BANGALORE ODI - BOWLING WEAKNESS EXPOSED. DHONI, YUSUF SHOULD COME EARLY, STAY LONGER

338 is a good score to defend, on any pitch, more so with home ground advantage. However our bowlers failed to restrict the ENG team and India managed a honorable tie, thanks to mess up, by the England middle order. None of our bowlers were effective in the first 40 overs. In the second spell Zaheer bowled splendidly but enough to win the match.  Our bowling weakness was exposed against the English team, which is not so formidable. The Aussies beat them  by 6-1 margin, in the recent ODI series. In big matches and against strong opponents, Dhoni and Yusuf should come early and bat for at least 10-15 overs. These two have the ability to change the complexion of the game by their hard hitting batting abilities. Had we scored another 10-15 runs more, we could have won the match handsomely. At least, in future matches, Dhoni should change his game plan, himself and Yusuf should come early and bat for longer period, than what they did in the last two games.
