INDIA wins 20-20 World Cup -07
What a Win ….. What a Finish ……. A nail biting finish.
Where should I start, How can I complete, How can I Describe this in words.
Indian team were consider the under Dogs after World Cup Exit, earlier in 2007. It’s a new team; young team, young captain, they have done the Impossible.
India has bet England, South Africa, Australia and Pakistan in WC Final. It’s really a spectacle, an unbelievable performance, We Indians are very Proud of our New Indian Team. A team without Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly and Kumble. 100% credit to Indian Team, BCCI, Selectors and ICC.
India scored just 157, and put up an easy target for the unbeaten Pakistan team. Indian bowlers were awesome, they controlled the run rate, Took early breaks and kept up to the pressure. Indian won in the last over when only 6 Runs were needed in 4 balls.
What a finish, what a Finish. Nail biting thriller, a typical game of cricket & India–Pak WC cricket.
INDIA – TT WC 07 Champions
We Indians are – 20 20 WC Champions
Full story:-
INDIA claimed the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup, beating Pakistan by five runs in a thrilling final overnight.
Recalled all-rounder Irfan Pathan and new-ball bowler Rudra Pratap Singh took three wickets each and Pakistan, who started well, tumbled to 152 all out in reply to India's 5-157.
Misbah ul-Haq threatened to steal victory from India at the death with four sixes in his 43 but Joginder Sharma had him caught trying to spoon a ball over fine leg with three balls to spare.
Opening batsman Imran Nazir had slammed 33 off 14 balls in a flying start for Pakistan but Robin Uthappa ran him out with a direct hit and Pathan claimed the key wickets of Shoaib Malik (8) and Shahid Afridi (0) in his second over to slow their run chase.
Joginder kept his nerve in the final over with Pakistan needing 12 to win and finished with two for 20, while Pathan took three for 16 and Pratap three for 26.
A good all-round bowling performance by Pakistan, led by Umar Gul, had earlier restricted India to a relatively modest total.
Gul took three for 28 in his four overs as India never managed to break free of tight bowling and fielding.
The tall seamer landed the vital wickets of Yuvraj Singh, caught and bowled for 14 off 19 balls, Mahendra Dhoni, bowled for six, and Gautam Gambhir, caught at short fine-leg for 75.
Opener Gambhir batted through the first 18 overs, however, stroking eight fours and two sixes, and needed just 54 balls for his fluent innings which give India's total respectability. Rohit Sharma scored 30 not out in 16 balls in the closing overs to take India past 150
It’s a history, they are not players any more ….. They are Legends.
Thanks …..
A true Fan …... who waited for a change, its looks like it, Finally.

Cricket World cup 2007
India is almost in a position to exit from the World cup 2007, Indian Players, BCCI, ICC and Fans are praying for Bermuda to win against Bangladesh.
I don’t know whether it will happen are not, from the TV News channels and Papers the reaction of Fans is very clear. They will never look up to the current cricked team with any pride.
For all the expectation and revenue they earn the performance showed in such a Grand games is very pathetic, all the great (So called Great players) don’t show good performance when it’s most need from them.
Indian performance is very pathetic and awful, Performance by the Batting department, bowling and Fielding departments are very poor. I am sure there is more talent in India, we need to find the mole in the system to Re-define the Indian Cricket team
In India Cricket is not just a Game it is a Religion
I will be waiting for the match to end ….. Let’s keep our fingers crossed …… I am sure this world cup will bring a lot of changes to Indian Cricket team, Management and among fans.

Indian Cricket team
Indian Cricket team:
Yesterday I watched the BIG Fight show in NDTV about Asian Cricketing teams, and main discussion was about Indian Cricket team.
We saw a lot of cricket in the recent time, Indians are not faring well in any conditions, May be in India or Foreign pitches. The main reason according to me is the following:
1. Not enough talent in Pace bowling department,
2. Batsmen lack consistency,
3. Spin is also loosing track,
4. We need to redesign the selection process,
5. We need to change the Internal cricket tournament Design,
6. We need to bring more youngsters into cricket and
7. 3rd position problem.
All these seems to be a long term plan, How can India win the world Cup ? Is there a chance ?
At this stage, I am personally sorry to make this statement – but still - I don’t think so.
We need to build a strong pace bowling department with existing Pathan, Munaf, Z Khan, Nehra, Balaji and Agarkar. I feel we have spent enough time with all of them expect for Munaf. In spin we need to bring new bowlers, at present Kumble and Harbajan should be trained well.
The real problem is also in consistency of bating, we have Super Brands like Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Yuvraj etc ….. But they don’t play in big matches - expect for the THE WALL – Dravid. I hope Dhoni will keep the good goin, Of late I see more pressure on him too.
Each and every cricketer earns a lot of money in the commercials, at least for that sake they need to practice well and deliver well. Even if India cricketers don’t play for Fame & Money, at least they should try to fulfill the Dreams of Billions of fans like me.
Cricket is not a game; it’s a Religion in India
It’s a shame to see none of the India cricketers name in ICC awards, Dravid missed Best captain award, Yuvraj missed Best batsmen award, and No one even expected any award for Young player or Best Bowler. The consolation price for the Indian team came when they saw 3 names of Indians in One day ICC Team and Dravid being captain of Test ICC Team.
As a great Indian fan, I would love to see India win the World cup, but we need to work a lot and Deliver. We need to prove in South Africa First and we have to Build a stable team and go on a winning spree and take to World Cup. I will pray for India
