Frenz who understand cricket wud acknowledge that T-20 winner hardly put any impression that its a champion team.Aus ,Ind out does it mean pak will beat dem in 50-50 or test!! no........ well pakistan only played well against SA in semis.all "luc by chance" its a weak team.but its gud 4 pak's cric whc is nt in a good shape. a terrorist country will forget d hatred 4 a while n jubiliant for their nation.all d best pakistan.
Dhoni sends Raina or Jadeja at NO:3 at most critical situation of the match....Younis khan sent Afridi!!. That makes the difference!.
In 20-20, who starts attacking most the opponents will win... I think Pakistan will win today coz they have already been in final last time and their approach shows they will make it quite easily...
Srilanka's Positives: Jayasurya and Dilshan Pakistan's Positives: All batsmen are in form who has ability to contribute a score of 30-40 runs easily.
Dhoni....You should have send Yuvaraj or Yusuf or atleast harbhajan at No:3 !! This is the basic mistake you did and it costs us so much!!!. But remember you cant win WORLD CUP with the money u make in IPL or ads!!!.
Younis Khan is a very cool player...eventhough I dont like much of pakistani players...His captency is excellent...he even said to media that 20-20 world cup is for timepass!!! Now you see he brought his team to the finals!!!
pak was out of the tournament , Irish team saved them ,they were in such a group where there was sure chance to reach semis, unlike aussie group where good teams were there, India got out jst bcz of captain no one else to blaim , the physio report clearly shows 5 players were injured including ad man dhoni he used part time bowlers only in match aginst south africa and successfully restricted them .and when team got good opening dhoni came on 3 spot when not raina came who is young and not have that much experience ,when dhoni could have shown team that he is captain so he will take responsibility to take team out of the whirlpool he made more difficult by batting like test matches. forget abt him. I just pray pak should not winLanka won all there matches so they deserve to be winners. where pak get into finals bcz of South African's famous lack if performing in crunch games otherwise i son't think ajmal is a bowler who is match winner ,afridi plays purely on luck,only Gul is performing else team is lost.
Earlier I was big supporter of Dhoni, but his behaviour and performance has been very disappointing recently :
1. Dispute with his Vice Captain Sehwag 2. Bringing this dispute in open with media 3. Non testing of bench strengh during warm -up matches of T20 WC 4. Non inclusion of RP Singh in initial matches and then giving him 3 overs only in the 2nd group match. 5. Elevating himself to No. 3 during earlier matches and then suddenly putting Raina at this spot in Critical Matches. 6. When Ishant was not performing, why Praveen Kumar was overlooked.

I can't understand why rp singh was in team jst bcz of dhoni's tail. u give 70 runs take few wickets wats the use ,useless fielder, and now for one days Nehra is chosen when he was far better bowler in IPL compare to R.P he gave less runs. And now for 50 over match after 4 years he is back can u expect a match winning performance in 50 over, but why he was not in team for 20 20. And dhoni said players should be 100% fit and recent report of physio shows he himself was not fit and for windies tour bhajji is not fit but still in team, forget abt Badr and vijay I can't understand why they are selected. team of Jokers of that is selectors.

Selection of M Vijay and Badrinath smacks of Regional favourism. Though Badri is an outstanding batsman, but his recent performance is much below expected level.
On current performances, Cheteshwar Pujara should have been selected.

Add one more: Jadeja was not tried in warm up match, but was given a key place in batting order in do-die match.

yes, IPL is money minting machine for BCCI. Dhoni was asked to cover up. Some how their is a feeling of Pak winning finals as they were denied hosting the worldcup. (compensation by ICC)
The indians did not deserve to win this time around as they were not hungry, enough. Smaller teams have always done better against bigger teams as they are treated mercilessly by the public in their rspective countries especially in the indian sub-continet, only when the drubbing by the indian public reaches unberable limits will the indians again start winning.

Everyone knows that Sachin is dishonest, fat, lazy and good for nothing but that doesn't mean you should use such strong language!!!
The T-20 debacle is a glaring outcome of fatigue, injuries, internal rivalry, breaking of team bonding, mental tiredness, exposure of all our player’s weaknesses at world stage without enough time to rectify them, all caused by the marathon IPL played at breakneck speed in a short duration just days before World championship. In which event so many matches have been played in such a short duration?? Just because every match gave BCCI as many millions to take home. And there is no doubt that while Indian players as Icon Players, Captains and domestic stalwarts were the ones who bore the brunt of their so called (demeaning) Owners’ immense pressure and cut throat rivalry, foreign players played coolly like mercenaries who played just as much they wanted cooled their heels and sharpened their skills. Indians on the other hand were forced to beat the hell out of each other and expose the weaknesses of their Actual colleagues to prove themselves for the next round of selling. This IPL was Indian Players Lynched before they could show their worth on the world stage. BCCI sold its soul (Indian players) to the Satan of IPL for lucre of millions and the maverick Modi alleged of misappropriation in his own association, went all the way to South Africa to host it. The whole of BCCI, big players past and present, corporates all are beneficiaries of IPL so nobody is speaking against it. Only we the citizens of the country and fans know that in spite of having talent we were
