Forgive the Indian batting implosion !



One billion Indians were a disappointed that the Indian batting imploded at 214. The only cheer was a good, sedate 54 from Sehwag.

Ashwin was 25 not out and Yousuf chipped in with 32, with two sixes. Positives are both Sehwag and Pathan, pinch hitters, were very careful.

The Indian supporter is a bit disappointed that India's formidable batting ( may be on paper ) were bowled out within 44 overs !

More than 1.2 billion people expected a 300 plus total, given India's good batting. Gambhir has not played cricket for a while. Also Sehwg, but Sehwag is now in form.

It was bad luck that Dhoni dragged a ball onto his stumps. Gambhir tried to glide a ball and was caught.

Sreeshant impressed with his bowling. He is a lion hearted cricketer and gives everything.

Chawla ran and took the catch to dismiss Shane Watson off the bowling of Sreeshant.
