Is it too much to expect the Indian team's think tank to please quietly have a word with Suresh Raina that on the fast and bouncy tracks he'd be better advised to pull or hook a short ball of the back foot rather than plonking his front foot forward and essaying those shots?Otherwise a fine fielder and a good runner between the wickets,i think a senior should sit with him and iron out these minor flaws.

Raina is great one day player and he will make his mark. The Indians are hitting well and understand the risk of playing shots in the air. They will find a way to combat the extra bounce and will come on top. But if they choose to go on the defensive they will falter.Attack is the best policy.

the extra bounce is what our boys have to learn to play well. The attitude is right, they don't sit and mope over past defeats. They play attacking cricket and very soon they will deliver victories everywhere.
