Hey Priya Jay. Why do we always use the bad term 'luck'. If a batsman scores a century, he is lucky. A bowler takes 5 wickets, he is lucky. A fielder takes a blinder of a catch, he was lucky. Be rational. Think positive. No doubt, there should be an element of luck. Unless u put in ur effort, nothing will happen. Look at the other side. Misbah could be plain lucky to have hit Harbajan for three sixes. Or Tanvir could have been lucky to have hit Sreeshanth for two sixes. Had this not happened. Then India could have won very very very easily. So grow up

IT wasnt luck !!!! I agree it wasn't the best shots in the book. The game between india and pak was not abt selecting the better team since both the teams were equally good. As most of the ex cricketers and greats said "It's about who handles the presure well on that particular day" and I think pak succumed to pressure.... and plz try to appreciate the guys when they do well...am not sure if you no that 8 of the guys were under 24 years of age....what did u do when u were 22 !!! LOSER !!!! get a life !!!!

Luck favours the brave, to be lucky, you have to have the merit.The boys had the merit to go to the finals.
Priya, you need to chill man.

Still , crying after India won the match , when will people like u learn to appreciate our Team . This young bunch of cricketers , have played with commitment and fire in them to blow the opposition. So even if India would have lost the match , I was happy because they have given their 100% , but what can they do. So learn to appreciate others, and learn to cheer , as they have rubbed asside the defeat in WC 50-50 match.

Its good luck of Pak tht they reached to heart stopping final over, remember that Mishbah dropped in Bhajji's over, it was easy catch but good luck to PAK or else? India could have win very easily. Its just mere luck for Pak that they have reached to face final Over..
