Harbhajan blames it on the batting

Stressing that there was lot of room for improvement in batting, he said the team needed to ensure big partnerships at the top of the order. 8220;After Sehwag got out early in most matches, our batting was never consistent and for getting a high score, we must have a solid foundation,8221; Harbhajan said.

Even though the batsmen did not pull their weight, the off-spinner said the bowlers made it tough for the opposition to score, referring to the game against the West Indies.

Even in the defeat against Australia, which sealed India8217;s fate, the team fell short by 30 runs, he said, claiming the additional runs could have allowed bowlers to change the course .
