It is a graceful defeat. The fine bowling and the fightback till the wire earns respect. It is never good to loose but when the game is lost like this ,no complains.

But our people will have problems even if we lose like this. They say "we came so close but choked"!! Ex: Ind vs Zim 99 WC Ind vs Aus (Hyd, 2009)
Really, Angelo Mathews made a mockery of Australian bowling which was expected from our batsmen ! He showed us how to play Aus bowlers. They landed in Australia few days back only. But he could play better than Sehwag or Sachin ! Our batsmen unnecessarily made heavy weather of their bowling. Useless people.

He played like this because the poor fellow doesn't get the money like our players do!
That "Our ballers have failed us miserably - letting Australian players to score liberally - causing pressure on batsmen". But here Sachin haters are queuing up for his termination / resignation, in spite of his scores ranking among top three.
India should learn from srilakna, for next match bring in pathan instead useless praveen, give rohit one more chance and also tiwari, ask both sehwag and sachin to sit out..

Logical. But this can be tried if: 1. we lose the next match and we need to play the last match only for formality, or 2. we gain an entry to the finals and the last match is only for formality.
