crucial match against SA...should have selected bhajji/piykush in the place of balaji as SA not gud players of spin...promoting R.Sharma is biggest blunder
1. Worst performance against australia 2. The target of 130 against pakistan was very easy but they did not complete within 15 to 16 overs. (I feel that this was known to everybody) 3. We made 15 runs less against SA
In my view we lost the place in semi, when we won against pakistan
To compete with an International team physical fitness as well as intensive practice is required. Also there should be rigorous test methods for selection process and flow of money from advertisement should be banned. There should be fear in player's mind that, playing next game is depending on player's current performance.

its like simple perform or perish..dhoni played defensive in some games..made wrong decisons
It is time for Sehwag to go. Highly irresponsible batting and attitude. Is there any sincerity in his batting nowadays. For him, every game is like a casual stroll in the park. Does not show a fighting attitude as an opening batsmen even in one game nowadays. Gets out within 3 to 4 overs and opens up a big hole in our batting. What is his contribution to Indian cricket now? Must be thrown out.
Gambir days are over. He has forgotten how to bat. Simply keeps rushing out to evey bowler and plays a false shot. Struggles against any bowling line-up. Yuvraj was a waste now. He is only 50% of his oldself. Needs another 1 year to get back. Selection mistake.
The team selection also was not right. Why was Bhaaji taken back for such an important event, when so many other spinners could hv been tried.
Suresh Raina's talent wasted sending him so late at No.7. That decision was horrible.
Too many chances given to Rohit Sharma. Not consistent at all. Must have played atleast 100 games for India now. Still not sure of his abilities. Bowling too weak. Zaheer Khan virtually did nothing.
Dhoni never showed any enterprise in his captaincy. Looked like another series of cricket games for all players, not the World cup. Was there any spirited attempt shown by all to get into the Semis. Afghanistan team which practised cricket in a Pak refugee camp gave us a fight and nearly beat us. Too much money from IPL has spoilt players
Indians do not play with a game plan. In the match with Pak we did not accelerate though we had wickets in hand. Probably our batters did not know by which over they should finish. Again in match with SA our batters wilted under pressure. Dhoni for reasons best known to him is not willing to either open or come at no. 3 though the matches are for 20 overs only.Our team management needs to rethink on these lines to be successful.
Please check the record when sachin scores hundred India lose match, but the big observation is when Virat kohli performed in the series we disqualify to get into semis. Check all previous record I did n surprise .

I feel it has its own meaning when you have sachin in your team. When sachin was in team india won the world cup now even they have not able to qualify for even for semis

What a censorship. Why all the powers in the hands of one person sitting in the AC chamber.
At the outset there no point in blaming Dhoni.If one had seen the match played against SA one can make up what is our weakness. Gautam Gambhir is out of form.The shot played by Shewag was atrocious.Where was his bat,leg,and head he was doing harikiri. unlucky Kholi and yuraj failed when top of your four batman out cheaply what is left.Yet Raina with Dhoni 152 was good target.Weblame Dhoni for everything if he picks up 3 spinner then we ask why is that if he picks one spinner again he is blamed.Forget it it was loss drop who are not in form give chance to youngsters keep Dhoni as Captain without any comments then you see the results
