191 was not easily chaseable on that wicket after looking at the way India batted.the wicket was difficult.
But then we had Rahul Dravid making few blunders:-
1.opening the bowling with Ajit agarkar instead on munaf.
2.Asking Sachin to bowl seam rather then spin.for those who dont know Bangladesh bowled 30 overs of spin...predictable left arm....got 6 wickets.maybe Dravid didnt watch the match when india batted.
3.Munaf and bhajji were putting teh pressure then the smart captain got agarkar back.
4.Sehwag came to bowl when they needed 30 to win.
5.two factors that would haev won the game for india.munaf with new bowl and the spin-bhajji,yuvraj,sachin,sehwag.dravid negated the advantage by using them very poorly.
6.Dravid doesnt look like a confident captain while playing against bangladesh.
THE BOTTOM LINE ...INDIA WONT MAKE IT TO THE SUPER 8....ATLEAST NOT THE WAY DRAVID SHOWED HIS CAPTAINCY SKILLS...IF THEY GET LUCKY THEY ARE NOT GOING ANY FURTHER THEN THE SUPER 8.....
I AM HAPPY FOR DRAVID TO BE THE CAPTAIN AFTER THE WORLD CUP...FOR REST OF HIS LIFE...BUT PLEASE FOR SAKE OF INDIA....GIVE IT TO GANGULY....INDIA NEEDS GANGULY NOW AS A CAPTAIN.

Except yuvraj no other player showed the commitment or application for team what Bangladeshi player exhibited thoroughout the match. it is not only captain even allother players are also responsible for the defeat. If ind did not loose match all players would come forward to take credit. When defeated every body blames others.
It is ganguly who wasted 63 balls to score 66 runs out 129 balls strike rate 51.16. His batting was shaky from beginning to till 44 th over of innings. He was not willing to accelerate the run rate, putting pressuer on other batsman,. His poor running between wkt and unwilling to take quick singles, convert 1 into 2s and 3s , team lost 20-30 runs.Even though he was highest run getter, ganguly A well settled batsman thrown his wkt by playing some silly shot and getting out after wasting sony balls? his innings did not help tem but scored runs for self, ganguly is responsible for team low scoring and defeat.dropping 5 catchess and poor fielding and 2 bowlers ajit agarkar and harbajan went wkt less

rahul dravid is paying a percentage of his earning to this fool i think....or he is from some mental hospital...and i am sure rahul dravid is paying for his expenses over there as well....just to write foolish blogs....you dirty wrotten fool....can u remember the position india was in SA before sourav comes back......or dravid didn't allow you to see those matches??? hahahaha...the players rahul relied upon dooomed him always...like raina,benugopal and now sehwag...how will this fellow continues to be the captain?? when he can't judge the potential of a player?? how many players have come up after sourav quit as captain?? and as far as dropping catahes dravid has dropped 1 too...
