The Unforgettable Win :)

Yet another battle of nerves and India comes through...we qualify for the World Cup Final for the third time... defeated Pakistan for the 5th time in the world cup thus cementing the fact that India never loses to Pakistan in the world cup.

It was like all the cosmic forces had conspired together to keep Sachin playing and my heart kept flying to my mouth each time he was dropped or some other wicket fell...In the end Suresh Raina steered the team onto a comfortable total and then there was tremendous bowling and fielding effort and for once it outshone the batting :)

I want to thank:

M.S Dhoni- for his mind blowing captaincy


Sachin-for his valuable 85 and just for his presence anyway

Sehwag- for giving a blazing start

Ashish Nehra- for excellent line and length

Suresh Raina- useful contribution of 36 runs

Yuvraj Singh- for making up with ball what he couldnt with the bat today

Munaf Patel- for being so impressive

Zaheer Khan- for his usual brilliant self

Harbhajan Singh- for welcome breakthroughs

Entire Indian Team- for brilliant fielding and team cohesion

Pakistani Team- for dropping Sachin 4 times and  being a pathetic fielding side in general

It was an amazing bowling display by Wahab Raiz and Sayeed Ajmal.

Waiting for the Saturday and praying for the team to win this one and lift the cup!
