Another terrible performance by Team India..a pattern of batting that has been plaguing them for 18 months now where the team just lost the plot completely. It was one thing to see people like Tendulkar and Dhoni get out for ducks..but then to see even the tail show zero application [surely Agarkar and Zaheer Khan w some more responsibility could have stayed there to get 25-40 more runs to make this a game].. a lousy mixup of a run out..Certainly can't blame the bowlers for this one. 250 should have been gettable and given what a batting beauty it was its just shame on the batsmen.
In any case, it was sad to see the look on Dravid/Tendulkars faces. I'm sure plenty of stones will get thrown their way but one certainly doesn't get the sense that they don't care or aren't working their rear ends off. Don't really understand what is missing in this lineup but clearly something is because despite being such a *powerful* lineup on paper..for 18 months now we have consistently faltered on the batting side.
In any case, will try and root for Bermuda on Sunday..though its clear that India doesn't deserve to move on. What the heck..can always dream :-)
Probably the last post from me on this world cup barring a miracle!

This is a real disaster, very very shameful and we proved well that we don't deserve to be in best 8.The wicket was flat and ideal for batting though our bowlers got some seam movement intially. They really didn't apply themselves and haven't cared much.
Utappa's was a good return catch, it was fair not to blame him.
Shewag ended up playing a lazy shot inspite knowing murali was bowling round the wicket, with a slip and forward short leg on.
Ganguly- Very irresponsible shot that made me think it wasn't an important match for him. Had no reason to go over the top in a crucial match where wickets matter.
Tendulkar- How can he talk of playing in 2011 when he can't cope with pace of Fernando.
Yuvi - Was unfortunate and its absolutely Dravid's mistake. It might had been different if he stayed.
Dhoni- So stupid playing on backfoot. A tailender could have expected and read that doosara - dumb A**
Dravid - Helpless tried what he can and big shots are not his strength.
Tail - didn't even put up a fight, atleast could have tried supporting Dravid.
Very disappointed but will go on !!
