Complacency and underestimation of the opponents have set in the minds of Indian team. The result is defeat in the hands of S.A. STOP DREAMING OF WINNING WORLD CUP AND PLAY YOUR BEST GAME AS IT COMES NATURALLY. World Cup will be in your feet.
Dhoni plays safe game for himself by having 7 batsmen, less responsiblity on batsmen. Need not to be consistent with batting. One or two among 7 will click..decent score so no one blames individual.
For bowlers not same case, they already one short & they can not hide.
Last match I felt Gambhir is the loose link, when sachin & sehwag batted... it looked so simple. Gambhir was struggling.

Yes true , Gambhir was struggling his strike rate was much below 100 , middle order collapsed,Dhoni was avoiding facing balls, he takes single and go to non striking end,Nehra was just Useless
Our cricketers are hiding their talent for upcoming IPL. They get double reward in the next bid if they score good in IPL, what is the use of getting injured in WC and not playing in IPL. Also they hardly get time practicing after their busy advertising schedule. I think Don Dhoni leads the team todards distruction. He is competing with Legend Tendu in advertising market.
Indian team captain and the coach should stop experimenting with the batting order and use not inform bowler for the death overs.You will only lose the match and the cup!Nehra is a misfit give chance to Raina and stick to Zahir and Munaf as opening bowlers.This would be a deadly combination to weather any storm in the tea cup!Bit please dont experiment.Best of luck.
TOP NON PERFOMERS FROM INDIA SIDE MSD-- 12 RUNS,21BALLS,ZERO FOUR,ZERO SIX,STRIKE RATE 57 !!! NEHRA-- 8.4 OVERS,zero maiden, 65 runs , ZERO wickets , 7.5 run per overs Compare statistics with SA BATMAN LIKE BOTHA,DUMMINY,PETERSON AND BOWLER LIKE STYN
This is a very common thing in this world cup. India is not an exception.If the top three batsmen consumed over 40 overs, rest of the batsmen failed miserably.
India, Sri Lanka, Australia, South Africa - all have seen this in this world cup.So, be careful.
The sick captain. Whats the captains job? Does Dhoni understand that? Had if he discussed with the batsman, not to go for big hits, rotate and take singles, another 20 or 30 runs would be there. Every batsman came and went for hook shot, big hits, and got out. Mere stupidity. Dhoni should stop giving comments against his team mates. Sree gave more runs in his first match, and since then Dhoni decided not to include him in team 11. Dhoni often gives comments to channels, that he had repriminded Sree, bla bla. What about the other team players, bowlers? They too give aggressivness, and some time sledge. This is game of cricket. All these are to be included. Instead of supporting Sree, this captain is against him. What ever, its stupid captaincy. Its high time Dhoni removed as captaincy ship. By the way how much runs this captain has contirbuted so far in this WC? Sehwag and Sachin gave good opening stand. Initially the score was expected to reach 350. All effort waste
