Well, so there is a God after all. The deserved two shall meet in the final. It is Sri Lanka who beat Australia and will set up a repeat in a 3 match final series.
Adios India, and enjoy few more days of shopping.
DS
from Mumbai |
Or they can go Go Karting or Bungee jumping!!
Leo

Whatever. You know, every one in office was wanting Australia to win. I told them straight, I want Sri Lanka to. India doesn't deserve it. Even if they do find themselves in the final through some sort of "luck", I would pray they lose 2-0 to Australia, coz they won't change that "tried-and-tested" "world champions" "once cheered by all" etc music till they know that all that was erstwhile.
DS

Same here Leo! Exactly same situation here.

I mean, I'm as big a fan of the team as any other. Hell, I sat up late to watch the India Pakistan WC match in 50 over SA WC back in 03, when next day, I had my 10th standard board exams. But when I hear the words, "Hey, Aussies fixed the match so that they wouldn't have to face the world champs", I feel like, "WTFH! The ~world champs~ got held to a ~tie game~ chasing 230, they lost pathetically to Aussies chasing ~250 odd~, their ~wc winning skipper~ played at a strike rate of under 30 in those games, and in one ~nothing to lose~ game against Lanka, they won heftily and the past b****ers are forgotten so easily? "

I meant to type " BLU NDE RS". dont know why that is also censored! yeesh.

And I had my 12th board exams during 03 WC!! If any team the Aussie's would have wanted in the finals, it would have been India. They have beaten the Indians to pulp in the last 3 months. We have hardly won anything against them. On the other hand Sri Lanka have defeated them 3 out of 4 games. So if they still wanted them in the finals just because India are WORLD CHAMPIONS then its just the most absurd and funny thing that I have heard!!!

Yesterday , i witnessing this match among the huge crowd which included Doc, nurse , Patients , house keeping etc and bloody everybody wanted Aussie to win. SL won and i was only one who cheered and everybody was puzzled to see me cheer , One person , asked why was i supporting Sl , I replied since they played better , he was not conceived at all . Since i was for the client side he had to hear whatever i say . But match didn't look that interesting , way Watson , Doherty and D hussey got out looked deliberate .
DS
from Mumbai |
Watson received an absolute stunner! Doherty, a number 10, was fooled by a slower ball. While D Hussey had to go for his shot as he had number 11 at the other end and they required 10 to win...
DS

Watching the finals on a relaxing sunday:)
Supporting the Lankans:)
DS

Dead match has come alive by some lusty hitting! Kulasekara 73 off just 46 balls!

Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |
Ha ha , agreed with you DS , yesterday's result shows it . But i'm still with Aussie to win the cup .....
DS

Leo
from Bengaluru |

Dhiraj Shenoy

Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |
For a player of his stature and class he surely deserves a send off match , I agree with this comment from one guy in Cricinfo . Why is he doing , its uncalled for .
DS
from Mumbai |
Nothing special Leo. He has called for a press conference tomorrow.
Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |
Aussie struggling , 230 should be a decent score .
