76/4 in 26.3 overs

29*1
7*2
1*3
5*4
------
6/1 21/2 40/3 72/4

ergo - our "much vaunted" batting lineup can neither work the ball around for the singles and twos, run hard for the threes, hit the ball hard for the fours or string together a partnership.

Happy Days!!

Now, hope and pray our "weak link", the bowling, delivers

I was still pretty confident that we would score 220. But Yuvraj, Ganguly and Dhoni's wickets in a span of 8 deliveries makes that impossible. Like you say, can our weak link bowling attack defend 180? Or are we going to have two big sub continent teams out of this World cup (Pakistan is at 75/6 against Ireland)

Bangladesh's fielding was superb; should serve as a lesson for the Indian team.

And India's bowling is off to a shambolic start as well (wides, fours). Ah, well, perhaps an early end to the World Cup.
