It seems that Suresh Raina is playing for his selfish reasons to just retain his place in the side. When he came to bat in both the last games it wasn't a time to give dot balls to the bawlers. He was just spending time on the crease to settle down, when he joined in 42nd over!!! Does he feel that his wicket is more important than india's victory ??? He was neither scoring runs nor giving strike to Dhoni who was well set and able to do big hittings, and also was not throwing his wicket for making way for next batsman Pathan in yesterday's game. I think if due to him only india missed 35-40 runs in game against WIndies, and 25 or so runs against aussie. This is really rediculous. I think such selfish players doesn't deserve a place in the indian team...

I fully agree with your views. I strongly feel that Rahul Dravid made some tactical errors, which resulted in the loss of the game. First of all, Dhoni should have been sent ahead of Mohd. Kaif in the batting order and then in place of Raina, Pathan should have been sent to bat. Because of Raina occupying the crease for few overs, India lost some valuable runs. If India would have put another 30 or 40 runs on the board, it would hve been a different situation altogether.

Suresh Raina is not the biggest factor for the two consecutive losses.
Why not Sachin Tendulkar? What were his scores in the three matches? Why not Shewag - 65 runs of 90 balls yesterday? Why not Harbhajan - No wickets for 49 runs yesterday? Why not Irfan Pathan - pathetic bowling in the tournament? Why not Rahul Dravid for no strategy?
Everyone is equally responsible. Let us not search for scape goats. Let us accept the fact that India is not a world class cricket team. And don't waste all your time on cricket. When was the last time that India won a major cricket tournament? Please support other sports as well. Let us strivre to make India a great country in all the other sports and games.

You are right. But what about MH Kaif? As per as yesturday's game is concern MH Kaif was more selfish than any other. He was just playing for him and takes too many balls to score. Being only a selfish batsman he also doesn't deserve a place for Indian Team.

Do not be so critical of your team.They were soundly beaten by six wickets bt the Best team currently playing the game.Even your own champion R.Dravid is quoted as saying"They[australia] were awesome,even if we had scored 270 runs they would have beaten us".Support your team wholly! Do not go looking for scapegoats.
