Misbah was either stupid or paid off to hit a risky shot while needing 6 in 4 *****. He should have done it on ground, but he did us a real favour.

Lukeskywalker · 24th September 2007, 20:55

Whattay match!! Poora paise wasool!!
Congrats India!!
Signing off!

danlalan · 24th September 2007, 20:56

Gordon · 24th September 2007, 21:00

It was a bloody nail-biting match! Too good!!! Indian team and Misbah, Thank you very much to get home the cup!

Very good show by PAK, they have played beautifuly ! But as someone said
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

rks · 24th September 2007, 21:01

With Pak needing 6 runs to win in final over, I could not get updates either from Cricinfo. But then I heard crackers and I knew India had won. The cricket-crazy subcontinent has had its fill and there will be a mad rush for future 20/20 games. ICC and various cricktet boards will be very happy that India won, for that guarantees the success of the 20/20 format. Our cricketers will be demi-gods again (at least for a while). Personally I am not over-enthusiastic about this format, though. I am old-fashioned and want to see a hard, genuine contest between bat and ball as in Test cricket.

Chak De, INDIA!

World Champions - now THAT's what you call on top of the world.

I dont care what anyone says, but we've found a wonderful CAPTAIN.

VANDE MAATHARAM! Now I'm off to get drunk and go around town honking the horn and waving the flag here in Dubai!

BUSA · 24th September 2007, 21:26

About the captain i agree with steer, dhoni is a nice captian.

Don't you think it was one of the most foolish stroke (last one) from them?

I agree sir.The pressure got to them for sure, That last stroke was definetly not necessary when 4 deliveries were still left to score. But none the less the have come a long way in the tournament and played well.
