you assume India is strong and now let out your anger. What more can you expect from this team (or for that matter any team from India? Only reason they are at least at the league stage is because of the commercial interests and these commercial folks make india win using commercial means. That is all.
A tournament has been tailored in such a way that India would live for 1 month satisfying the commercial folks.
Be your age folks. Accept reality that India is really sixth or seventh seeded team in this tournament and certainly behind england in true potential. So a tie is certainly a gift given by england (may be with some cuts in the commercials as well).
If you have doubts in my sayings, please refer my ranking posted at the start of the tournament at one of the rediff cricket discussion board.

Sakar Panch is right. I mean seriously, do you believe that India will win the tournament based on batting alone ? the fielding and Bowling is pathetic to say the least.
Had it been Aussies/SA /Porkistan/SL and even ENG, they would have been able to defend the 338 score with ease.
look at the bowling options that we got. We are basically dependent on 2 bowlers. The other 3 bowlers seem to be on some visiting tour where nothing is expected from them. Even the 2 that we depend on are not that great either, atleast when compared to rest of the crowd.
India will NEVER WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH SUCH A BOWLING ATTACK.
You know why we won the 83 world cup ? we had bowlers like madan lal, binny, bedi and above all Kapil
As a cricket match the tied ODI in the world cup 2011 was an exciting affair. But noone seems to look at it as CRICKET MATCH but everyone whether it is dedicated sports channel or News Channel seem to look at it one way as a victory tio India.
How m,any hours every day is wasted by the News Channel on Cricket? It is really surprising that these Dedicated News Channels have nothing else to discuss other than Cricket. God alone can help this country.

Well said. And these media is creating another hype that India would be a 'super power' in 2020 and "number 1 economy' in 2050 and all of us are expected to consume these bluffs also with the hype about the strength of indian cricket team!
Funny!
BTW, Venkatachalam what was your intention in wasting your precious seconds in this dicussion board???
Thanks to Dhoni's inept handling of field placement and poor fielding by the Indian team. Even the normally super agile Kholi was off color. Dhoni better pull up your socks soon or Captain will become Captain Cold!!
the lower order batting has screwed up this match. The upper batting did well and very hard to understand why the Dhoni, kohli and pathan had hard time to score in the same fashion while the wicket was supportive. Awake up yusuf, need prove yourself again.
