He's never been this bad; I've seen him a lot more assured in the IPL and before...though his IPL success may be a consequence of the Haydos effect.
He's been pathetic playing the pull all the time in his career. His shortcomings went largely unnoticed because of the ridiculously short boundaries in the IPL where even a miscue could be a six.

No way! Karthik is Raina minus, and is a hothead to boot, throwing his wicket away with aggressive shots that have no range.
Broad on now.. Needs to be taught a lesson... here.. Dhoni's strategies are perplexing.. why not have a right/left combo? :unsure:

Given the way these guys are batting against the short ball, looks like Broad's 4 overs are going to be key for England today.

Great, what a time for Broad to redeem himself. No Yuvraj. Struggling pensive Jadeja. At best 120 SR Gambhir. Could not ask for more.

I was pleased when I was at Lord's to see that the boundaries were out to the edge, rather than brought in the way they had them when I went to a Middx match.

Has pretty much affected the IPL spoiled Indians. Was heartbreaking to watch one of Raina's off side scoops against WI landing thwack some 20 metres from the rope and the fat lad scrambling for a double, after initially refusing to run believing it would go for a six.

He made several mistakes in this T20 WC...

First - he didnt allow Raina to sattle down as International No.3 in this tourney by sending himself at No.3 - Raina never got the chance to bat ahead of the important stage...

Second - his combinations has not worked properly, today RP was denied his last over and in last game Irfan should have completed his quota of 4 when he was bowling well...

Third - Jadeja ahead of Yuvraj in a very serious game...hope his ploy does well for India though!
