selfless dhoni never plays for personal runs like others. always makes 10-20 SELFLESS runs which are more helpful for team than others SELFISH CENTURIES...heheheh
preparing pitches to suit our spinners and winning in India against south africa and others won't help in improving the cricket game. Be prepared , learn bowling on different pitches, only then you can win abroad. what happened to ASWIN " SKILLS , JADEJA'S ABILITIES ON AUSTRALIAN GROUNDS. Be practical and accept that you all are heroes in our indian grounds. tigers here and cats there. duvvuri prabhakar
Well this should have been wone by India if umpire Ketleborough was not too lenient to Maxwell. Maxwell was out caught behind with Australia a good 50 runs away> And with 7 wickets down at that moment Aussies lower order would have found it difficult to handle Jadeja. However like the first match where Kettleborough reprieved George Bailey who went on to score a century then here too he reprieved Maxwell. Resulting in loss. ICC need to find answers to this.

Vasant Tondale: Nice. Keep finding excuses. :-) Rohit was out in last match but not given. Did Australia lose?
The India ODI side is looking like a set of compulsive losers and displaying awful pace bowling and fielding. The bare minimum they have to now come up with is to win the next two ODIs, failing which we hope the players themselves request BCCI to pay them only half their fees for the year.

Match Fees should also not be given if India lose to any team - They are already taking Travel fees International Accommodation 5 Star Food and enjoying the tour with their Wives, Girlfriends, Keeps & kids abroad.
Winning and losing are part of the game. But what is irritating is the lack of fighting spirit. Even an experienced bowler like Ishant Sharma was erratic and wayward. How can a team win when the bowling is so pathetic. Most of the pace bowlers were pitching the ball so short that with their sort of pace (at 130 kmp), their bounce was hardly troubling the Aussie batsmen.
