The crowd were singing his name with great gusto.
Every few minutes someone would start off this easy to follow song.
Yet, when it mattered, the guy turned selfish and didn't fall on his sword for the only hope India had of getting anywhere near the line.
You have a guy smiting sixes all over the show and Jadeja doesn't give his wicket up for him.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.

And India should stop thinking they are a good chasing side. They have hardly ever chased 320+ on good wickets. They are over reliant on their top 3 winning matches for them and chasing 280's and 300's doesn't make one an extraordinarily good chasing side as that is the norm in this day and age.

There was no need to play 2 spinners on that flat featherbed
Ashwin is an average one day bowler and got destroyed yesterday. Jadeja just had a mere and was paks 12th Man.
Pak finally played a modern day brand of cricket and were fearless. Each batter was attacking from the get go and they should have posted close to 360 if it wasn't for excellent death bowling by Bhuvinesh

Batting was fearless and bowling was fearless.
Nowadays batting is fearless, but bowling is always about restricting, but they took wickets.

Just true you got that spot on. The reason why Pak did so well throughout the tournament despite batting fragility was because their bowlers were always looking to take wicket. India on the hand picked an attack that from ball one looked to restrict batting sides. And in cases where opposition didn't fall in the trap of defending they lost.
If India play this same bowling attack they will lose more often than not

It may not have made a difference if Jadeja had given himself up, but it was the right thing to do for the team. And he failed miserably.

it wouldn't have made a difference to the result india had lost too many wickets already but showed where the mind set of some of the indian players was at that point, also dnt think the pitch was as flat as people were making out, just like the england game where we pretty much destroyed their much vaunted batting attack

Yes Viru,
You must look to take wickets. For the fist time in a long time, India seem to have the bowlers to attack, but really need to find the right combination and mindset. I agree that Shami or Yadav should've played.

There is a law, admittedly its backwards, however...and some people do need to learn that one should live by the law of the land. Its a common problem that some folk want to implement there own laws and oppose those which govern the land they live in.
