The one more extra over to 20 over was the reasons of india loss. Dhoni cry baby baby cry when in first match, the match was reduce to 26 over that time he told that we were on top and rain stop us from win that match against Aus just needing 90 runs of 100 balls and 7 wicket in hand same as today.

well said dhoni should be reminded of that poor dhoni still young to talk...
it is not fair to have less than 25 overs in one day game. This match either should be abandoned or it should be for 29 overs for srilanka. i think the icc had a rule that one day game should not be played less than 25 overs. probably we should have gone with one additional bowler like munaf patel instead of uthappa or yuvaraj.anyways congrats srilanka for their winning.

if srilanka won if they have all 29 overs then its good cricket. what i don't like having less than 25 overs for target. it means 11 players batting for less than 25 years. thats not fair.cricket is a fair game. i'm more practical than what u think.
You can't score a century off one ball. Yuvraj has suffered failures in this tournament but today it was different. "There were not many BALLS LEFT IN YUVRAJ".

It is high time yuvraj is taken out of sqad. His body language is worth seeing everytime he is out in single digit runs.

When did Yuvraj score a century of one ball. Off the field I guess. That's why he is getting out in single digits. Time he is replaced by S Badrinath or some other allrounder.
the indian national cricketeers particularly top one will not risk their wickets even if they have chance to win . they are very much interested in retaining their slot in the team.

India won against aus in the last match because of poor umpiring and D/L saved india lossing first ODI against AUS after India all out for 194 of 50 overs DOn't cry!!!!!!!!!
When the match is played for only 30 overs then why should not dhoni go with 5 bowlers in the team?Robin Uttappa is under utilize by dhoni. he can play with better runrate as compared to rohit. why not he go with 5 bowlers as the match is only of 30 overs? This is the blunder decision by Dhoni.

Tewari. Do you think Dhoni could have changed the team after batting the first innings? NO. Could he have changed the team AFTER coming to know that the match is shortened? NO. The team was already announced by then. So there.
If it rains at perth on the next game?then points ll be shared 2 each for aus & Sree lanka.Sreelanka will get 8 aus get 9.India will get equals to aus,then sree lanka will go to final by considering the run rate, they and a good day in terms of run rate,then AUS x Sree lanka final.
