Yuvraj's wickets in the knockout stages - Haddin, Clarke, Shafiq, Younis Khan, Sanga, Samaraweera. Some good players of spin in there, and some very threatening partnerships broken. I still have no ****ing clue how he did it. :laugh:

Variation in angle and trajectory as well. He used the crease and some of his deliveries came around a lot higher than others.

He bowls in a very similar way to Jayasuriya; on the right pitch he's a proper frontline bowler in ODIs. Not great to watch but he gets it done.

lol.. was about to post it.. juz now shared that on my FB... such a superstitious guy..lol.



On another note, juz read through the entire thread and jeez, some people's hatred for Team India winning just could not be more obvious.. I posted what I did after our win in the complete belief that it would be obnoxious and over the top, but looking at the posts by folks here, I would say it was perfectly warranted. :ph34r:

Not taking any credit for this as I saw it posted elsewhere but here's an interesting coincidence:

India defeated their last four opponents on their road to WC glory in the same chronological order as their opponents had won World Cups.

Last League Match: West Indies (Won WC 1975, 1979)
QF: Australia (1987, 1999, 2003 & 2007)
SF: Pakistan (1992)
F: Sri Lanka (1996)

That World Cup is a triumph of Indian cricket. Whilst it's a ODI trophy, it's linked to India's achievements over the last decade IMO. All the way back to 2001 vs. Aust and 2002 vs. Eng, which started the slow rise.

post-2007 WC was the rise of course, but what the fab 4 with the bat and Kumble with the ball have done for India's winning mentality years before that shouldn't be underestimated.

Got to love Dhoni though... Didn't forget any of these guys.... Gave Credit to Ganguly, Kumble and Dravid for their contribution to Indian cricket.

That is an awesome site.. Kumble holding the cup and Sachin with so much Joy.

kumble in a tv programe had said about it ..he said sachin called him to come to the dressing room and handed over to him personally..you can see the joy in their faces..

kumble said it was very proud moment for him... ven thoguh he was not part of the team

Sourav even though he was in the stadium had lot of tv commitments as he was doing experts job in couple of news channel so that's why he didn't join them i think
