?JAVAGAL SRINATH: India didn’t win a single match against Australia

While Ashwin’s fine skills are undebatable, the jury has to be still out as far the Indian batting on the day is concerned. It's rather difficult so say whether it was plain ordinary batting on view or if the poor showing with the bat was caused by high class bowling from the Australians.

Up against it for the major part of the chase, the only hope for India was Dhoni’s presence in the centre. But in the end, the curtains came down too early as far as the Indians were concerned.

The semi-final started with two of the best teams in the tournament competing in the semi-finals, ultimately it was a great team that marched forward.
