In Mumbai, in first inning we were 147/5, and Dhoni's patient 64 brought some respect to the total, and in second inning he couldn't repeat.
In Delhi ODI, we were again 142/7, then Harbhajan's knock helped to get pass 200.Earlier also in many matches in Pakistan, lower-order (Dhoni/Pathan/Kumble) batted well and saved the game.
There is something seriously wrong with the top-order here, but surprisingly where is the bench strength???


In bowling dept, there is healthy competition , guys like
Nehra

Balaji
Zaheer
VRV Singh
Agarkar
Karthik
Chawla
are fighting for place against Sreesanth/RP Singh/Munaf.

And there are guys who were treated as tourists but never given proper chance to prove their worth
SS Paul
Joginder Sharma
Gagandeep Singh
Amit Bhandhari
Youhanan
Iqbal Siddique etc. (Well, this topic deserves another post on it only :-)

But question remains where is the batting bench-strength????
where are the reserve batsmen??
Venugopal Rao??

or Mongia/Badani who both are in in their late twenties.
Well, name of Mongia/Badani reminds me of many other guys who suffered coz of 'including Captain Ganguly' in team.

List is endless....
Mongia
Badani
Sodhi
J P Yadav
Bangar etc.
