Indians Kneel down before raw pace yet again and go down to Aussies
The old ghost came to haunt India yet again as they lost to Australia in their first super eight match rather tamely.Indians lost by 49 runs against Australia as they scored only 138 runs all out and that too in 17.5 overs in reply to a strong 184/5 by Australia.India would have been chasing around 220 as Australia was 145 in 15 overs but they held back Australia for 39 runs in the last 5 overs.
It raised hopes of a fightback but it stopped the time the openers came to bat as Nannes and Tait was sending down thunderbolts to the other end of the pitch and all Indian batsmen were clueless.India lost 5 wickets within 40 runs and it all remained formality but for a face saving innings of unbeaten 79.Warner(72) and Watson(54) shined for Australia with the bat and Nannes(3/25) and Tait(3/21) shined with the ball.
India does not look like a team that belong to this group and that too in this pitch in Barbados as they have a military medium attack with the ball and a feeble everlost batsmen and it requires a miracle to even get past WestIndies on Sunday.
