Funny how some people who call indian captain as Mr excuse have no problem with this one. I guess one look at white skins confirms the reasoning for them. Quite a pseudo world. I thought australia never complains. They look to win regardless of situations. wow what a climb down.

No, they were busy in finding how india won even after sachin scored century and 90 in both the finals
The dew in winters set is a major problem in Asian day-night fixtures favouring the team chasing in the evening/night. Toss will become extremely vital then. Remember Austraila vs Sri Lanka final in Lahore 1996
many will disagree but 110 in 132 balls (22 overs) is not order of the day. if you are playing big inning you must catch up later which clarke never did. this is what shastri's of 80's used to do 100 in 150 odd balls. if sachin would have played such inning people might have blasted him on this forum.

110 of 132 balls is a very respectable score. you are basically spoilt by sehwag / tendy's Strike Rate after they get to 100.

Looking at it in perspective, you are right. But still, considering his Test and recent form. He did fight it out as captain. Also 289 was a challenging total, they could not defend.

Tell this first to Dhoni first.. Every time he loses he blames the umpires or the dew or the toss or the sledging.. First listen to all his previous comments after loosing and then comment..

so that means u have agreed that this was just an excuse given by clarke. if a dog bites a man that doesn't mean that a man should in turn bite the dog.
1. The pitch was at its flatest during our death overs. 2. And about the dew Clarke is talking about. It was late dew in last few overs and the ball was keeping low and skiding as well. Same ball kept low and got Dhoni first up and Tiwary survived another as it was not directed on the stumps.

our bowling was poor in the death overs real test of ashwin will be when he bowls in the end overs

glad about virat and yuvraj singh, they along with raina will be in top 6 for the world cup. sachin sehwag and gambhir were among the others who are certain starters in top 6

but you should also admit luck played an important role, yuvi was plum lb very early in the innings, but benefit of doubt was given to him..otherwise result may have been different...

australians always have speacial rule. There is only one stump when it comes to lbw. So clarke was never out.

no they only have PR. It will take a while to become an ausie.
BTW, Yuvi was always an Ausie when it comes to attitudes and behavior
