*Official* - Final - India v Sri Lanka

[Spark]

Kulasekara can't pull out his yorkers

 

[Furball]

Good decision this.

 

[Adamc]

Hmm. The 'give the ball to your worst bowler of the night' tactic not working out for SL.

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

Example 121,199 of why many people dont want to see India win

Tough luck mate, we won! Don't really care either how many people are against India, makes it more funny

Time to hit central, can't wait! Doctor's party!

 

[BoyBrumby]

You have to bowl your best bowler, surely? Dew or no dew.

Murali not not going to bowl his quota.

 

[Spark]

Please for the love of god Tedulkar_200 go away. Please stop ****ting up perfectly good threads with your hubristic bull****.

You're giving Indian fans a bad name.

 

[Uppercut]

Feel bad for Kulasekara. Horrible time to bowl the worst stuff of your career.

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

I emphatically agree beating New Zealand is nothing to brag about, but India collapsed ALL THE TIME in this World Cup. The shocking thing about this match is India haven't relied on Tendulkar, Sehwag and Singh. I mean India choked against England and South Africa.

Sri Lanka always won their matches with their top four making tremendous scores. I mean every match they had a tremendous platform. And actually 270 should have been enough.

I was confident chasing 270. You're right, they did collapse in the group stages. However, at closer inspection, it wasn't a "true collapse." They seemed to think they could go for 6 every ball in the last 10 overs because of the number of class batsmen yet to bat, the application was wrong. It's a strong unit.

Red rover.

Been a captain's knock from MS. Kudos.

Ha, right. Losing 9/29 and subsequently losing the match isn't a 'true collapse'.

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

Number 1 team in the world right now in ODI and Tests, India. Well done on years of hard work and nurturing the talent!

 

[BeeGee]

Congrats India. WC champions!! It's been a long time between drinks.

 

[Vroomfondel]

india's too good on the day for sri lanka i'm afraid. sorry for all the heartbreak boys.

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

It isn't when you look at shots played. They were quite arrogant. Anyway does it really matter? When it came to big matches, India rose where others really did collapse out of the tournament! I couldn't be more delighted!

Yuvraj Singh has been named the player of the tournament

Extremely talented player who'll make millions out of it

T'will be sweet when he's dropped from the test team in a couple of matches tho

Yeah, I get it. It isn't a real collapse because they lost wickets playing reckless and irresponsible shots. Of course.

 

[Jono]

All I can say is this: !

 

[Spark]

Geez, what a way to win a WC.

Well played India, deserved winners.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, fair play. Captain wins it in the grand manner.

Well done India. Been the best team on balance.
