Lets brace ourselves for another repeat of England 09. Same mistakes, same players and same team. Some things hardly change. Ravinder Jadeja is awful player, his IPL ban proved it. And he let go of some more chances that came his way. He gave 27 runs off 2 overs totalling 65 runs in 4 overs including 9 sixes. He dropped catches and then he misfielded.
The pitch was supposed to be damp yet there was no trace of fast bowlers in the attack. Zaheer looked pathetic, something a spearhead would be shameful about. He has not got a single wicket in the tournament. The bowling reserves for fast bowling looks pathetic. R Vinay KUmar and yet to come Umesh Yadav. Vinay Kumar does not find trust in Dhoni and Umesh Yadav now turns irrelevant.
Even today Dhoni went in with part timers. Raina, Pathan and Jadeja. Harbhajan was finished off earlier and played off safely. And then it was run feast for Gayle who played magnificent for 97 runs. Fielding was at its worst.
And when it comes to batting lets not talk about the short stuff. Vijay continues to disappoint and he finds place in Zimbabwe tour, thanks to Srikanth. Dinesh Karthik finds his place too. Good going Srikanth. Himself being an opener he forgot the importance of a good opening start. In absence of Sachin and Sehwag, the opening for India looks awful. Sachin does not play T20Is, but Sehwag is being missed.
India's campaign is over. 3/46 in 9 overs. T20s is not India's cup of tea anymore when we boast of IPL a so called world beating sporting league.
If Jadeja, Vijay and Karthik are Indian batting future then GOD save Indian cricket.
