2011 WORLD CUP FINAL: INDIA v SRI LANKA April 2 (Mumbai)

[TheParraboy]

yes

 

[TheParraboy]

this game is slipping away from SL

Sangga needs to go for broke and bowl out Murali and Malinga andd try and get couple of wickets in the process

India 3/191 - 36 overs

EDIT: OK Malinga is on now

 

[TheParraboy]

4/227 - 42 overs

Silly shot by Gambhir, out for 97

India have won this game some 10 overs ago

 

[IanG]

The whole of India is about to go apesh*t

 

[TheParraboy]

team india win, congrats to them, and also to SL for putting up a decent fight

Dhoni, what a captains knock, so calm in any situation he is in wether batting or fielding

South African coach Kirsten didnt choke at least

 

[IanG]

And Channel 9 top it off by not showing the presentation. Instead have Tim Gilbert and Tubby gabbing on for a few minutes before going to and old Skippy episode. Surely a filler like that could wait.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

What a shame.

 

[Angry_eel]

What a game!! f**kin loved it. Wenthworthville Leagues club probably has never gone off like that before. Love it. India champions, its happened finally in my lifetime(I don't believe it).

 

[Twizzle]

congrats to India and their fans

hope they dont win for another 22 years

 

[hineyrulz]

Well done to India just too good, Sehwag and Tendulkar both failing yet they still chase down a decent total in a WC final.

 

[armchaircritic]

Well Done India. Far too good in the final.

 

[badav]

SL dicked around for too long in their early overs. Cost them the game

 

[JJ]

At the end of the day, Sri Lanka rely far too heavily on 3 bats (Dilshan and the amazing Sangakarra and Jaywardene) and 3 bowlers (Murali, Malinga and Mendis :crazy... India a strong team from 1-11 and deservedly the world champions - and how good is MS Dhoni... in the final he was the dominant figure from the first over

 

[IanG]

Yeah fantastic match. Went right down to the wire that was very worthy of a final.

 

[Mr Angry]

India too good and worthy winners.

The current teams deserve to number 1.

Both test and ODI they are currently the best.

WC highlight.............RSA choke to our kiwi brothers.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Well done India.

Sensational run chase.

agree, how the hell they left out mendis is beyond me, something fishy going on there

Dhoni is so calm under any situation, he has been so important to india to take them to the level they couldnt get to before

 

[IanG]

Probably the only thing the little master hadn't achieved up to now.

 

[Iafeta]

Happy the Lankans lost. Bittersweet that Maturnablindeyeforsuchanapparentgoodguytoafairlystraightforwardcatch Jayawardena gets a century in vein. What a toss.
