Who lost? 
Initials are DD
Another poor batting effort cost a place in the semi's...
Dravid and Flintoff have both been very poor in these six games with the bat.
I'm not really sure what Manhas was up to... 33 off 39.
Last two games I have not been able to chase down a target between 160 and 170.
CG123 added 13 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...
Also why is the top team in each group playing each other in the semi's???
Surly they have the rights to the easier match against the second best team in the other match, as they were clearly the best two teams.
Surly it should be A1 v B2 and B1 v A2...

Thanks Adi,thanks Gary :drink
Never thought we would make it to the final TBBH.
Praveen Kumar was terrible so far in the tournament but i still showed faith in him despite having the choice of playing Nathan Bracken.
KP played very well on a slow wicket but let me tell you one thing...i was in the dressing room when Dhoni got out the first ball he faced.There was a lot of panic and Vettori wanted to come in next to ease a bit of panic but Abhishek Nayar wanted to take the responsibility himself and persuaded me to send him instead.Its a different thing that he didn't really fire big time.
The boys are showing a lot of responsibility and we are now at such a stage that we won't be disappointed at all,even though we don't happen to win the final because we are very much aware of the unpredictable nature of this format of the game.
We hope we entertained you all...more of which will follow in the final irrespective of whether we win or lose.
