Do we really have a strong Batting order ?

India's so called strong batting order lost it's first 5 wickets in just 60 runs. What is the use of a strong batting order if the top 5 players failed to contribute. The bowlers had nothing to do much as the target was very less compared to other games. a mere 245 was never difficult for any team, even Bangladesh could have done it easily.
It became crystal clear just a hour after the match started that Srilanka is going to win the match and the series. I just like to say that the Top Order batsmans batted irresponsibly that cost us the match.

Dont worry guys..Indian batting will be much stronger wen Sachin comes bac into da side..Even in his absence, Indians hav put up a decent performance in rest of the series..Something went wrong in da final..dey gotta rectify dat..dey tried to be over-aggressive right frm da word go. Sometimes it happens and more often for india in finals....

You may be right, but the way indians through the wickets is just unacceptable. Gambhir, Kohli, Yuvraj, Dhoni all failed to contribute. Raina showed some determination, but that was never enough. May be the return of Sachin will make an impact, but team India should not always depends on Sachin. The rest of the players need to fire.

India could never hold its nerves if it is going to be a big even like the finals and other things. We are continuously witnessing this debacle by the indian team if it comes a final match and especially when sachin is not playing, things get much worser and we have witnessed one amongst them. Its quite pathetic that all the wickets tumble like this and Raina's sole battle was in vain

yes we have a really great batting oder,with experienced payers and fresh talents.
but unfortunatly india lost 5 wickets for 60 runs, even though we reached 245.
any thing can happen in cricket .

The top order Indian batsmen are really in great form. But pressure of the Final and ofcourse extra bit of swing of the ball at the start of the match caused the devastation. Also Srilankan strike bowlers are in good form undoubtedly. But return of Master blaster to the team for the upcoming series with SouthAfrica will definitely enstrength the spirits of team-mates.
