Debo,
Sorry I know You r joking! But I want our guys to be in the final in the proper way!
Loosing this match after scoring 320 is something went wrong! So we don't know!
Although I want our team to win, I do not think we deserve to be in the finals after the way we played today!
After today's game Australia would prefer us to be in the final, not India!

| The team will have to pick themselves after this loss. Why Malinga didn't bowl any slower balls or bouncers, only he knows. Why Herath and Maharoof were not given more overs only Mahela knows. All those may or may not have made a difference to the final outcome but when you lose this way there are a lot of questions. |

Adhil,
Yes I think we should give Malinga a rest, especially against India.
Great bowlers like Vaas got hammered too but not in this fashion. |

Deb,
I feel Indians wanted to prove a point to their selectors, their fans back home especially after the mauling they received in the last 2+ months. If they reach finals they might repeat today's heroics. If they reach final and loose the finals Indian fans wont treat them well when they return.
More over if i m not wrong in the past during the hay days of Oz once they were defeated by Bangladesh. |

Guys,
WFT?? I don't think we should be in the finals. I doubt we played some fair cricket in this game. Looks like Malinga and our IPL players obeyed thier masters once again after world cup finals. |

Oh yes. There are lots and lots of questions. These questions were asked even at the WC finals. There too Malinga got hammered by Dhoni. Don't the SLC have a statistician who can put this on paper and come to conclusions about bowlers and batsmen who cannot be in the team when playing against cetain countries? For instance Ajantha Mendis is now useless against Asian teams. But my conclusion is that there are unseen hands deciding the outcome of our matches. We whip the aussies twice and they thrash the indians any number of times and we can-t defend 320 in 40 overs. Go tell that to the birds and even they won't believe you. |

Guys,
Looks like a lot of us start losing respect we had for our cricketers. Lasith Malinga once again proved how useful he is to Indian cricket board.
he should have worn an indian outfit today, wouldn't have made much difference. |
