Amish Saheba is a lousy Umpire. The angle from mid wicket camera had clearly shown that the catch was as clean as such catches can be. It was an absolute stunning effort from McCullum. Amish Saheba looks very lost and confused like Asoka De Silva when stading in the center. I have been seeing Amish's Umpring and he does not give any confidence with either his decisions or his demeanour on the field. And it is continuing in the 3rd Umpire chair also. I dont' know, there must be a lot of better younger Umpires in our country. Else it is time BCCI or the Cricket Associations of all the States to start an Acedemy for young Umpires.

Any Common man will give that OUT. Its crystal clear that Nathan caught it full.

U r clearly asleep when Indians were bowling, Nehra is the fastest of the 3 pacers we have. He bowls at 135 consistently. Zaheer's avg speed is 125, he rarely hits 135 these days Munaf has become total waste, he is bowling at 125. Unless you were in coma for the last 3 years, you should know that Nehra has been the main wicket taker for India

Don't worry! That chance will not come at all as India just do not have it in them to pull it off! This is what the classical management theory of "Investment in Managerial Ego" says! Dhoni is now starting to let ego come in the way making good, sane decisions!

Thanks folks, for being realistic! My only intention to make this comment was to make it clear anyone of top eight can win. Murali can just pull it off, despite many who think SL is just a pushover! Finally, passion carries the day! Our cricketers are obscenely paid - that says just about it all. Our marketing kids have no other heroes than them and some film folks who are treated as real heroes and heroines. The real ones are the man in the street who do not know where his next meal is coming from!

I dont think any player of other team will get that chance, Sachin's team mates are enough for this. It doesn't matter how well sachin play, others nullify the edge. And i was amazed to see the casual approach of rest of team india.
