Still much better than Eggball

Still much better than Eggball

With, as you call it, "Eggball", at least we can build stadiums for more the 29,000 spectators

There are Basketball arenas over here that seat pretty close to 29,000 people.

I really enjoyed the game, Pakistan had it all to play for yet let it slip away. Anyway I am now looking forward to the final where I will be rooting for Sri Lanka....god I love cricket

This is one of the smaller stadiums in India

Too true, I once saw a football match in Calcutta with up to 120'000 people!!

Still, congrats India.

Pakistan were playing terrible, but still congrats to India.

India Beat Pakistan!!!!

India = Awesome!

Now time to pwn Sri Lanka in the finals.

I reckon that if they take the top order out, the middle order is bound to crumble.

I hear that Bulgaria has a really talented young Seeker, those 150 points could really be the difference maker.

My dad called me up literally screaming in joy with India's win.

When I first heard about this match, it was from another American who said that "India and Pakistan were duking it out," to which I responded, "Well, that'll end well..."

Awful game for someone without a team to support tbh. Hopefully the Sri Lanka-India game can be more entertaining. Some great batsmen, even if Murali and the Indian bowlers aren't in top form.

I wanted the Black Caps in the final....

The bowlers performed quite well against Pakistan, considering it was not a good pitch for pace.

@Erikz: Me too...

India don't have good bowlers sadly except for Zaheer. Last match though was a better one for our bowlers. Should have seen em early on specially against England worst bowling line up one could find

While living in a previous apartment, I learned that there was a cricket field quite close by. One night I went to watch a game.

I arrived early and paid very close attention as the match progressed.

When all was said and done, I had absolutely no idea what had just happened.

I then went home and found the rules for cricket online. I read them very carefully, in the hope that it might tell me what I had just seen.

No help whatsoever....

Today is the Final, India versus SriLanka. Thankfully, today is only a weekend so half day at work. Will get home just in time to catch the match start. The beer is chilled, friends have been called over, the big screen is ready, the BBQ is ready too. Win or Lose its going to be a good day.

India WON the WORLD CUP!
