Gr8 victory
Its amazing to see the self belief in this Indian team
An indian team of the 90s would have given up and got bowled out for 150 odd but the new generation of Indian cricketers
Md Kaif, Yuvraj are showing the `Never say die` spirit which is good to see
I think the win in the Natwest finals has given the Indian team a new hope of winning while chasing huge totals even if they lose a few early wickets
Now as and Indian supporter , i do not feel totally diappointed if India lose Sachin early bcoz there are a few other batters who can win it for India

I do think that the Pakistanis became overconfident after ganguly`s dismissal and bowled too many lose deliveries in each over
I think that the quickfire start helped India bcoz there was not any dual pressure of runrate and wickets on them
Yuvraj`s innings was importat too but in the end he threw his wicket away

Kaif has proved his worth as an ODI batsmen again
He has shown it time and again on the field and with the bat
Are Kaif and Yuvraj , India`s answer to Bevan and Symonds .
Only time will tell ?
Its not all over though
As we know , the Pakistanis are klnown to come back with a bang and they can be very dangerous in the next game
BEWARE OF THE WOUNDED TIGER! ITS PAK IN THIS CASE.

There are throngs of Indian supporters at Lahore's Gaddafi stadium. Newspapers and television channels put the figure at 4,500. But one sweeping look around the imposing ground convinces you that the hordes exceed the official count
Amongst the hordes are five graying men. Vedprakash, rameshchand, Sudesh, Subhash and Satish Khullar, all attired in white kurta pyjamas, are blood brothers from Delhi.
Born in the small town of Jadawala, 100 miles from Lahore, these brothers are visiting Pakistan to reconnect with their past; a past marred by the gory partition of India-Pakistan and the bloodshed that followed.
At the age of 15, Vedprakash, the eldest brother, had to leave Pakistan and migrate to Delhi.
"I have been dying to see the old place where I was born. With the cricket visa I got a chance to visit Pakistan and my dream will now be fulfilled tomorrow," says the 72-year old Punjabi.
Ved recounts his first moments when the train carrying him and his brothers entered Pakistan on Saturday.
"As anxious passengers stared out of the windows, a young girl, standing at the station, ran and hid behind a door. But even as she hid, she waved to the Indian fans
"It shows that the welcome the Pakistanis are according to us is not superficial, but genuine," he says.? ?
Ramesh recounts that it was a Muslim family that protected and helped them escape to Amritsar during partition.
"If anyone says that Muslims are bad, then he is my enemy. I have a leather tannery business and we work with Muslims all the time. I see no difference between Hindus and Muslims," he affirms.
Satish, the youngest brother, is a die-hard cricket buff and a good friend of Bishen Singh Bedi, who, he says, helped him initially in the arranging for their visas
Sudesh though has a lighter approach to life. He says when he saw cycles cut across cars in Lahore he was sure there is no difference between life in the two countries.
The brothers say their 99-year-old mother was apprehensive about their visit. Maybe, the scars of partition have not evaporated yet. The ghastly memories still remain. Swathed in the bandage of time the wound is still fresh though not visible.
Back at home are their grandsons, who have requested that the tour be captured in images.
For them, cricket is the alibi. A chance to see their birthplace though is the real reason that brought them to Pakistan. For no fault of theirs they were deprived of seeing their home for 57 years.
After the match, the five brothers from Delhi's Model Town area will travel to Jadawala and revisit their childhood. A childhood snatched from them because of someone else's hatred.
Did someone say sport can't heal old wounds?

This is a must read article for all the indians and pakistanis ?
I just posted this bcoz , one must understand what this means to people on both sides of the border There are many indians who were born in Lahore , Karachi, Peshawar and were not necessarily muslims
Leading Indian film actors
Dilip kumar,Raj kapoor,Sharukh khan were born in peshawar

No matter what is the result of the series ,
THE GAME OF CRICKET HAS HELPED IN TSTRENGTHENIN THE TIES BETWEEN THE 2 COUNTRIES
LONG LIVE INDO-PAK FRIENDSHIP, CRICKET ZINDABAD !!!!!!!

B) i think for the final they are going to use the same pitch ,which they used for the practice india's practice match ,

lol ,i still hope india will win, it was very sad i dint watch the match yesterday ,cuz whenever i on the tv to see the match ,one wicket fell from india,i waited till 4 indian wickets were down,then i ran away,

when i read in cric info ,that yuvraj is playing well ,i went back to see the match ,and he got caught,all my family members were shouting at me,
so i dint watch the rest of the match,but in the finals ,it doesnt matter india win or loose ,i will watch the match ,cuz i paid for it,
