First of all playing under huge pressure given by us means lots of expectations... Really its hard to play under these conditions... Any way..its all gone now...but i would say that its Dravid's mistake in 1 st match against Bangladesh not to take Anil Kumble who had bounce and some spin in his bowling plus he has not read the pitch before the game that initially there will be some movment in the ball..so 2 mistakes in 1st match...
Bermuda its all ok...
Against Sri lanka same no Kumble...also with harbhajan he should have try to build up the patnership as harbhajan played well after..he has given up when all our great batsman given up their hops. So these decisions are very crutial to play the game..

In the first Instance your blaming Dravid for his Captaincy and in the second Match for his batting,what if sourav and Yuvraj would have continued to play sensibly against Bangladesh...rather than getting OUT on those rash shots,they got their eye in,They would have applied themselves as both of them knew that there was not much batting left after them .....i feel that those were the 2 crucial wickets which dampened india's confidence in the WC....if both of them wud have carried on and would played sensibly.....it would have been a diff story......we have gr8 players but we dont have good team ......
