With 5 bowlers in the team it was not such a wrong decision to bowl first.But our fielding badly let us down.Still the 281 was attainable if only the batsmen had common sense(especially Dhoni, Powar,Chawla,Zaheer).At least Chawla is inexperienced.
Dravid also could have sent Zaheer as pinch hitter instead of Karthik, or at the fall of Dhoni's wicket.

The following reasons contributed to India's downfall in the match against England yesterday:
1. Wrong decision concerning the toss by fielding 1st rather than batting which is the strongest point of the Indian side
2. Lousy batting by a strong batting line
3. No team management
4. Mediocre bowling and fielding
5. Over confidence among the players

The main reason is the English team they out played the Indians. Playing five bowlers is a luxury that India can't effort especially when Sachin, Yuvraj, and Karthik are not doing well with the bat. The only positive thing on the Indian side was that they benched Agarkar. Someone should tell Dravid that "pahle aap" ( you first ) is a bad thing and the did it twice. Very stinky of Dravid in my opinion.

England played better cricket and won. Dravid lead the side poorly. He has no guts to bat first after winning the toss. Poor fielding is another reason and above all poor match planning.

India lost the 3rd ODI, just because they did not bowl, field
and bat well. It was also a wrong decision to bowl first in
England, given that it only helps during the first hour or so
and in addition they had only 6 batsmen.
Fielding is horrible, bowling was not there and frontline batsman
failed.

Poor bowling and fielding and failure of Sachin, Karthik and Dhoni with the bat.
