Aus had studied each of our guys and had plans for each batsman and played with a purpose. Hence they won. We lost the way in the middle while they batted. Had we contained them around 275 to 290, the game would have been different. The day was not ours. Well played India.
A lot depended on Virat Kohli to stay and engage in long partnership with another batsman after a reasonably good start provided by Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.Rahane ,Raina, Jadeja again failed miserably to stand tall amongst the ruins.Only MSD batted like a captain of the ship till the last.India needs Dhoni for some more years till Virat matures to lead Team India.Well done MSD you made us proud.

His shot effort was clearly unpracticed! Auz studied video takes of each player! ANYWAY IT WAS A GOOD ATTEMPT!
This team was packed by Dhoni chamchas, none of them big match players. All big match players like Yuvi, Gambhir, Sehwag, Harbhajan were systematically removed by Dhoni and by the time WC came, these players were all gone. The result is exactly what was supposed to happen.
Everyone is prainsing the great Indian show in the world cup. All the pundits are going gaga over 7 wins in a row! Wins against whom? The only worthy competitor was SA, rest were all worhtless teams including Pakistan and West Indies!! Look at how India has fared in the entire campaign... Lost shamelessly to Australia and England before the WC and again lost without any fight to Australia in Semis... These guys, especially Dhoni, do not deserve any sympathy.

dhoni didnt cm to bat whn team ws 90/3 and target was 329. if target wr 250 and team had a score of 150/3 dh0ni wud hv definitely cm to bat bcz victory was possible. dhoni promotes himself whn team is in gud condition, others set the platform but dh0ni runs away frm responsibility whn team struggles :)
south african players was crying, because they lost world cup. N in india ,indian people r crying for lost world cup none cricketers because they felt this is a game..salute to all cricketers.
these Indian cricketers can only play serious and professional cricket in IPL tournament. .the batsmen were a let down. there was no fight from India. they were no where close to the target.
Re: lack of Professionalism

Have you never lost a game in your life ?? The team was super & professional when they won 7 matches and now suddennly team is unprofessional & useless !!!
India played defensive from the start not an aggressive one & the batting was totally amateurish. Aus played as World Class & India as Cattle Class. The after match post media briefing showed Dhoni as Arrogant & in poor light. The billion people dream was crashed in such ruthless way & he was not at all apologetic. The SA played their SF with 100% & it was totally visible not like Indian Team.
