oh come on man. I can think of at least 2 tournaments which in terms of cricketing achievement were far better than t20. the world series cup of 97. that team was one of our best odi teams along with the 99 team. and the bilateral odi series win against a full strength Australia in 2002.
like I said I can understand why ppl were so happy especially in the context of the situation back home plus the way our team came back, and like you said, the way we gave the middle finger to BCCI. but an odi win still means a lot more to me than a t20 win.
and thanks for pointing out about the t20 world cup. I thought it was held every year.
