The man capable of scoring centuries is like gold dust. Specialist bowlers will back themselves to be picked in the top 3 who get 12 over allocations. In other words : Even if the format is backdated 10 years - no selections would have been done any differently. Both sides will have batsmen that need to bowl a minimum of 6 legitimate balls.

For once, D...Yesterday was a disaster for the fans. For once, Dhoni looked out of sorts with his tactics and team selection. A lot left to be desired when it came to fielding and negotiating the short-stuff. All said and done, whatever team they put on the field and whatever their batting order, they still should have chased down 154. Of that, there is little doubt.<br /><br />The most important thing next is to see who gets the chop. Generally with India, it is the captain or the coach, or both. Really, neither Dhoni nor Kirsten are in danger of that as India has thrived under this leadership over the last 2 years. So it might be on somebody else - like a Jadeja - which is totally unfair on the youngster. He can't be held responsible for the shortcomings of the superstars - going in early and face the barrage of short pitched stuff.<br /><br />Indians lost because they played very un-Indian like in this tournament - with the fear of failure. Surely that has not happened under Dhoni in the last 2 years. Hopefully, the selectors and the team management realize this and get that sorted out and not go and find a scape goat in a Ishant Sharma or Ravindra Jadeja just to please some quarters in the media. Nor should they go back to the 'seniors'. If that happens, the progress of Indian cricket is halted.<br /><br />The world will argue that IPL is not such a big thing at all. The English have already started this. But everyone knows the truth lies elsewhere. But one thing though, Indians don't wear the tag of 'favourites' well.Goutham Chakravarthi L Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128914760062094118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254643242029955319.post-84851539395115962462009-06-14T08:13:28.747+02:002009-06-14T08:13:28.747+02:00Absolutely !

We have a media that speculates like crazy. One News TV even ran a story saying that Sehwag and Dhoni came to blows as regards to how the other bat and in the process Sehwag injured.<br /><br />Before the World Cup began, I appeared in a news programme with a senior journalist and an ex-India cricketer where we discussed the issue of 'fatigue'... Both were of the opinion that mental fitness was more important than physical fitness... I pointed out the fitness of Tennis players and football players and said there should be a larger pool - up to 40 players to choose from... Otherwise, cricketers will end up playing even with injuries in the fear that they will lose out their places to other people given the talent that is prevalent in India these days. And, also, if you offered rest, there's no stopping them appearing them in other cash rich leagues... <br /><br />As long as analysis is straight forward, Indians have no problem in accepting reasons for defeat, except perhaps when it is against Pakistan! I hope u understand that!Goutham Chakravarthi L Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128914760062094118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254643242029955319.post-26550013393764557352009-06-13T19:41:46.344+02:002009-06-13T19:41:46.344+02:00Spot on - Last 6 overs Dhoni can play the game he ...Spot on - Last 6 overs Dhoni can play the game he knows.

It will serve the team a great deal if he is kept back till the slog therefore he needn't think much about the approach then. He becomes dangerous then.<br /><br />I for one believe India is rattled with all the controversy surrounding Sehwag's injury and speculation that there is a rift in the team. They don't look the World Champions defending the title.<br /><br />They find themselves in the exact same position they found themselves in last World Cup - beat England and South Africa in successive games to make it to the semis. The difference is, they are expected to do that this time as World Champions. It looks unlikely though.Goutham Chakravarthi L Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128914760062094118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254643242029955319.post-28487475900123271322009-06-11T14:19:33.080+02:002009-06-11T14:19:33.080+02:00As per the seedings, the tournament expects India ...As per the seedings, the tournament expects India and Pakistan to meet in the finals which is a joke as Pakistan is not at all the second favourites.... enough said abt the format.<br /><br />According to the format, there is a good chance that one of SA or India or both could be sent home before the semis and on the other side, Sri Lanka and New Zealand are almost through to the semis before a ball is bowled...

If they make it to the semis, it's difficult to write them-off, just like it is difficult to pick them as overwhelming favourites.
