It was not Hariharan's fault at all - it was Zaheer's! He appealed so throatily. Ban da bowler.:D:
Seriously though, Hariharan is an idiot umpire. He has not given Indian bowlers the finger when they deserved it, and Sachin was given out in the last match by him when he was clearly not out. Neil Mallender handed out some stinkers. Come on, just because HH is an Indian he becomes biased? That too when India scores 353? He's incompetant, period. There should be umpire ratings like they have for batsmen and bowlers, that will make the likes of Hariharan and Mallender a bit more careful.
For the finalsI hope the selectors have enough imagination to drop Zaheer and pick Irfan, thus giving the youngster some exposure to the Aussies before the tour. But that would be too much to hope for.
thumping stuff from India - and really is a very bad day of sport for New Zealand - Yet Another Century for Sachin Tendulkar - he just keeps on scoring. 353 is the 10th highest total ever made in Limited Overs competition.
well done to Sehwag - but i still think he is not a consistent batsmen - anyhow Final battle with the Australians will be his test - and so will of Tendulkar and Indian players.

Shewag 130 (Asif bhai what do you say. :D)
Dravid 50 not out.

My view is still same ehsan bhai - He doesn't have the consistency 31,0,0,39, 130 is his score in this series. His ir-responsible attitude and lazyness while batting & fieldding isn't needed in our team. You should have watched the game, Sehwag was extremely lucky today. Sachin deserved the MoM award more than Sehwag.
For all those who are criticizine umpring. Yes last two decisions were wrong, but match was over by then. Mccullum & Tuffy weren't going to win the match. However, if you consider the decision to give Sachin out -LBW in last Ind-NZ match could have changed the course of the game but none of you said anything and today everyone is saying is biased.
TVS Cup should be named as ... India vs Aus-C and NZ-B teams Cup..
How could you enjoy beating a side which u know is not even w/its full strength..Shame on you..esp on Tendulkar...(In Yoda style): Lucky you are my little big a$$ padawaan that Shane Bond, Macgrath, Lee, Jason are not available!
A quick word for final... I think Indian fast should wear halmets while bowling to Aus batsman!
