What a close match, great bowling from Darren and Andrew...For a sec I thought Pakistan would win this but Australians showing that they can come back no matter the conditions are

They have just won because of the umpires who mades two big presents for the Aussies...

Youhana and Inizis bat didnt touch the ball....

And Australia won because of the stupid two run outs..

Means:

2 present from us + 2 presents form the umpires = 4 wickets = win for the Aussies...

And if you just look at the wickets of Inzi and Youhana (if you forget the run outs) you would certain think about a win of Pakistan today...
It was a great chance today, but the Pakistani Team was unlucky..

That has to be the most blinkered and inaccurate post I've ever seen.

Hmm

I thought Vande Mataram was just being sarcastic and was teasing the Pak loss to Australia.

Surely he can't be serious in his reply

Even if he was, he fails to remember that, despite Pakistan's defeat in the final, they happened to do rather better than India did in the tournament as a whole.

very even effort, but i think that the aussies experience im pressure situations got them home. some great signs for the pak team though. pakistan were quite unlucky but i still believe aussie were the better team. hogg bowled quiter poorly unfortunately... i was hoping hed do well.

They do or did they?..not sure what u meant, but either ways, India didn't play at all (forget abt potentail) and it was only a 1-time-wihtout-sachin-33over-game.

Well, sachin doeant make a diff in the game? ( :p ) but these games were 1-off,..and we';ll see in ICC

It was a reply which seethed with contempt because there seemed to be racist undertones to both the original message and the reply.

My interjection was purely intended as 'well, they did better than your lot'.

We are cornered with all kind of cultural knots, that every statment seethes towards a new dimension

In all honesty, no statement of mine was a raccist or a altered tone in any manner

I think Pakistan should get the merit of beating India... The Aussies just won because of the old Sheperd.
Its time to go for him..

When someone involved with football questions the decisions of a referee, even mild criticism in the heat of the moment, there follows swift retribution in the form of a hefty slap in the bank balance, commonly known as the charge of 'Bringing the game into disrepute'.

What Wasim Bari has done with respect to his criticism is far stronger than any criticism of an umpire I've heard since the days of Shakoor Rana - tantamount to calling Shepherd a cheat.

The systematic criticism is just a repeat of what was aimed at Steve Bucknor a few months ago. It's cowardly and frankly more than a little pathetic - now where did I put those sour grapes?

u can say that coz u dint have ur team playing on the recieving end. has nothing to with cowardness, those were 2 misreble decisions n if an international umpire [suppsoedly 2nd best in the world] cant make those decisions then he shd go. in any case he is past his retirent age, n shd go back home n enjoy is retirement life

Like you, I can say what the Dickens I want, but in the end I will always accept the decision of the officials.

I have seen so many decisions in the past go both for and against my team, but it is all part of the game. I certainly have criticised umpires, but it's one thing for a fan to moan and quite another for an international coach to do so.

As for whether the players were out or not (as opposed to whether the decisions were correct or not), I have just one thing to say:

look in the papers
