Indians during this trip have played very well, better than what the records indicate. A series of umpiring errors has cost them the test series. Ofcourse there are sufficient cases of non-performance also.
Australians seem to have either distracted themselves with the non-cricket antics and have been party to a number of controversies. But they have looked a bit more vulnerable against India than anyother team, and in this series than any other in recent past.
I hope we have an enjoyable game culminating in a Indian victory which we so richly deserve.

Yes ...Piyush Chawla is a good selection.
In fact I was not aware Piyush was there in the 15 players in Australia.
Why in the world were they playing Harbhajan then .......Harbhajan has done jack with his bowling in this tour......he has been in the limelight for mostly non-cricketing reasons.

hahaha ravi shastri says harbhajan takes his friend hayden as well
excellent bowling by bhajji and chawla after symonds wicket, really putting pressure on aussies now
Re: India vs Australia 2008 Traingular Finals, Sydney
10 overs 2/38 (Hayden & Symonds). Enough said.
Yes...If you had said that before the game began...you might have come across as a genius.
btw, I am not delighted with Harbhajan still.
He started poorly in his first 3-4 overs......and the Aussie commentator at one stage was saying ..."He is doing nothing practically". Its only when Piyush slowed down things a little from the other end...Harbhajan began to grow in confidence.
Also, don't you think Symonds and Hayden brought about their own downfall....I did not see anything special in those two balls.

Lets get real here.
If you want to get real then other than M.Clark's dismisal...none of the deliveries deserved a wicket.
Bhaji is one of the best off spinners around...the only thing missing in his deliveries is the flight. You can't expect a bolwer to be aggressive when Pathan is getting hit all over the park from the other end.

Just when Hayden was threatening to do a Symonds-style rescue job, India managed to not only recover but also wrest back the initiative. Now it's upto the batsmen to chase what should be a manageable (below 250) total.
Re: India vs Australia 1st Final CB Series @ Sydney, Mar. 2nd (Mar.1st USA)
All said and done ---- one guy who deserves all the praise in my book is Piyush Chawla.....he bowled superbly....10-0-33-0......its a pity he was not among wickets.

dhoni picked the team so i guess you consider him a genius?
still not delighted? ofcourse, you wouldnt be delighted if he took all 10 wickets, you say the same thing about ishant sharma...its getting a little old, but i guess its ur mindset and opinion
and its the pressure that he was building up that mattered...
lets give credit where its due
