I agree with newton abt the trio. They need to step back and move on with their life. Now the youngsters have fired up very well.
IMO, 20-20 is more powerful than the ODI. If they can do well in 20-20, they can do much better in ODI. Yusuf Pahtan, Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, etc need to be in the team now along with Yuvraj and Gambhir. If the trio move on, then these 5 will shine, along with Dhoni.

All these players played with much calm & collective mind. Watch them field ... and you'll see pumped up faces & all f&$* ... They enjoyed the tournament.
Don't forget effect of Young & Quick legs. They ran good between wickets and two run outs comes straight in mind - Justin Kemp (by R Sharma) & Imran Nazir (by Uthappa). Unfortunately on arrival of those3 - these two will have to Go. They showed that even small targets can be defended with some excellent fielding (& not with "smart" fielding).
After the fall - it was heartening to see Irfan & Bhajji come back this strong. These two along with Rohit Sharma were find.

A special award should go to Joginder Sharma also for having the heart to bowl the last over of the Australia and Pakistan match, especially after a seasoned bowler like Harbhajan chickened out. IMO Dhoni should have asked yusuf pathan to bowl after Harbhajan first over......because he was not bowling to take wickets.
