That is what Sangakara should be saying now after his last night meet in Dhramsena's place....It was a very pathetic display of game through out the series by Srilanka who cheated took local umpires help to set up a false standing for finals...It all started in first game of Srilanka and India frustrated with the defeat which is a part of the game Sangakkara tried to stop the century of Sehwag at last ball.Captains use cricket amendments for good reasons but captains like Sangakkara are exceptions for this.
Here is how the scenario went like Sangakkara the Srilankan skipper cum Keeper was frustrated with
Sehwag's nearly completed century and Indian win both of which required 1 run to be completed.Sangakkara knew Indian win was sure for the taking which started his mind to run in wrong ways.He yelled in frustration to Randiv who was bowling them.If he connects he will complete his century.Tilakratne Dilshan joined in you can bowl a no ball to stop his century.Randiv didn't think twice of the goodwill of his cricket board and some legendary former players like Jayasuriya,De Silva,Murlidharan and bowled an intentional "NO BALL" which was smacked by Sehwag for a six but still couldn't get his century as India won with that no ball run and runs scored off that bowl were not given to him

Not thinking at once that he has to play under Sehwag for the next IPL this act by Dilshan was raised highly by media around the globe and lator by concerned ICC officials forcing Srilankan cricket board to suspend Randiv for a 1 match ban and cut off Dilshan's match fee and leave Sangakkara with a warning...
Everyone hoped that Sri Lankan cricket would be back on track with this light punishment but more hard was yet to come against Newzealand in very next match when Sangakkara physically hurt Macullum intentionally but still escaped punishment.
Here is what all happened...Sanga hit Maccullam's for a four and then some words were exchanged between the two.Next 2 balls were a bit hard to play for Sangakkara forcing him on a back step on the very next ball he pushed it and ran for a double but despite of enough space available he banged his Elbow into Maccllum intentionally he was charged for level 2 offence which was dismissed later on for unavailability of solid proofs.This incident reminds me of Denis Lily and Miandad incident.But that that didn't stop Srilankans from cheating.The very next match had something more special to follow.

The last match was washed out and last to last match was lost by SL so this was crucial to remain in the game.As a result Srilankan Umpire Dharamsena joined in with the players to help them out sorting strong Indian batting line up.Reminds me of Buckner+ Australia at Sydney
With 5 great players of India sent back to pavellion Dharamsena was feeling proud after giving cricket a black name that cricket which gave him Bread and Butter.
5 Indian batsmen were sent to pavilion even when they were not out and clearly not out.Decisions included not only for LBW but snicks by bat which even snickometer failed to prove but Dharamsena proved them
The players were KD Karthick,V. Sehwag,Rohit Sharma,Yuvraj Singh and Raina.
This is one of the pathetic series which visitors have ever had in Srilanka and would certainly mark a black mark on the team.And if Srilanka keeps on treating guests like this I hope there no difference between what they got in Lahore and what they deliver now to their guests and may have to pay the same penalty eventually...Sounds bad but true

Team Pakistan has worser game Spirit than Australia
It was a good game both sides played well lest the fact the old bad habit of Pakistani bowlers and keepers of appealing and shouting for no cause continued
Every time Indian came back in Afridi's team turned game into a bunch of street dogs play
Australia did it once twice thrice... Pakistan has been habitual now
The drift between Gambhir and Akmal raised issues of Pakistan's game spirit once again
In the Later part when Harbajan smashed Akhter out for a 6. Unstoppable Akther started using abusive language against him....who later carried on to smash another one of Ajmal in last over to get India to a glorious victory knocking Pakistan put of the cup.
As the partnership between Gambhir and Dhoni started building creating nuisense for Pakistan Kamran started appealing for no cause....
Things went heights when Kamran raised a fully confident 5 sec appeal for a clear unedged catch of Gambhir.
Though Billy raised his hands but to target the drinks man to get in drinks..It was during the drinks that Gambhir and Kamran came face to face on the issue....
The other side of the match had Shoaib Akhter again passing filthy remarks to Harbajan Singh when he failed to believe that a Tail Ender ended his carrear with a 6.
All this shows how low Pakistan team can go when they start loosing turning an international game into a street digs play...
Disastrous play really ....Its high time now they should start smelling the coffee and believe its cricket where wins and losses are like coin tosses.

Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni.....
Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni.....
The game was all set...the run mines were laid by Pak as Australian wickets blasted of during the journey to victory..but it wasn't really their's infact it was gifted to them by Ajmal in last over...
Then who's was it of course Pakistan's..Trying hard to make a finalist entry for the third time Pakistan stood outstanding throughout 19 overs of their bowling innings but were out classed by Hussy in last over of Ajmal...
Questions were being raised the moment Ajmal had the ball for final over and Pakistan Cricket fans all over started praying..Pakistan's cricket community on orkut was one of them...
And then comments came out shit! Afridi...Last over to a spinner...How can you do that....And then it happened which was unexpected....2 sixes and a 4 by hussy off Ajmal....swept the tide away from the defending champions...
It could have happened the other way round as well...had the over given to a fast bowler..who could have been saved for last few overs...
But then how does Dhoni comes into the picture in all this...As the match was going on my thoughts went of to the 1st T20 Final between India and Pakistan where Indian won in last over when Shreeshant took a marvelous catch off Joginder Sharma..forcing Mishbah on his Knees
Ofcourse Misbah was not expecting Joginder Sharma for the final over when Harbajan was in flow during his spell
A change in mindset of Mishbah costed Pakistan the cup....
Had Afridi thought with a mind of Dhoni Pakistan could or rather would have been in finals...
That's where experience comes into play..Dhoni didn't had either..he tried and succeeded...but that is where Afridi lacked...
Though he bowled well before but under pressure all Ajmal could get was a six and four...It would be hard again comparing Misbah and Hussy...or Pakistan and Australia but when it comes to T20 everything is possible because as they say....

Sweet T20 was just an added Flavor for India
If India would have won T20 it would have just added a flavor of ice to the already sweet Indian records History
Be it 200 by Sachin.....
The No. 1 position in ODI
No. in Tests
First ever country to win T20 cup and only country to retain it for 2 consecutive years....
Are some of the varieties Team India is already carrying..Let others to have a chance...
May be T20 was not our cup of Tea...May be Home played dream of 50-50 cup is ours only...
Its time to move on !!!!!
when a hen is capable of laying many strong eggs there are always chances of snakes lying around trying to get something...but not everything...
A great team fans always has winning momentum in them a winning expectation with them and when that breaks its just like having a fall just after climbing the wall ....
Yes there is sorrow but the hopes are not that narrow...lets expand them.....
Remember it was not only India who is out of this competition SAF is also there so is NZ along with home side West Indies
But only 1 team which tops ODI which tops test matches it's team India
Be Indian Support India...

Pakistan Makes Interesting Matches
It was 8th May 2010...The sword was on the heads and the team was one among the deads...
Yes after loosing against all major teams Australia,England it was Do or Die and Pakistan was thinking something high...
With Kiwis bowled out for 133..It seemed Pakistan would pass the super six phase easily..But it wasn't that easy..They bowled well but batted more like a drama..with the match ending on last ball as the wicket of Abdur Rehman...Kiwis had a rise to skies but still depending on a SAF win against Pakistan which was not on the cards...
A very close one indeed some bad batting display and win of last ball...Pakistan depreciated the NRR though and was easily into the semis after NZ could not withstand English rule....
It was Eng Vs SL then Eng won easily..and as SL prepared to pack the bags home...they something unusual...
A match that no one could ever had predicted....While Pakis had a high stake in bet's Aussies had low rates in bet's..Ofcourse an Australian win was written by ICC fans on cards after a dramatic performance by Pakistan
But it didn't stayed long as ICC fans tuned their TV's for live first innings telecast on 14th May..It looked like its raining Cats and Dogs for Pakistan..Lucky Indeed..As the first of the Akmal Brother started firing with his battling bat Aussies were hopeless...
As Nannes,Tait were pushed back to boundaries...Clark was forced to go for some new tries till Johnson was brought into the attack
But it wasn't over till yet...suddenly as Kamran had a Fall his younger brother stood up Tall with a marvelous 56 from 35 n.o beating the strike rate of his elderly brother...
Both of them amounted 106 off 69 balls...and ended with 191 on board..
Phew! everyone could smell Aussies sweats...
A first over maiden and 191 in ending....Sleepy eyes got a wakeup call to Paki fans...with bowling as their major area of concern Pak could feel the win easily....
Aussies started off badly with warner back to pavellion for 0 but it was MEK Hussy who ended it in style with a dashing 60 off 24 and Aussies won comfortably. Last over with like rockets flying out of Hussys jerousy's pockets..
Indeed a dramatic win but indeed it was a good win to...
