So India lost. In the finals. Again.

This is becoming too common.

At least now people will not be able to blame Ganguly for being a losing captain. It was the much-loved Dravid.

At least now people will not be able to blame Sachin for not winning it for India. For not playing in key matches. It was the much-loved Dravid who did not win it for India. Again!

The saddest part is, this is the core of the WC 2007 team. I don’t know if this team can go to the knock out stage. But first things first - fix the mindset where the team just cannot close out games.

At least the coach can now say that the initial settling down is done and it is time to get down to business with the extremely long, highly packed season. Better get better.
