Whewwwwww what a match, this was one exciting finale. In the last 7-8 years there was Australia in every final of the world cup and their agression made sure that the final was always a one sided affar.
After a long time India and Pakistan, two most unlikely teams with not so good fielding records have made it to the 20-20 final. I was feeling a little let down with India's batting today and thought 156 was never going to be enough. But hatts off to the captaincy of Dhoni and some gutsy bowling from Irfan and RP, they set the match very well for India.
The myth that Indian cricket doesnt exist without Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly will just need to remain that..a myth. The youngsters have shown how the exuberance of youth can win matches for India. If the trio was there in the semi final they would have choked at the sight of the mightly aussies, but this team was just different they fought and fought till the end.
I always felt if we needed to be World Champions then we need to beat teams like Australia and South Africa regularly, and my word what have our boys done they went onto beat England, South Africa, Australia and Pakistan - a truly world class performance :))
Now for a small secret, I have let go of my train tkts to Blore and booked the flight tickets for the next morning to see the match........shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its a secret, jut keep it to yourself!!! The extra fare for the flight is worth every rupee (and more) as India gave a memorable day to cherish. Never dreamt i could see a world cup final where India will win and way to go Dhoni we all owe you one :)
