Maybe they didn't know that it was Gilly's last match. I mean, it'd be pretty pompous to assume at the time that Gilchrist got out that India were going to win. If Aussie would've won, there would still be one match left. I think this is why they didn't.

Also dont forget Dhonis captaincy.
He brang on bowlers at the right time.
He had the guts to bring new players into the finals series and they didnt let him down.
He has also batted extremely sensibly and performed well.
As for pontings captaincy
Bracken had bowled 5 overs for about 12 runs and wasnt brought back early enough to finish all 10 STUPID.
Hopes also bowled well an didnt go for too many and didnt get a chance to bowl all 10 STUPID
Lee who hasnt been bowling well last few games and had gone for a few runs replaced hopes so lee could finish his 10 overs an he got spanked STUPID

I would advise indian team to get out of australia as soon as possible.Becoz their media will make another false and crap story.

Congrats India, the best of Englads whipping boys. Andrew Symonds you made my day 
Doubt this will affect Australia tbh, they lot to England and they only went unbeaten through the world cup. When it comes down to it there still the best no matter what the rankings say although I think the gaps closing.

Andrew Symonds you made my day

excellent win by india !! winning the finals 2-0 against the aussies
is a great achievement !! HATS OFF !! :hpraise
in my books, if tendulkar hadnt played the two finals.......
india would have easily lost.......!! He was the calming factor
among the dressing room...single handedly took the game
away from the opposition in the 1st final and set it up
beautifully in the 2nd one.....!!
dhoni has done a good job but i wont praise him too much !
hes yet to be tested under the "TEST" conditions
plus, i somehow feel he always has a dig at the seniors
whenever he gets an opportunity......
oh and on another note :
anyone else think Mohammad Kaif should be given a look-in
again ?? has a cool head, excellent captain,fantastic fielder,
lot of experience etc....
what say ??

absolutely no doubt....congrats to team india a well deserved win,the future is looking very bright indeed.
Now I hope the selectors finally look to youth and start dropping players that aren't performing. Our bowling is in serious need of a swing bowler, this isn't the first series where the opposition bowlers have made our bowlers look like school boys.
