India has been boasting of a strong batting line all time. But still you need to have a balance of all the key departments like the bowling and fielding. In batting too the finishing was not satisfactory as the wickets fell in heep after good start. Which may very well reason for a tie. Bowling is looking out of sorts and fieldin gi s like they are doing it as an obligation for the game. Is this the way a Champion team be like? Can India be victorious this way?

It is quiet often we see in cricket that when 2 batsman gets settled, it becomes very difficult to get them out. It happens with any team. What happened yesterday was exactly that. You can't term Indian balling attack that bad because of that. It was extraordinary batting from two Englishman that turned the table but once they were dislodged the mighty English batting line up collapsed with just a rear guard action from Swann and Bresnan. Although some improvement in balling is necessary, It is my belief that India can still win the world cup with present balling line up.

Wow dear msdivkar! I must appreciate your positive approach and thinking about the 'lame' Indian team, who have exhibited their weakness to the whole World, at their home ground! May the Almighty bless our Indian team and save the fans like us from the pains we have when the team performs below the expectations! Thanks !

In spite of that our tail enders got shattered and collapsed like Castles made of cards...how disgraceful that we couldn't even play complete 50 overs with such a so called strong batting line!

The answer is not it is not convincing enough to be a champ. Having said this, this is a world cup of equals with 4-5 teams being pretty equal. So any of these teams can win the match on any given day. So it would all depend on how a team plays on that particular day. Cheers! Ram

Hi there, Exactly. The main agency to spread that India has a very very good batting line up/ At least at Bangaluru which the players appreciate there India fell flat. That India has a good bowler is a good bowler too. Now situation is such that neither fielding or bowing is not world stander. The T20 world cup Indian captain declare that India would bring the cup in their possession. The way India is handling they have to work harder to reach the final or win each game.

not at all. Indian bowling is below power to become champions. only batting doesnt give the win. the only thing we can think and have relief is that, we tied the match against a good team, England, who are in their peak form.

India always depend on his batting to win a match the score of 338 was a very good score to defend and could have been done easily if our blowing was good at the beginning even the commentators where say that at the end that Indian team came think that they would win his match easily and not bowled well at the beginning overs hope they learn a lesson this match which could have be won easily our teams just let it go the other way

The key factor for India is its batting line up and all rounders who can spin the bowl well. This was the main criteria for Indian team to score huge numbers during its bat. The successive failures India is facing was its fielding. It should inculcate itself to be the best part in the game as well on the ground. Next the pacers are repeatedly failing to control the score and this was managed easily by harbhajan and yousuf. But i think seemers should be very alert upon their failure towards this.
