Personally,considering the start we let them have,i thought we did well to stand even a slight chance of winning[obviously not once the Raina and Dhoni partnership was established].We have to remember the inexperience of the bowlers,they are all young, another spinner would have been a lot more handy than all the seamers we played too.
Strangely i still feel kinda happy about our performance :nuts: ,sure we've lost both times but we are playing a damn good Indian side in India and in both games we had our chances to win,its just the killer instinct and bit of luck they need to win is missing at the moment.

Yes we had a chance in the first game to win until the moment our opening batsmen stepped out to bat. |

i was so annoyed!!
we didn't get a great score but was a good score still....and to limit them to 102-5 and not win was bad. WHY CAN'T WE BOWL AT TAILENDERS!!! im going to explode.

well after getting the likes of sehwag, dravid, singh out cheaply you'd expect them to do it for the low order batsmen, and they never do. England change there bowling style when they bowl to low order batsmen, ive seen it. Hoggard one time was bowling bouncers for some reason!!
it happens nearly every game we play in now!!

don't you think that's because the shine has gone off the new ball and it doesn't swing anymore? so if they bowled line and length every ball they'd get battered so they have to mix it up
