None of them batted well, excluding Yuvraj, the way Saurav consumed all the balls itself told the story what was to follow as the others comming in too tried that, instead of following their own style of batting, what I feel is that most of them were too defensive and were scared if they will become out. The tension of the World Cup. The worst batting line up in the world is from India as a team, offcourse individually they might be strong. Shewag if he is there should be asked to play his own style of game, but I personally feel he should be out. Lets accept the fact that he was a good player, but lets also accept the fact that he is not in that skill anymore, so we need to take strong decisions and drop him. Offcourse Dravid and others have a soft corner for this guy for his perevious performance, we all know that. BUT WE NEED TO GO AHEAD

Stupid! If Sourav didn't bat that way India could not have crossed 100! Everything Sourav does is wrong! And you say Bengalis play politics!

u idiot bengali!Though Ganguli made 66 but he consumed too many balls for the same.He gave the upper hand too bangaldeshis.Openers job is to hit over the top.Its not the first time india had lost two early wickets but ganguly played as if the bangaldseis bowlers are unplayable.He gave negative attitude to batsmen who follwed him.But I agree it was a collective underperformance by all.But ganguly didnt do any good to team as he failed miserably whenever he danced down the track to hit a six or four.Also he ditched the team in the last stages when he should have continued batting aggressively.He really put alot of pressure on dhoni and all tailenders by getting out at wrong timing.He knew the pitch as he stayed there for 129 balls but didnt hit any fours or sixes in last overs. but bottomline everybody performed badly except yuvraj and munaf patel.
