In the match on 29th Apr, Dravid should have retired hurt instead of conntinued playing. This would have resulted in his team's victory instead of losing by just one run. Why should a limping player continue playing in 20-20 match, when able batsmen are available to take over.
Opening pair shd accelerate their momentum after 7-8 overs so that shah and hodge can be settled well to finish the things off in a delightfull manner.
Rahane may be good player but he is not a match player ! He has failed eveytime under pressure ! He could have taken the risks in last five overs as there were Nine wickets in hand and the asking rate was under contro; but he kept on scoring singles therby shifting the pressure on other players who were not scoring as much as him.

I agree with u mate....things shd b finished off early wn u hv 9wckts in hand...no point in taking d match unnecesaarily to d last over where any mishap can occur...
players like amit misra are a real waster for any team.....the team owners should have a clause in their contract that such players will not get their match fee free....
