Semifinals and Final

[manee]

Yuvraj was looking in imperious form. My opinion has really changed about Sreesanth. He won't shut up. If I could choose anyone to go for 36 runs in an over, it would be him.

No, you are wrong there. Although his mouth is probably bleeding from all the biting of his lip that Sreesanth did, I did not see him utter a word (a few screams though).

Yes he did. He kept yapping at Hayden and I'm sure a few others.

You're Indian. It makes perfect sense.

To be Indian, live in India and support Australia makes no sense.

Well, some one to agree with me. Give some support to your team when they are playing well.

and youre telling me brett lee was as quiet as ever to gautam gambhir in that match, besides a bowler has a right to do that when he is on top of the batsmen, at that time with hayden even hayden would admit he was getting done by some jaffers.....

One jaffer. The others he was trying to slog.

because sreesanth bowled them in the right place...so he couldnt connect

 

[Will_NA]

They were length balls, if he tried to hit straight, he would have had a better chance to connect.

I dont think you are in a position to tell Hayden where to hit length (or any kind) of delivery (its back)

....or he could have edged them behind.

Omg! I slept past my alarm and missed it!

But we lost, so it's not all bad.

Didn't ya hear? I coached him

You have more chance of middling the ball if you show the full face

 

[Norbert]

well, I couldn't have been more wrong... I am probably in the minority when I say, that out of all the possible matchups for a final, India/Pakistan bores me. An uninspired batting performance from New Zealand, at least from what I saw in highlights...I was much more shocked by the India win, though...although I would pick Pakistan to win the final...

I've never like Sreesanth but after today he's most if not all the words you can't say on this forum...

That was fantastic.
India batted brilliantly. Yuvraj, Dhoni were superb. Ghambir/Rohit, didn't do a lot, but contributed. Shame about Shewag's thigh, in doubt for the final?

India bowled brilliantly, and awfully. In equal measure, they just such a massive total. I though Sreesanth was excellent, bowled some unplayable deliveries, Joginder was a bit pathetic, but he didn't get hit for six sixes so he played his part in the final over I suppose. Harbahjan bowled alright I though, needs to stop bowling darts though. RP Singh got a bit of unfair tap, but that's the nature of 20/Twenty Cricket.

India deserved it in the end. I felt their fielding was really good in general as, a few sloppy pieces of groundfielding, but there were several balls that could have been diving catches that the players still threw themselves at when they weren't carrying. Shows real commitment to put you face on the line.

I think Dhoni lead well, had a bit of trouble with Sharma getting hit but Sreesanth corrected that by bowling so well. Harbahjan's late over was fantastic also.

Albeit a vastly changed side from the tour of England the players just look a lot happier under Dhoni, I like the way they play their Cricket under him, he leads well imo. Having now seen him do it a lot more, I'm confident he's going to do a real good job for you.

I also particularly liked his interview with Shastri, mentioning Shastri's article on Cricinfo saying he could never lead a side to beating India.

We love his aggression.If you cant take it then its your problem.
