Chokers deliver repeat serving again !!

A target of 214 with 7 batsmen should have been easy against any attack but as usual, India contrived to continue with their 'ULTIMATE CHOKERS' tag. Aussies had just 1 real wicket taking quality bowler Lee but somehow Indian batsmen after batsmen (and that includes Rahul Dravid) decided to mess up rather than put up a fight.
I had been asking for Dinesh Mongia for a long time and he proved to be valuable with a decent spell as well as ended up as top scorer. SRT's scores against Aussies in big matches have been disappointing for a long time and that is the reason, I am still unable to accept him as the greatest, as touted time and again by the pundits. As far as the rest of the pack, they are a woeful, awful bunch, who can not kunckle down and deliver when it counts most.
The bowlers performed incredibly well with Bhajji delvering a stand out spell but the repeat acct of the chokers killed the day for the Indians. Dravid and Greg need to re-examine it all, if they want redemption in Champions trophy.
