It was a big joke from SL captain saying toss was the thing that decided the winner.Actually it was the better team that won both the semis.Even if SL would put India we would have scored something around 250 and SL would find it difficult to chase.Infact India having an unquestionable advantage over SL over the last few years.But definitely ENG will pose a bigger challenge for India in the finals particularly when they have the likes of Anderson,Broad and Finn among their bowlers and Cook,Trott,Morgan among the batsmen.

why it is fixed,Indian bowlers are highly underrated,I believe we are the best .No team can match our batting strength and thanks to IPL.The way kerry pakers helped Aussies,west Indies and pakis in 70s.IPL has done to our players.
where are the critics ,before the matches could start who kept saying that this team not a good selection , will not qualify , will not with stand the English condition, no experience , partly or 50 % CSK team , biased selection blah .... blah . where are those Dhoni haters . this team is a champion team no matter they win the final or not they deserve to be in the final.

Till thurseday i believed only one man can deliver that kind of a magic ball.Shane Warne.But Aswin really stunned everyone.Hope he can repeat it in the finals also.
This is first time in the history of Indian cricket that Indian fans are very much optimistic about its win in this tournament . Otherwise people always use to be doubtful about India’s win . What is the reason behind this change ?? All players suddenly came in form ?? Young Team ?? or MSD’s captainship ?? or Sheer luck ??
Does not matter who wins the final - India looks 'the' champion side... followed by England... Heartening to see we doing so well abroad, that too in England(still the scars of last series remains)... Like it or not, IPL has given a lot of confidence to these young players to achieve anything... Way to go...
