Chokers!!!

Oh man, again we have lost to the aussies... i am talking about the 6th ODI that happened between India and Australia.. West Indies were through to the finals, and it was a do or die game for the other two. from 116/6, the aussies pushed it to 213 (thanks mainly to hadden, who hit 4 straight sixes of the part-timers), which was not that big a total on that small ground...

all that was required from the indians was some sensible batting.. with aussies playing just 3 front-line pace bowlers, indians jus needed to play-off the first 20-overs, keep the wickets in hand and then it would have been a very easy task.. but instead, Lee and clark (who was thrashed for 80 odd runs in 7 overs by the WI) broke the backbone of the Indian team, and left India hoping at 50/4.

raina and dhoni managed to put on some partnerships with mongia, and we we just 50-odd runs away from victory when dhoni threw his wicket away.. then the in-sensible mongia just rotated the strike to the bowlers, and exposing them to the likes off lee and mcgrath.. someone needs on put somthing inside mongia's head on this issue, as he will be in this team for the next series, based on this one-off performance...

all in all only one thing happened.. these Chokers have spoiled the mood of the many Indian fans.

If you notice correctly, Dravid is the key man of our team. More often than not, if he does`nt perform, the team loses.

7 out of 10 times, sachin scores, but the result depends on how good others support him.

We have to remember that kricket is a team game..
