He played special knocks to get us to this final and has done more for the game than anyone! I would say his presence lifted the Indians. Damn Gambhir misses his hundred, oh well, should win easily :
They didnt
The total was competitive, Malinga cleaned up Sehwag and Tendy, rest werent good enough
Beaten by a better team on the day
Man I am getting disappointed by Sri Lanka... heads down, they've given up before it's over.
Malinga... temperament issues. Things aren't going his way so he becomes undisciplined.
Murali looks sad too. Maybe Brian Lara was right that once you get on top of Murali he tends to put his head down.
I mean seriously, in a World Cup final, to behave like that! Sri Lanka have given up before the end.
Needless shot Gautam. But even now Sri Lanka don't act as though that wicket changes anything.
INCREDIBLE COMEBACK BY INDIA THOUGH! Sri Lanka have been the more impressive team this tournament, but India deserve to win this match and the World Cup because they have a spine.

Really annoys me in a way. Seems people forget a special innings unless it was a 100. Gutted for him, wc final ton he thoroughly deserved. Although we have scored quite a few tons this world cup so ain't too bad I guess.

Murali doesn't exactly have brilliant recent ODI form against India.

I agree with all that except when you say SL has been more impressive than India. I mean they played England and NZ to get to the final, hardly box office stuff. India did it the hard way and came out playing well. SL might not have even made it to the final if they faced Australia then Pakistan.

Ignore the one-eyed troll
NZ beat Pakistan by well over 100 runs
SL belted NZ in the group games
OZ completely suck right now
SL are a lot better than all of them
