I still don't believe him! That pitch gets better with the dew look at the Aussies it was a doddle!

That’s because they played well. I believe Sharma, he said it, the commentators said they thought he said it because he meant it, if you think he’s a liar that’s your privilege

My gosh... Robbie Williams all is forgiven. This guy. Beyond heinous crimes, can he get any more unlikeable?

“currently”! Doesn't that just tell you everything about him?

Football different winning the toss makes no difference in cricket is makes a massive difference

I get what you are saying, But India bottled it batting first by not getting a good score on the board, it just made it easy for the Aussies to bat without pressure from the scoreboard or the crowd,

Was losing the toss key to India batting so badly, I don't think the Aussies bowled that well, India just kept coughing up key wickets, Pressure and the noise from the stands has been so important for India in this World Cup and the other teams have just bottled it when facing India, But like I said the Aussies are proper party poopers and love a us against the world challenge

India beat all other 9 teams including NZ twice. Australia look like beating all other 9 teams, avenging their 2 loses in the semi and the final looking at 9 wins in row, as opposed to India ten.

What a fantastic story, and hopefully we get a clear winner not a count back Tie.

Australia written off by some after their first two games (but were still 4th favourite then).

Exactly the same as the last one though format wise.

All bar 5 games were D/N, it was only when 2 games on some Saturdays they had a day game.

But a big final should have both teams playing the same sort of conditions and light

Great that Channel 5 showed the game. Excellent coverage and Mike Atherton is a good listen.

Money money money, it’s a rich man’s world.

I remember Shane Watson saying he could never understand the DRS and basically just gave up trying after a few years.

Press the button, open your flap, and off you zoom.

No it tells you about his football views. He is a fan of the game, not any particular team.
