Well tbh, the run-outs were just terrible cricket. One dubious decision is not that big a deal; we deserve to lose this one.

The Dravid runout was nobody's fault tbh. Half way through the 3rd run, Bhajji and Dravid were about to collide and Bhajji jumped sideways. Dravid turned back at this point and Bhajji turned around and walked off. Thats what the replays show.

esp for those mind less middle overs that allowed Pak batsmen to settle down

The team for the next game SHOULD be

- Tendulkar
- Gambhir
- Dravid
- Raina
- Dhoni
- Kohli / Karthik
- Bhajji [moron]
- Mishra
- Praveen
- Ishant
- Nehra

I would go with 2 pace bowlers, 2 spinners and one batting all rounder. Preferably Nayar. The batting didn't look as fragile as I thought it would tbh. This would have been a close game if not for the run outs.

Would bring in Mishy for Ishant/RP and keep the rest of the side the same considering the Aussie weakness against spin. Yusuf Pathan stays too as he bowls spin.

Some fun facts- since his debut in 1996, India have won 111 matches with Dravid in the side, losing 148. Without Dravid in the side, their record stands at 48 wins, 37 losses. Make of that what you wish.

In the long run we simply have to have a better tail and in particular someone half-decent at 8. I can't think of anyone so any ideas from someone who follows the domestic scene more closely?

Unfortunately thats not true!

Its Harbhajan who called for the 3rd run when they were taking the 2nd one....do check out his gestures in replays!

Dravid ran Gambhir out... - Blow 1
Bhajji ran Dravid out... - Blow 2

Congrats Pakistan for winning this...

I rate Nehra and Ishant >>> RP .... b/w RP and Praveen it depends up on the venue and conditions but Praveen's batting could be useful, if the bowling is a constant .... YP needs a break! And if he plays OZ would probably test him with short stuff

But yeah, you can go with that 11 :)

to tell you the truth this is really weak indian team compared to the one few years ago, all these newbies are talented but they need time to grow and become mature, many of them make easy mistakes despite being talented

Pakistani side today was much more experienced and experience definatly counts
