Big wicket!

Our local boy Root wasn't dropping that!

Here's a plan. don't bowl Dernbach until the 37th over - as he's fodder up front!

Yet again, the English spinners outshine their Indian counter part, both in bowling and batting . Brilliant innings by Patel.

  how much worse could it get and would it get!!!

Until the BCCI realise there are other formats of the game other than 20/20, and stop playing their players into the ground a lot worse!

loving cricinfo, Indian Fanboys are going mad. Losing to England in ODI's, as well as tests/t20 is pushing them to the brink lol

But we are not that good in 20/20 either... be it ICC tournaments or champions league...

Worst thing about today was that that attitude seemed to have spread to their umpires - how else can you explain the disgraceful cheat afforded to Raina when Bressie caught him?

Did anyone notice Raina's bat? I looked like a Newbery Tour.

Especially when you look at what happened in the Aus SL game when Hughes could have had his decision reviewed, but walked instead.

True, half your players need a break, which they're not going to get with the IPL just around the corner!

Sick of being an Indian fan when the BCCI is ruining the team :/ We need to get some ex players in there to manage it; Gavaskar, Ganguly, Dravid etc. I'm sure they could do a much better job because they actually know how the game works and how it is as a player.

[joeylough]

22 overs of spin for 96 runs... and 28 overs of pace for 184.

Makes you think why Root only bowled 2 overs. Which went for 5.

How does Dernbach keep getting into the team? Way too expensive on a constant basis

[Manormanic]

Moreover how does that umpire keep being allowed to stand.  Dhoni nicks one behind...and nothing happens! Same guy responsible for Raina's cheat on Friday!

Dernbach needs to get back to county cricket and learn how to bowl normally rather than all these tricks. very few of them actually fool a batsman on a regular basis and they just get pumped to the boundary too often. anything over 6 an over in one dayers (with the exception of huge totals) is unacceptable.
