Yes, it has cost us dearly but this is not the end of the world.

Its a team sports and everyone takes the blame.

We didnt play that bad. Its just that we wanted to win against india badly.

I'll take this loss whole heartedly, if that means a good knock in the head for the boys. We get over confident and complacent (yes we do) too quickly. Remember last ODI WC 07?
After beating India, we lost pretty badly to SL, Aus and NZ.

Then we somehow put things together to beat SA, but ended up losing to Ireland, and subsequently to England and West Indies.

I rather lose where it matters less in terms of the progression. We should get our acts together and play a do-or-die match against Ireland. Had we won againt India, i'm sure the boys would have walked on the field thinking this is just stroll in the local park.

Let's beat the Irish, and then move to the next stage.
Let's lock in a new destination after the train reaches the first stop.

Just hold on to your blame game for a while.

Post of the year.
