accept that best teams through semis...aus,srlanka,WI,pak.....india was just a good team not better for sure to qualify. even if target was clear, india does not seen aggressive to win with margin, that shows their lacking attitude which should not be there for a champion team..our captain short in aggression and plans.

dude, even Kenya defeated WI in some world cup league stage. Do u say they were better than WI at that stage? Our bowlers are the biggestpussies in the team, they are so inconsistent.

Kutty, partially agree with you. But a large part of the blame goes to the batsmen as well. Dragging the match till the last ball and scoring slowly during the death is also to be blamed as much as Sehwag and Gambhir's poor performance. Irfan and Balaji have done well in the bowling I felt......

sri lanka lost to south africa badly and topped in the losers group and entered in the semis while despit they topped in earlier matches got placed in winners group and lost all the matches.
Teams that came in better prepared reached semis. Perhaps West indies was lucky as the Kiwis were da better prepared team.
Indian millionaires took it easy. They dont have time for any preparatory work. They treat each touranament as match paractice ofr IPL. They just know dat fans will wait for ever, even if these IPL stalwarts cannot win a single T20 tournament if it is not played in India.
Inspite of SA doing favor by gifting first 2 wickets, MS returned by his questionable decisions of giving Irfan 3rd over( when Zahir was not impressive in 3rd), rohit Bowling before Ashwin who should have finished his 4 overs before SA reached 121. His field placing was again a ? mark, did try to block singles when the target was getting closer.(after SA reached 90-95

Exactly my thoughts. It seemed like Dhoni was just trying to win the match rather than restrict SA to 121.

This is a cricket related article and has nothing to do with Rahul. Stop posting at irrelevant forums.
I'm Indian fan, but I still think Pak is better team to beat/compete in semis, Indian batting was so pathetic, sharma played like it was One day match, wasted the whole over, and I think it was probably the first maiden over in t20.

Re: 5 matches 4 wins still not qualified

Poor luck this time. India wins 4 out of 5. Still does not make to Semis. While WI Won only 2 matches (lost 2 and 1 tied decided by super over) is in Semis. But its okay because in some earlier tournaments, WI were only to get knocked out..This time luck is favoring them. Hope they win the cup too.
