India can still reach in super 8....!

Reasons for that..
Every one know what Indian team is capable of and it was certainly a bad performance against B'desh but the reasons some people has given on this forum is not exactly right..
Sehwag's dismissal-- No Rahul's bad captaincy-- No Sachin's dismissal--- No Ganguly's slow batting--- No Pathan's and Karthik's omission from final 11-- No
I think even this team(which played) was capable of beating B'desh 49 times out of 50 but it was the "FEAR OF DEFEAT" which let them down....This "FEAR OF DEFEAT" factor put them under loads of pressure, and of course the big stage also helped in building pressure.. If you are in "FEAR OF DEFEAT" YOU CAN NEVER GIVE YOUR 100% and in this match even a child could say who play "Gully cricket" in your streets that Indian players were under pressure from ball one (thats the reason behind Dada's slow batting) otherwise I can bet my life that the same Dada can score 130 runs out of 129 balls 9 out of 10 innings against the same B'desh side. Still it is not too late, if Indian team put that "Fear" aside and play to his actual potential they can still reach in super 8 (and may be win the cup)!
