We just don't have the bowling Firepower to defend such totals

[CSK Fan]

we deserve it varun arron bowled some perfect yorkers and short balls in that practise match but he gets dropped we had shami bhuvi and mohit given so many chance despite being ordinary

bhuvi have been much better than many hyped bowlers in this series

[helperononline]

Aaron would've been worse than them all by a fair distance.

Yeah right! Aaron would have been smocked on these wickets. Anyone over that useless Mohit though.

varun would have performed crap against other teams but against srilanka oldies he would been right they could hardly touch his delivery in that practice game

3.6 Aaron to Dilshan, no run, too quick! Short on middle and leg, Dilshan tried to pull but got on his glove. This is what pace can do. 5.1 Aaron to Dilshan, no run, quick! Back of a length ball, swings in drastically to fox his pull. Play and a miss Aaron to Dilshan, no run, short and down the leg, Dilshan swivels and failed to get bat onto that one Aaron to Jayawardene, 1 run, top edge and falls in no mans land. Dropped it short again and Jayawardene gets bat onto this, not in control though as it files to fine leg Aaron to NLTC Perera, 1 run, full and straight, in the block hole and gets a thick inside edge as it rolled to on side Aaron to Kulasekara, no run, 142 kmph!! Real quick! Short on off stump and missed his pull Aaron to Kulasekara, 1 run, toe crushing yorker as he digs this one out to on side http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-t20/engine/match/716537.html?bowler=57444;innings=1;view=commentary

So? Bhuvi bowled like that in actual games

bhuvi improved his bowling but still tell me a reason why varun not given a chance after good performance in partice game PS I am not a part of fast bowling FaN club

MTc if you think our opening bowlers have done well than we have set ourselves some pretty low standards......130 looks like 100 when Bhuvan and mohit open the attack. Our spinners choked the opposition mist times but we have some useless opening bowlers.....140-150 bowlers might go for 15 run overs but they pick up wickets which is more important than economy in t20 As I said it's mostly a batting f up but we just don't have a chance with these kind of bowlers

The real reason we lost this match was the curse of SA...You should never show disrespect to the oppositin especially while you are winning,But thats what exactly Dhoni did by wasting one ball in order to give the strike for Kohli.But he that was hugely disrespectful to the SA.One should never do such a thing in cricket.Look at the situation today..Too many deliveries got wasted and Dhoni was yearning for some extra deliveries for that one particular delivery.I know many wouldn't agree with my theory.But i have such firm belief in such matters...

I don't care about such sexist remarks..What Dhoni did was disrespectful to the SA and paid the price...

Our bowling is always ****. Its miraculous how Dhoni is able to get to finals with these trundlers and pie chuckers. Kudos to him.

[vvvslaxman]

If it was Windies India would have had a chance even SA/OZ/England. But SL and INdia are similar teams with similar strengths. They play spin well. We needed our pacers to run through them.

[youngindia]

is this something new? the point is not that even stronger bowling side would have found it tough...but a game of cricket has to be won sometimes by the bowlers from disadvantageous positions...we pretty well knew defending 130 without help from the conditions is too much for the bowlers its good that there is a loss today...otherwise the defensive options pursued by the captain would be hailed as a master stroke... whereas the truth is the stronger bowling sides in the world today are either declined(wi /pak) or a bit unsettled(aus/sa)...it won't be the case when the likes of cummins, pattinson etc bring back Australia to the top...sa too has options in philander,rabada and lange for the future the treatment shown to umesh and aaron is frankly short sighted and disgraceful

You find it laughable just because you are only looikng at the surface and not going deep into it.Its called ''Karma'',think about it. Dhoni wasted one delivery because he has too many to play with,but he was making a mockery of SA as well.Now today,when uv was wasting deliveries,he watched it as a helpless human..Thats how its..each and every delivery looked precious to him which he was carelessly wasted the other day...

[riya]

Absolutely theres always a philosophical angle to every incident in life..but people find it comic,what can i do...:((

India underestimated South Africa else they won't do this - today they wished they hada few extra balls to play.:((
