Their was no contest to start with as Australia is the strongest of two sides.
The formadible batting lineup failed in the entire tournament but for the crunch game.
Looking at the crucial knockout encounter the score of 250 was defendable only with some good aggressive bowling
Sreesanth displayed how the decision of dropping him was entirely wrong. He should have been in the team at first place.
What was disapponiting to see was the way Harbhajan bowled, who should have taken more onus of getting wicket and seeing India through
Munaf Patel is good with his accuracy till the crunch match, but waveward bowling performance in the pressure match shown his disabilities to perform when required What more to add was very atrocious fielding .The reason why Kumbale and VVS been kept out is lack of effectiveness in the field, but looking at Munaf they(Kumbale, VVS)are light years ahead. No body should take granted for their place in the side only on batting or bowling . Fielding is an imporatnt aspect in todays competative cricket
Look at the commitment by Glenn Macgrath at the age of 37. Munaf gave away 61 in 8.4 overs but due to poor fielding he gave away another 15 runs
