some of the pakistani greats questioned the attitude of srilankan team yesterday during commentry.I think they were getting quiet emotional on pakistan not qualifying for finals.srilanka tried to their best but Indian team was good enough to win the match.the commentraters should control their emotions & be neutral.

i think commentators were partially right. they rested key boowlers like vass and mendis. so they(SL) were not so desperate to win.

not playing vass and mendis is a strategy by srilanka. They don't want India to be familiar with Mendis bowling. Now is will be a big threat for India.

neways India was going to qualify on the basis of run rate so pakistan had no chance their. y worry they made up a good score . when uae can take 8 wickets of SL y cant India think that way. they knew they r in the finals so they rested their key bowlers so big deal it wasnt a do or die situ for them so they went for a change even if India was in that position we wud also have done that. India won bcoz they used 5 regular bowlers which they shud have done earlier. neways late aaye durust aaye
INDIA WON LAST MATCH COZ SRILANKANS LET THEM WIN, AS YOU COULD EASILY MAKE OUT HOW CASUALY SRILANKANS WERE PLAYING AND WERE GIVING INDIA A WAY TO WIN THE MATCH AS PAKISTAN WOULD BE A DIFFICULT TO WIN IN FINALS... DHONI MUST LAUD SRILANKANS RATHER THAN TAKLU SHEWAG AND GAMBLER GHAMBHIRRRRRRRRRR

Sure, SL let India win, but why did Pakistan let India win the first match? India chased 309 runs so it's hard to believe the match was thrown away by the Sri Lankans.

I think there is no need to change the present team, because if we r talking about bowlers, then i think they are learned from each batsman , & and batsman are learned from each Bowlers , that'w they got it how to face the other, So, According to me It's aright team for winnig Final against shrilankan team

When was Australia's name changed to Bangla Desh? In the last ODI series against Aus, did he not score a lot?

Forget about the past, the way he played in both the finals in Australia, he can walk into any team not only India. It is sad to see most of the comments about the Sachin/Ganguly & Dravid. One even said, it is a media hype even though the world accepts them as great players. I agree that selection should not be based on past records but in the same way selection should be not based on age but on current form. It is not a quiz contest to see whether we can do with or without Sachin, but whether he is performing good enuf to be back in the team. Why dont we try & see if the team can win without Dhoni or Yuvraj just for fun ? We cant, right ? So why this question about Sachin as long as he is performing. As far as Ganguly/Dravid is concerned, I think they are not in Dhoni's scheme of things. Sad bcoz they also would have made merry on these placid Pakistani pitches. I hope & wish these youngsters perform similarly in foriegn conditions of England/SA/Australia.

Kumar, This is for u only
» In terms of technique and compactness, Tendulkar is the best: Desmond Haynes.
» I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best: Sir Garfield Sobers.
» He is 99.5 per cent perfect. I'd pay to see him: Viv Richards.
» I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two... his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel: Sir Donald Bradman.
» Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will: David Boon.
» There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don: Steve Waugh.
» Sachin is cricket's God: Barry Richards.
» India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing: Sunil Gavaskar.
» A complete batsman — he's the best in the business: Mohinder Amarnath.
» Sachin is an attacker. He has much more power than Sunny. He wants to be the one to set the pace. He has to be on top. That's the buzz about him: Jeff Thompson.
» If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard: Dennis Lillee.

No doubt he was (not is) great batsman. Statistics cannot be wrong. Just because he was a great batsman we cannot continue to expect great things now. He is getting older, getting injured more often, reflexes are not sharp. So it is better to move when on top, rather than kicked out sooner or later due to performance/injury.

Did u watch CB series & still saying "reflexes are not sharp" I consider u r compairing his now-days reflexes vs his younger age reflexes then only its ok. Though reflexes are not sharp he his more effective than youngers still. His presence on field makes opp. team uncomfortable. Actualy BCCI should use him very carefuly.

Accepted that in 90's he had Jadeja, Azhar, etc. But in 99, 03, 07 he had Ganguly, Dravid, etc. He should inspire others in the team to deliver as well. He performed but contribution to team performance is questionable

Without Tendulkar, we would not have won the 2 finals in Australia. This is a needless debate. A diamond does not have to prove its worth!
Certainly, the future of the Indian team lies with the young players and succession is necessary, but experience and skills have their value. Even now, Tendulkar is an asset for the Indian cricket team.

We now don't require Tendulkar. No doubt he is a best Batsman & a great personality. But the new era of Yougsters are carrying Indian Cricket to where they have to be.I hope the next WC to be won by India in absence of T G D (Tendulkar, Ganguly & Dravid, aka Tragedy). Tendulkar- Tu Asia Cup madhye nahiyes tar bara ahe re baba!!

with tendulkar around we have not won world cup. India had won world cup before tendulkar in 83. So we do not need tendulkar. His time is up in 5 attempts at world cup he could do nothing. Let others try. You will tell tendulkar should play even when he is hundred. As if with tendulkar india's win is 100%. They may loose the final but India can do without tendulkar

Player is responsible for his performance & team is responsible for result. Oz won 4 in row can u tell me 1 name coz of him they won all 4 WC, U can't. They won by there team performance & not coz of 1 player. No doubt Dhoni is a good player but Its Dhoni's luck also that he has got such players who want to make their place in team & thats why he is winning. It was Sachin's Badluck that he had players like Jadeja, Azhar & mongia who had fixed their place in team & were fixing the matches.

What do you mean? Don B'man,also not a part of World cup Winner team so he was not great? In ur opinion only Ponting is great? Hv u read the comment of Jayasurya in T 20. Tendulhar is great, We should thankful to God that we are in era of Great Tendulkar.
When Pakistanis chase down 308 they are applauded as the team which can rise from the ashes. the same exact score Indians chase down but the commentators enlighten us that it is only because of the poor effort of Lankans. This is ridiculous.

the commentry very poor during the whole series and that ridiculous pakistani commentator is worst. he don't even see who is going to striker end and many times says wrong name. height of foolishness was when he said see the wicket chart mendis, sohail... all have taken 4 wkts, actually he was seeing at played matches, shame less person......

whay did SL rest vass and mendis if they wanted to realy win. they did not want Pak in finals in front of home crowd. this is called chosing(fixing) the finalist.

in fact there is report in TOI, that SL underperformed to chose team in finals. This is all view of Rameez and Waqar. surely SL lack motiviation boz they had already qualified. they rested best bowlers vass, mendis. but did they underperform ?? hmm..
Why dont u select Ajit Agarkar..??? He is the king of Swing bowling and it will be very helpful to India team if we have him.... Otherwise sure we will loose the final...
