Why some of you making it sound like, this doesn't matter at all? I mean it's not a big deal. But it still matters, just a little.
There is nothing in it for the bowler, why should do that?
The rule is the one to blame here. If the no-ball is added to Sehwag's number of balls faced, he should be given the runs that he scores off it (even if it means India end up 5-6 runs ahead of Sri Lanka). Its a bad rule where the no-ball finishes the match but the runs scored are not added.
Whats there for Randiv to avoid giving a century to Sehwag? Anyway his team had lost the match badly and that 1 run to Sehwag would not have made a difference to the result.

Hardly relevant. It was a fact and he cited the initial source, ie. the scorecard...either way, hardly relevant.
@Dare: It was in Sri Lanka's interests to delay the game, to hamper India's net runrate. Last 5 ovs India had scored 40/0 @ RR 8.00. India were upping the ante towards the end, obviously Sehwag took a couple of balls to choose the right one to smash for a six, unfortunately it was the big ass no ball that he picked.

Does any one feel that Sangakara let go the four byes on purpose? 
Exactly. Everyone knows it's just one run, but that one run means something, whatever you say. Every cricketer likes to get a ton, even Sehwag. I have no doubt he wouldn't have said no to another run , it's just that he's being a polite man.
It does matter. May not be a huuuge deal. But it does matter.

India already had the bonus point. There was nothing in it for India or Sri Lanka. What net run rate India had didn't even matter to Sri Lanka.

You rat
When India was down 9 wickets in the econd innings of the match and Murali still needed another wicket for 800, had batsman just nudged the nall near pitch and started running, would lankans have ran him out or allowed him to run for the sake of murali's 800 :P If they had then batsman can just keep on running 1,2,3,4,5,6,7....:laugh He woould say to lankans" I dare you to run me out :P"

Don't understand how the ball gets in Sehwag's stats. Does it in the bowler's too? If India technically won the match just after the noball was bowled, Sehwag has not faced it, has he? Also a not so relevent doubt, when a batsman is hit on the pads in line and then gets bowled, is he out lbw as it happened before the ball hit the wicket? I remember it being this way in EA Cricket 2000.
Nope, in that case the Laws stipulate that the batsman is out bowled.

If Sehwag don't care then who gives a ████ what the fans think. Randiv is legend.
India won the game, isnt that what matters?

Exactly. And lol at comparing underarm to this.

The underarm incident will certainly be there at the top of my list of worst incidents. This thread actually urged me to check out a video of that ball on Youtube, and...well, it was just disgraceful.
As for the games I've seen live, maybe the events in the lead up to the 2008 Sydney Test of BG trophy, during it, and after the match can count as the worst cricketing moments. Before anyone pounces on me, let me clear the air by saying that I'm talking about both the teams here, not one nation in particular.
