He was arrested after dancing on the roof of a pub wearing nothing but an Indian flag and screaming the Indian national anthem.
Hope you've all got enough for bail.

Thats true...but you cant run away frm the fact that india deserved the win today...they were certainly under pressure after a low score in the first innings. At the end of the day, its abt who wins TBF...we all know that...but the fact that pakistan played as well as india means that we MUST congratulate them as well on a tournament well played.
im sure he was watching it at home....so we dont have to worry abt it at all. We are crazy fans who are extremely proud of their team....doesnt mean we're stupid....(lol though....i got told of by my neighbours for shouting and celebrating too loudly after india won!!!)

Neither team deserved to lose.

hey guys, i hope you enjoy my posts, eventhough i might little bit go overboard in supporting india. But my intention is not to offend anyone.
Really took a day off from my ph.d program to follow this stuff and was happy at the end of it.
Thats just the way it is though....the fact that neither team lost means that it was a great game. But, be glad that the winner was not decided on bowl out again.

I hope this 2020 cricket also brought 2 good things to team india
1. Fielding- The fielding of team india was very good, because of young legs in the field and the pressure to prove themselves in international cricket.This could be a blessing in disguise, if the BCCi is wise enough to induct these young players wisely in ODI.
2. Irfan pathan- he is really back. I hope he goes here from strength to strength.
3. Good to see refreshingly a winner other than australia. Australia winning world cup in 1999,2003,2007 without a major fight from their opponents in finals was simply boring.pakistan were really good today.
I hope this win will encourage the other countries to take on australia atleast in LOI.I sincerely hope this might be a start for many more good things to come.
Many points will follow later. Right now it's a moment for a small cake to celebrate the win.

This may sound odd coming from me, but a loss for Australia was the best thing that could've happened for world cricket. Look how excited the cricket world is after an Australian series loss. I can sense that right now, and I'm equally as excited as an Aussie fan to try and prove you all wrong again

Another important point was how crucial the loss of india and pakistan from 2007 world cup in carribean.
Both these teams bring a lot of spirit and energy into the games and are likely the ones to cause upset against strong teams like australia and south africa (even though they could do it much more frequently).
Instead we had all these rubbish games of bangladesh and ireland in carribean which was completely one sided. Even the semifinals and finals were one sided. Oh what a drab and bore.

Yes, it does. For that day, the winning team is the better team because they have outplayed the opposition ... unless you have ridiculous circumstances (biased umpiring or something). India were just barely the better team today, by the thinnest of margins ... because they won. Overall status is determined over a period of time but the better team on a particular day is the team that wins.

Not many people care about Australian loss except probably the Aussie themselves. People are excited because of the cricket played in last couple of days. Indians are excited because their team won the Twenty20 WC.This may sound odd coming from me, but a loss for Australia was the best thing that could've happened for world cricket.

Exactly. Stop trying to imagine up ways to disparage the game.

CONGRATS TO INDIA!!!!
First of all many congratulations to india, i cant understand why alot of people here just cant seem to accept the fact that india played better cricket today and hence won the game....if it wasnt for Misbah-ul-haq pakistan would have been beaten comprehensively, so all credit to india for not only batting according to the situation during their innings but also bowling with excellent line and length (with the exception of Sreeshanth). It was just another tournament and i am really really happy that our team got to the finals.
The biggest positives pakistan can take out from this tour is Tanvir and Misbah and i was very impressed with our bowling combinations specially how we used Gul and Afridi. Openers remain a major problem and thats where we should be concentrating now.

Tell you what, this thread makes hard reading with all the text-speak. Almost ruins what could've been a few good pages of conversation.
Irfan Pathan deserved his MotM award, although Gautum Gambhir and RP Singh would've been in with a fair chance aswell I think. Didn't think Afridi deserved the MotS though, surely Gul would've been a better choice for that?

I think it was a really close call.....it could have gone either way but because afridi made some runs in a couple of matches, thats what gave him the edge.
I think Gul should have got it too, what a gem.
I know the award is for the 'series' but when it is so close, the performance in the final should give him the edge.
