Asia Cup 2008

LOL Yuvraj... can't afford to play like this on a FINAL.

please tell me what Indian news says after the match, I'd really love to know.

 

[playkid12]

I still hope for a Dhoni special that'll rock the game away, but it's completely unrealistic and wont happen.

Anyway, this team needs Zaheer and Sachin. Replace Rohit Sharma and Uthappa with those two, and you'll have a much more balanced and better side.

 

[Leggie]

They won't praise Mendis. They'll just go on about how India's batting failed.

 

[playkid12]

Okay, nevermind. Dhoni is also out... All over for India

 

[Leggie]

C'mon Ishant and Ojha. Bat us to victory!

 

[Dare]

you have to love Vaas, old man still has it. great ball and a even better catch by Sanga.

 

[Leggie]

Yeah, It was a brilliant reaction catch by Sangakarra...

People will blame Dhoni but it really wasn't his fault. He could never really get his eye in because his role was constantly changing with all those wickets falling. He played a brave knock but nobody was there to support him. People will also be calling for radical changes in the squad. Let's not forget that it was the same team that got us to the final. There are only 2 changes that need to be made. Uthappa and Pathan need to be dropped for Sachin and Zaheer respectively. Dhoni should alternate between RP Singh & Praveen Kumar and Piyush Chawla & Pragyan Ojha.

It's okay guys. At least we got to the finals. Second place isn't bad. There's always next time.

ah we need 2 seniors in the squad that is stupid cuz too many youngsters failed against top spin bowlers

 

[Leggie]

Ishant and Pragyan are batting like Gods. We still have a chance in this

 

[khalek]

Brilliant performance by mendis... he is the best spinner alive..

The only thing I'd blame Dhoni for is letting Raina go ahead of him in the lineup. Dhoni needs to go in earlier when India are in trouble, and Raina needs to go in earlier if India aren't.

I'm so tired of second place every single time. I disagree on dropping Pathan. He's had one bad tournament...he's normally very good. I think Rohit Sharma should be dropped instead for Zaheer. Replace Uthappa and R.Sharma with Sachin and Zaheer. But Sachin and Zaheer are ALWAYS injured. It's so annoying.

I had a feeling this would happen. We just can't win finals. Our players were pathetic in this final. And our bowling has sucked all tournament. But then again, the pitches were horrible for bowling.

Pathan was awful this series, He needs to be dropped from the squad. Uthappa hasn't really had a chance to perform except in the final , But still has beent too consistent over the lasy year or so. Sachin and Zaheer should strentghen this side considerably. We can't rely on young players to perform all the time, we need exprience as proved today.

 

[m_vaughan]

Lack of experience has cost India today. But then they would have learnt from this experience. Cant blame Dhoni for anything. The batting failed as a whole.

 

[Leggie]

Batting has been fairly good this series, but bowling has been abysmal at times, But it vica versa today in the final . We need to sort this out.

Leggie added 4 Minutes and 9 Seconds later...

Damn Ishant out. We were batting so well

Well played Sri Lanka
