The demolition of the supposed to be champs, Aussies by India is complete.It was inevitable given the difference in quality of players between the two sides.Perhaps it was the aussie arrogance that they could not see the writing on the wall for quite some time.If any thing India should have won the match more comfortably if not with more ease.A solid looking Sachin was unlucky and then the two set batters in V/Kohli and G/Gambhir got out against the run of play.The composed fashion Kohli was playing it looked as though he would hit the winning run in the end. And Gambhir after playing one of his best innings managed the Harakiri on his third attempt!But for these India would have won comfortably.Dhoni was also a bit unlucky however he should play his natural attacking shots only rather than curb his shots.Bowling, except for Munaf was brilliant.Zaheer seems to have become the most dangerous old ball bowler of reverse swings.The fielding was sharp and the capataincy was also good and his logic to include Raina made lot of sense.
did not win world cup after this win.South africa ,sri lanka and paki stopped their charriot.Australia played with his weak team yesterday.Sir ricky thomas ponting know Tiat give 20-30 runs in extra but he has no choice.

Re: INDIAN TEAM FOR WC SEMIFINAL,

while you have posed a good alternate view, however at these final stages of the tournament I don't think India should gamble by bringing in shreesanth. Sree should've played some of earlier matches, introducing him now would be great risk and gamble. On his day sreesanth is the world's best bowler, but more often than not he is erratic
Last time in WC India was dumped out of WC in first round. This time there is IPL following up with WC. If India does not reach semi final or final the India public as always end up boycotting products, companies stop advt of cricketers for couple of months. All this wud mean huge losses to IPL which makes more money than World Cup and also pays cricketers handsomely.
BCCI will not allow India to lose early in WC keeping in mind the higher stakes of IPL following it and all this makes one thing clear, India shud not lose before semis or final. This WC is perfectly fixed.

It is NOT fixed man, please don't downplay Indian victory. We played really well and deserved to win, it was hard work.

and what about the last 3 WCs when australia was the in the position that is india is now. that time their board was stronger and they fixed the previous 3 WCs and the useless australian won due to its money and muscle power.

VERY BAD MIND,CAN SEE ANYTHING IN NEGITIVE DIRECTION.YOU ARE BANNED TO WATCH AND TALK ABOUT CR
No more chances to take risk by giving chance to sreesanth/nehra/chawla/munaf. Try with Yusuf pathan he will be better than all the above players. He definitely bowl good.
