It's been two days since India lost to South Africa, but it is still hurting. The nation is anguished at nine wickets falling like nine-pins in the India innings and fans are angrily questioning the decision to give Ashish Nehra the last over to bowl. Here are the top 10 surfer comments after the match. Most came in as feedback on NDTV.com. Some were irresistible tweets:
Kilo kilo run denge phir mood aayega to ek wicket lenge faydaa kya?
I request ICC to conduct a Mini world cup for India with nations like only Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands, Kenya. So that India can beat these teams and call themselves Mini world cup champs :)
From the start i have been telling Indians are only able to win against kacha limboo teams like Netherlands, Ireland, Bangladesh, Kenya. That's it. They were never the world cup favourites. Australia or some other deserving team will win it this time too.
India lack the killer instinct to play well. The killer instinct which the lion/tiger shows while running and killing his prey after giving that one deadly blow of the king on the neck of his prey. Indians are as good as rabbits hopping and playing merrily in the bushes. Not fit to survive in the jungle with the rough and tough ones :) - Abhishek
Blame , accuse , blame , accuse , blame , accuse, blame, accuse. His fault. Her fault, everybody's fault, the weather caused it, the stadium is too big, the flies were not from Delhi, the water tasted odd, Tees Mar Khan was a flop and as a result we lost, I am not married to Sonali Bendre and my girlfriend is not Deepika ...I mean the list of excuses is endless. The truth is we collapsed, the batsmen need to keep their heads and do their jobs but the mere fact is we do not have a strong bowling line up, at worst we are mediocre compared to other countries and suffering from a confidence problem. Our fielding albeit so much better is brilliant compared to before but we need to be fitter stronger faster. Lets try harder in the next Game, Confidence! - Roy
Dhoni dhool Gaya! - Veerat
Nehra and Munaf are the Senior Citizens of Indian Cricket, they can't bowl, can't field, can't bat, can't throw, can't bend and can't run. I fail to understand why Dhoni gives them chance after chance. - Rajesh Kurup
In the last over of South African batting, when Dhoni gave the ball to Nehra to bowl, I told my daughter that India will lose the match, I was right and they did lose the match. What a stupid decision was it, he should have opted for Yuvi who is a very mean and intelligent bowler, now Dhoni goes to defend this decision. With this attitude as Dean Jones said 'India Will not win the World Cup' I totally agree with Dean Jones. - Muraliu
Dhoni has to stop commenting others. He should learn from other team captains who played for their country to glorious victory. Learn from the previous matches, why can't you make Harbhajan to bowl the 49 over and Zaheer at 50 over. Give a chance to Raina and Ashwin for next match, We don't have any reason for keeping them in the squad. Rather than blaming others, everyone is responsible for loss. Take in a sportive way and try to win the world cup. If we loose the world cup with this good team its a worst shame for us. - Kattuva
Do we deserve to win? We cannot bat( 9 wickets for less than 30 runs), cannot bowl(Nehra) and cannot field( catch Dropped).
We also cannot captain. Why Bhajji was not given the last over.
From our position in batting any decent team could have got 340+.
Our players take things easy once we get a start and don't apply.
Even though my heart says, India should win and we may also win the cup, Do we deserve?
Poor Sachin, his dreams looks like getting shattered

This match was a case of 'So Nehra yet so far'
I bet Piyush Chawla is laughing at Nehra right now
- Rakesh Jhunjhunwala on Twitter
An anagram of Nehra is 'Harne'. Quite apt.
- Partha Pratim on Twitter
It is sad that we in India do not support our own people. We have to stand by them when they are down rather be after them. We just lost one match in the world cup. The need of the hour is to stand by them rather than be after them. Todays papers/media reaction is shocking why is the media trying to create a frenzy? I simply dont understand. Selling their papers/trps for what they think is public opinion? Sad but true.
