West Indies vs India 26/ 10/ 06
The Indian approach to this match was strangely lacklustre and negative, maybe a function of the Diwali break they had, or the eleven day gap between matches, neither of which is a worthwhile excuse. The partnership between Raina and Dhoni was a strange one. In 11 overs they added 33 runs, which had a debilitating impact on the momentum in the long run, Dhoni’s burst at the end notwithstanding. If they play against Australia in this spirit, they might as well kiss that match, and the tournament, goodbye.
