What really made me mad about Haddin was that from the very first ball he was trying to hit the ball out of the park, and he kept on trying that again and again and again, almost braindead batting from him, he could have easily given the strike to Hussey but no he wanted to be the hero by hitting 6's and 4's.
What pisses me even more was that Australia ignored someone like Hogg or Hilfy for him!! The 5th bowling combination went for 50 runs, just can't help but imagine that if the 5th bowler would have been a regular bowler Australia could have restricted India to a much lesser score.

Oh please. You lost to Zimbabwe, then you lost to Pakistan. Surely, you would have been fired up for this match. Why not admit that you were outplayed.
And we came out after both of those losses and played some of the most comprehensive cricket of the tournament. India played better than us tonight sure, but are people seriously going to start taking Twenty20 as a benchmark for where teams sit in world cricket?

No, and no one is suggesting that.

Its frickin' obvious that Australia are the best team in the world. Let India (and Pakistan too) have their day FFS.

This tournament is clearly hit and giggle, but the fact is India were brilliant today, and going "Oh, Australia are just going to come back and whip India 7-0 in the ODIs" is just being bitter.

Stop it. 90% of the people know that Australia > India in Test cricket, the cricket that matters. The other 10% are idiots. But what the hell does that have anything to do with this? You're starting to sound quite bitter to be frank.

Can you please point me to where you quoted me from on that? Where did I say we'd win 7-0? It seems like a terribly innacurate quote to me. But since you quoted me on it I'm sure you can point me in the right direction. I just said it would make us more determined. Which it will.

The next person after this post that uses the bollocks phrase 'hit and giggle' is being hunted down and pummelled repeatedly with a cricket bat to Benny Hill music.

Great win INDIA.Well done aussies. CHAK DE INDIA. You have done a great job and its just one more match remaining.

I think as usual our friend raghav disappeared.Probably very disappointed with new zealand and india today for loosing and winning respectively.

I don't know what to say. I really don't. I am trying to keep it all in this time. I am speechless tbh. Cuz' whatever I say won't be enough to sum up this Indian team's efforts in this tournament and how happy I am atm. It really won't.

And if I let it all out, I will most likely get banned. So much emotion so much anger (at all the critics who kept telling me to shutup with my predictions) and so much happiness. What more could I ask for.

That's why for once, I am not gonna' talk........... I'll let my team do the talking instead.

I also find it extremely ironic that India made the final (and beat the two favourites in Australia and South Africa) whilst resting Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid and Zaheer.

Say what you like about how it may have helped the fielding more, and the enthusiasm etc. But the fact is it showed they weren't taking it too seriously. Now suddenly they're playing their rivals in the final. :ph34r:
