Its pity how India has played in Champions' Trophy.Indian played dismal against Pakistan. I can't say what they have done against Australia, but rain played spoil spot. Now they have no chance of making even to semifinal. They started their tournament as No 1. why so?

Well friend, in cricket nothing is certain. India played one bad game and this enough for them to knock out of the ICC Champions Trophy. South Africa too lost a game against Sri Lanka due to rain. This is enough to knock them out of the tournament but they atleast got a chance to win the game. India is very unfortunate because of their no result match against Australia. West Indies was very pathetic in this tournament due to their A team playing with no experience. If West Indies would have beaten Australia then the Group A would have been interesting. Anyhow lot of ifs and buts. Indian team is shuffled too much and due to which Indian team is not settling up and Dhoni frequent shuffling of the batting order is also not helping. India need to change the bowling coach and look for new coach in my view. Bowling is not improving at all for India and Harbhajan form too was not good in this torunament, he gave too many runs against Paksitan and even on Australia..

Hey subha12 thanks for your comment. Really it is a pity that though Team India played very well through out the year but they have miserably failed to qualify in the semifinal. In my opinion we can not fully blame our team as due to continuous rain the entire strategy has been changed and Team India's hope to qualify in the semi-final was 50-50 . It was expected that Australia will beat Pakistan as both the team do not want India's survival in the Champion trophy due to their fear psychosis. Let us hope for the best.

yes, the rain definately destroyed the play and the excitement of millions of people in India.It was the only chance for India to go into the semi finals and that too have exhausted.
All the good seemig teams are out,Like India and south Africa which are out of the series.The no.1 and no.2 teams out.and the others are showing their magic.

Hi Subha,
I have stopped to watch this game last year when India could not be in Super eight. Indian cricketers are very talented and they can defeat the No. 1 team in the world. At the same time the weakest team in the world can defeat India. That is the situation with Indian players. They can do the best and do the worst too.

Yes,it is a pity that India crashed out despite being a favourite .I think India missed Sachin , Sehwag and Zaheer Khan as well as Yuvraj Singh in a big way .
