Sub cont sides have been soft

SL would have had an easier route if they had played SA in the semi, who would have choked and let them through in easier fashion

A Pakistan that got hammered by New Zealand.

Easiest route my ass.

tbf Pakistan should not have gotten hammered by NZ.

Khatmal literally handed the match to the NZs on a platter.

Although Taylor did play a great innings towards the end of NZ innings but it should not have beem

SL has had one of the least difficult routes ever to the finals. Thoughts?

Well people will say things like these. But a team that makes the finals twice in two tournaments isn't there because they got lucky or had it easy. SL earned their place in the finals.

SL have played awesome cricket to make the finals.. see them as the more balanced team than India. But this Indian side has proven itself capable of overcoming some handicaps, so we shall see.

Yeah, this. Been thoroughly impressed post-group stages at the way the Indians have regrouped and stuck to their guns without being at their best. You only have to be good enough.

 

[cnerd123]

lol @ thread. Such a fail.

Never claimed SL aren't a good side or didn't play well etc etc. Just that they've had it relatively easier compared to most teams reaching finals in WCs.
