ODI Series against South Africa

The first match was washed due to rain. This was only a real indication of the bad fate that followed. India's bowlers bowled weel to take the early wickets but simply were not able to control the South African batsmen from scoring runs. The Indian batsmen played like they have never been to any county India. The 201 runs scored in the fifth and final one day match was their highest total of the series and the only score above 200. Rahul Dravid was injured after the second match and Virender Sehwag was handeled the responsiblity of captaining the side. India's only win came in a Twenty-20 match. I would say that India won the match only because the last over was bowled by a spin bowler. This pathetic performance mad way to a uprise in India. The whole nation wanted Greg Chappel out and they demanded the return of former captain Sourav Ganguly. Aswering to this situation , Greg Chappel said that the Members of the Indian Parliment are paid to speak against him. This again led to incidents like MP's making comments on him and people burning his effigies.
