We have to win both the matches if we have to keep the team and sponsors alive.....

After beating the two great teams of all time Indian entered the super eight. Yes you read correctly, i mentioned two great teams because everyone knows how they kicked off two great teams ie India and Pakistan out of the fifty overs world cup.

Indian team entered with a great pride and positive self confidence as most of the countrymen along with the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar who confidently said that Indian team will manage to Defend the Championship, and why not, as all the players had shone well in the IPL, may be an over cricket been played back to back in couple of years.

But all talks and greatness failed as Indians lost against the West indies yesterday. i thought that West indies was the weaker team amongst the two big team England and South Africa which are next to come. With Yesterdays defeat the chances of Indian teams entering the Semis has narrowed as we face South Africa, whose chances of lifting this years cup are high along with England who are like wounded Lion who have just won a single game on their own soil.

There may be hundred of reasons behind Indias defeat, as some may say that Mahis concentration has shifted from cricket towards advertisement, he thinks more about his hair cuts rather than squarecuts, Morning workouts with Bipasha may help building a carrier but not in cricktet may be in Bollywood. Listening to all this things also makes me wonder how the hell they get time out of their busy schedules, as during a match we can see Mahi more in ads rather on wickets. And then we have comomments from Mr.Vengserkar"over Cricket may Kill"

But what i personally think about india's defeat is that they are playing with a Batsman less in the line up after the return of Verendra Shewag, It was all ok untill we had good start from the top three batsmen which cleared the gate for the next three batsmen to swing their bat with less worries but we never thought what if the top three batsmen fail, the tense of which was clearly seen yestraday when Dhoni and Yuvraj were plyaing the patch up the game and were not able to capitalize the part time blowers. Thans to the innings of Yuvi without which 130 on board seemed difficult .But then to 153 werestill difficult to defend as we don't have Malinga and Murli in our side who can take away the game from the opposition. If Indians have to win the next two matches then they have to bring Jadeja in side sacrificing one of their spinners as we do have Suresh Raina in our side who can bowl well and restrict runs as he has the habit of stopping a fraction of second before delivery where he cuts the batsmen,s flow of swing and also can read the batsmens move, i don't understand why he is not used and that's not enough we also Dhoni coming in number three position in the previous matches which was absolutely unnecessary when Raina is playing so well, he should have given Raina to practice and get some runs before the big matches.

Now let's see what happens tomorrow, we have to win both the matches if we have to keep the team and sponsors alive.....
