Humiliation Defeat
by Sougata Chakraverty on Mar 18, 2007 10:21 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Humiliating loss of Team India to Bangladesh is quite dissatisfactory to all supporters of India. This is due to fool decision of Indian Team Captain Rahul Dravid after winning the toss and elected to bat first. But the pitch is wet and bouncy that helped Bangladesh fast bowlers & spinners to pick early quick wickets of Indian top class batsman. Only Ganguly & Yuvraj had been successfully scored 66 & 47 respectively. Rahul Dravid should understand himself that he has mistaken to take batting first, if he take bowling first, then Bangladesh could not capable to score more than aggregate total of 100. Then India can win easily after batting second.



Now there is sudden death of Team India for the remaining two matches coming. Hope that India cannot able to enter into Super Eight Round. Because for the last match against Srilanka will be difficult for them. Team India will have to play better in all categories like fielding, bowling & batting against Srilanka to ensure them entering into Super Eight Round.



Indian top Batsman like Sehwag, Utthapa, Sachin, Dravid, Dhoni has failed in batting against Bangladesh, but there is a time for those batsman to improve their best batting performance against two teams like Bermuda & Srilanka. Let all of Indian Supporters see what it happens for the next two games. If Team India can win it all, there will be lots of certainty & enjoyment to all such supporters. Let all of us pray for Team India that they can enter into Super Eight Round.



All of our best wishes & best of luck to Team India.

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? that the attitude shown by ganguly put a lot more pressure on sachin,utthappa,dravid n others. ganguly just dint seem to accelerate 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
