Sluggish start for India in T20 world cup 2012

India

The first match is with Afghanistan and still they forgot to bat well with non test playing nation and maybe they are playing the first international match that against India in T20. I think Indian player forget to play the game well and should be taught again how to bat. If they can't well with Afghanistan then they won't be playing well in the next match too and that will be with England.

The batting by the Indian batsman looked too lazy. The last over hitting took the score near to 160 but they should have scored more. If afghanistan had taken all the catches then it would have been very low score. At this time India have picked up 6 wickets and they should win comfortably .

HI friend Afghanistan really pays well today and this match is really going to be very interesting in the end . Afghanistan really bowls well and stop india on just 159 runs and now india is in pressure we have to bowl well if we want to win this match because their openers gave them a great start and now india wants to get 2 or 3 wickets to come back in match i think india play well but Afghanistan also play great match so friend it is close match.

I think Indian batters were too cautious for their own good. Yes, the Afghan bowlers bowled well but there were helped by the fact that Gauti & Sehwag are not in best of form & did not put opposition under any pressure. But credit must be given to talented Afghan team which has improved much in recent times. Also, our pacers Zaheer and Pathan seem to be giving too many boundary balls trying to ball short or length balls. They need to do lot better if India is to beat top sides in the competition.

Yeah,india played very poor cricket against afghanistan.If this is their playing style then we need to be worry for them.Against the minnows like afghanistan,india's batting was pretty much ordinary and bowling was simply poor standard.I think afghans will pull a dramatic win if they had some wickets with them at the end overs.India should pull their shocks up,because next match will be a big one,against england.Lets hope for the better.

Afghanistan really played well against India. at a point i really thought they were going to win. Afghanistan has really improved a lot since the last world cup.Imagine the shame the indian players would have to endure if they lost. lol. and from now on India should chase targets as they have no stability in the bowling department and no cinfidence in defending a total. i mean look at the India pakistan warm up match and how they lost.... i wont be surprised if Afghans manage to scare the England players :)
