Something needs to be done about the order. It's not flexible enough. I mean, if we have 3 wickets down at 30 odd runs, we really shouldn't be sending in more and more inexperienced players. This side looks way too inexperienced. Gambhir, Yuvraj, Sehwag, Tendulkar, and Dhoni are the only people that can win us a match. Sehwag and Tendulkar are out, and Dhoni comes in way too late, so really, it's all dependent on Gambhir and Yuvraj. I'm tired of these new faces being talked about so much and not performing (ie Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma). India really need to stop putting all of their new players on a pedestal after a few good performances. Pathan also needs to do something about his bowling.
Overall though, the bowling isn't bad. Munaf Patel is bowling well, along with Zaheer. It simply cannot be blamed for this loss. However, the fast bowlers are still lacking that killer instinct, and the spinners often bowl just to slow down the runs, rather than pickup wickets. Not aggressive enough, imo.
