Too right!

Happiest day of my life! The class of 2011 join the class of 1983 as World Champions!

Dhoni secures his place in India history as the man who ended the 28 year wait for another World Cup victory!

Fair shout every dog has it day well done Jeet

Great to see sachin being carried around by his teamates. spot on when Kohli said that Tendulkar had been carrying the burden of the nation for 21 years and now its time they carried him.

After getting over the euphoria of India's victory a few points to take in:

1. The end of the great Muttiah Muralitharan's International career. May not be everyones cup of tea, but one things certain, the World will never see a manof his caliber again.

2. The heartbreak for Kumar Sangakkara. It was the 3rd time he's been a runner up in a World Cup final(2007WC, 2009T20 and 2011WC). Hopefully it's 4th lucky for Sanga in the next ICC event.

3. Mahela's masterpiece that unfortunately didn't see him take the cup home. A masterclass in how to play a proper innings.

4. Gambhir once again leads India when the main men fail. This guy is massively underrated. The new Dravid IMO.

5. Dhoni finally coming to the party. Better late than never and most importantly, no place better than the WC final.

Finally, Sachin finally got his hands to the trophy that he most desperately craved.

Two top sides played a final that was deserving of the occasion. Well played all round.

agreed

I do not think Gambhir is underrated Jeet he has been a top player for some time.

In the end i agree the two best sides played out a good final and no doubt the best side did win.

Looking forward to the Ipl now and starting my quest for a forma helemt..

In India he's still seen as a lesser player, compared to the flair players like Sachin, Sehwag etc. Bizarre but he's been the guy India had been searching for since the mid 70s!!! A solid opener for all situations!

Hope the Lankans aren't too distraught and light up the IPL

Haha I hope so too. Despite being Sri Lankan, I can't complain. We got to the final and pushed India all the way. If only we had had a better start I reckon...though our slow start (9 off 5 overs) was due to the brilliance, agility and determination of the Indians, especially Raina and Yuvraj, in the field and the point region.
It was another great game, and the best team won. More importantly it was a great advertisement for the game of cricket and it's great that both countries are coming to destroy England () - we'll see! this Summer
Well done to India.

I'll never understand why people who live and were born here support other countries

[Jeet]

I think what was most important is that the pitches had something for everyone.

Seamers got something. Spinners will all ways get wickets in Asia. The batsmen had to work slightly harder to get their runs.

Watching 350 vs 351 every game is very boring after a while.

Long live 50 over cricket

you are what your parents are...

[roco]

yes you are technically british but you tend to go with the household on national views

[rp27]

i dont understand that though, especially when people who live here and were born here dislike england
