"It was important that Australia won the World Cup....
" totally ununderstandable argument. Then some of the reasons he gave for India's "lucky" makeup till final! He said "Nobody exposed Rahul Dravid on his wicketkeeping." ..well, how do you expose his wicketkeeping? Giving him catching practice? ;) He said "Most of the wickets India played on were conducive to batting." ..well, let me rephrase it.."most of the wickets TEAMS played were conductive to batting"..He said "The 'potential' teams didn't fire." ...well then you got it wrong! He said "Other teams did not capitalise on India's disastrous New Zealand tour."..well, "Indian team pulled their socks up and defied whatever came on the way!"..He said "Political issues allowed Kenya and Zimbabwe to qualify." Well Kenya stil did beat Srilanka! And Zimbabwe, in One Dayers, can beat England on any given day!!!! So what are we talking about here, Faisal?
It is worthless to create statistics after everthing has happened. Scoreboard is more than enough. All statistics cannot be generalized (By statistics India won the world because Ganguly is left handed)
So according to Mr Krishna, India as a team did not have any contribution in getting to the world cup finals. Seems like he is just another uuy who always berates the Indians if they lose and and brings in luck when India wins. Good to know that he is a follower of Australian cricket. Would be great if he comments only on australia
I analysed that Indians were unlucky and failed to upperhand over weakness of australia.That was the reason why we lost our cup and we played beautifully by exploiting weakness of opponent teams in all matches to reach final.Hey what's right with this tunga's analysis if my analysis was wrong.Tunga should know that everybody will be having their own weakness and who plays better on that day with luck favouring will win.I suppose strongly that he knows a little cricket.And even should put in mind while analysing tings that we beat new zealanders in world cup .And I want to finally conclude that don't allow these kind of faltoo analysists to get into limelight.
Lucky??????

Its absolute nonsense to say that India were lucky to reach the finals.Luck is normally associated for a short term success.India won 6 matches in a row just by pure luck what a joke?India beat 5 test playing nation and that too comphrehensively.
Its even more baffling to say that India won because of the pitches being flat and easy.Mr.KT forgot that Newzealand were all out for 145 and srilanka for 109 on the same batting pitches.
well we should ignore such stupid article and go on with our life.He dosent have any talent.Thank god India escaped from such statisticians.
