I sure did, I like the West Indies there a decent team to watch, plus I'm bored of Indian fans continous celebration since 2007 whilst England have gradually declined in general.
Good game. India were in huge trouble once they were 81 odd off 14 overs. Even with Yuvraj's brilliance they were never going to have enough runs to be secure.
Bravo was very good though - couldn't work out what Gayle was doing. He was pacing it like it was a 50 over chase but never got going and then got out with an S/R of less than 100. I haven't seen much of India but from what I have seen they'll have too much for us on Sunday.
Great work Windies - first the 50-over World Champions then the 20-over champions (just can't beat England!).

India's fielding was very poor today. They probably came up shaky against a top in-form side like WI. It was a defendable total more so after we got Gayle but we just fluffed it up in the field. We thought the WI would give easy runs on the field, but it was the reverse case.
Dhoni had a bad game today. But give the guy a break! He has been a brilliant captain for India (YES, he has been one of India's most successful captains and is competing with ganguly for top honours). He is bound to have bad games. He will come out of it. Although it doesnt help him that he has these run-ins with the media who will now always bay for his blood everytime he fails.
I would have favored India had England got a close game vs South Africa. But they too got a beating. So the next game will be absolutely crucial. But India should know that they still made it to the semifinals of the last World Cup inspite of losing to New Zealand in the first Super Eights match. And again, the last two games that were played were against England and South Africa (and AGAIN, IN THE SAME ORDER!). Hopefully, we do an encore here.

Why? Because they dont want a good team to continue doing good. Now I know how Australian fans feel when other team fans bay for Australia's blood even when they are good.

Well, we shouldn't lose heart. We dropped one game against New Zealand in the Super 8 stages last time and then thumped England and South Africa to storm into the semis. Lightning can strike twice. 
Also another thing going in our favour is that England's current run rate is extremely low, so if it comes down to NRR they'll have a tougher time recovering than we would, theoretically. I wish the Proteas had beaten them quicker, though!

Is that a reason? Ufff.... Jealousy at its best!

The 6 of the last ball against Zaheer didn't help. Would've been better for India if they had got it in singles.
