India triumphed at Motera, Mohali and Mumbai. 3Ms

India triumphed over Murali, Malinga and Mahela. 3Ms

Lesson for SL : Avoid Ms in encounter with India.

Agreed that success has many fathers and failure none. But remember that the next world cup cricket victory will come much sooner. In fact from now on, fans will notice only if the Indian team fails spectacularly. So while people remember what brand of Lipton tea dust they drank on that fateful June evening in 1983, the memories of 2011 will not be so firmly etched as there will be many more such wins

. The Indian fan will be looking for newer avenues to direct his/her affection to and other sports will get their due attention. As soon as that happens the cockroaches who thrive in the cesspools of the various sports associations will be shown the boot. BTW what you say above and which I have quoted is precisely the reason why it has not been possible to do so till date, as people were occupied with existential questions.

well, there was also a certain Mahendra (not the LMU one) who was instrumental in their defeat.

lets not dilute the paki brand name too much. Let pakis and white pakis be what they are. Not everyone who competes with TI has to be branded a "xyz paki". Pakis and w.pakis have shown enough pakiness. The SL (and also BD) cricket team and a good number of their fans are generally okay with us.

Cheen-mein-anand,

India has put a full stop to Westindies domination in 1983 and to Australian domination in 2011. India is a game changer.

So much heartburn in pakpassion forum over yindoos getting their dirty grubby hands over the cup. Every part of the Semi-final match has a thread of it's own and character assasination indulged whole-sale.

But visiting the forums you get a sense of blind hatredness towards us. It seems they are more hurt because they lost to Indians. They were behaving like arrogant prick$ before the match began and when God got out. I hope it was restricted to only few online forums.

They wont be, not any time soon, as simple as that. Have you looked at the BCCI President list on the wiki page right from 1928 and up? Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_C ... t_in_India. You want to know about IOA Presidents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Olympic_Association. There is a pattern there: the people who run BCCI/IOA are either industrialists/politicians/"nawabs"/"rajas". It is the same across the board: hockey (right from Naval Tata's days), football (right from Maharaja of Santosh days), shooting (right from GV Mavlankar and Karni Singh's days), tennis (right from Yuvaraj of Pithapuram days), etc. The point being, where there is big money/big power status, the elites/pawarful flock. You can take a look at the Presidents of all these associations even today, either it is Praful Patel or KPS Gill or Yashwant Sinha or some other xyz politician/bureaucrat. One generation gets replaced by the next gen of elites, whether it is Deepender Singh Hooda or Omar Abdullah or Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

You, me and everyone else may have a 108 innovative ideas, but that does nt translate to any real power on the ground unless we also get to hold real power on the ground. Let me put it this way: India may be a democrazy, but democracy is not India. Unfortunate as it is, the reality is biting. One Anil Kumble usurping power in KSCA elections does nt mean every association will turn over, that is an exception not the rule. Bottomline is that it is a circle: other sports have no power that goes with good performances till there is more money, there is no more money till there is power. And there can be no power or money till the unretirables retire. Ergo, its fubar. The only hope possibly is that, once you have some money, power comes and it becomes a positive feedback.

In the group photos of the team with the cup , one thing I noticed was Dhoni was in extreme left and allowing others to be in the center.

Meanwhile has Pewnum P0rnday left for mars?

I may sound naive...but

Why is Dhoni not seen in most of the pictures, why was every one dedicating win to Sachin when it was Gambhir and Dhoni doing the job, aren;t senior players like Sachin & Sehwag expected to click when it matters most.

It is dedicated to Sachin because he has contributed the most and has been a role model to the Indian cricket for the last 21 years. As for Sachin and Sehwag not clicking, plz don't go by just the final but the entire tournament.

I also noticed Dhoni not being there or faded in all the pics. Can anyone post clear pics of Dhoni holding the cup after the win ?

But saaar, it is like scoring in prelims and failing in mains, kya fayda, aren't sr players supposed to click when it matters most, I think Arjun R said some thing in this line after they defeated Oz in world cup final, Sachin is great but he shouldn't be above question.

i too remembered kapil dev. as vina said he was the founding father of the youngistan of our times. i hope dhoni takes the cup to kapil. i will pay for that foto.

dhoni played a nataraja shot yesterday.

kapil was the first uncluttered instinct player i saw. so i have a special thing for him.

i was about to ask today. where is stan, is he too big to post after the game.

sorry.

stan anything about the game itself saar?

its quite interesting, people are now telling there was dew in second innings. yet, both captains had decided to bat first if they won the toss.

arre dilbu saar, chaDDo ji tussi. why ruin it with napakis. we track them elsewhere. here only about what we did.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 03 Apr 2011 18:42

apart from Dhoni , Yusuf pathan has also become takla - seen today in MH Raj Bhavan when PP felicitated the team. the TSA/BCIS guys already shaky will have a heart attack if he lands up there

delhi govt is giving 2 cr to dhoni and 1 cr to its four state players - VS, GG, Kohli and Nehra
uttarkhand govt will give state ratna award to dhoni, also I believe plots to dhoni and srt
and best of all, the champion of champions shastri and audi india chief will present the keys of a new audi to Yuvraj - the prince and man of tournament.

selection of sreesanth was apparently because spinners would find it tough to grip ball if we had to bowl second (we would if we had won toss). the complete lack of success of Murali and Randiv and their frequently rubbing the ball with a towel showed that to be true.

I feel Nike's I.bleed.blue campaign will surely now recover its money's worth....nice edgy theme..will click with youngistan.

btw I was snoozing near the pool at a small resort today when a bunch of young men came there and prepared for the wave pool. going by their BC, bhosrike and laura words prolly just passed out of college. anyways to a man all were wearing nikes and reeboks and most of them had AXE deo's in their bacpacks and used them after finishing with the pool and shower, most of them even rubbed some white cream on faces after that. todays youth sure care for their looks. ofcourse most were strangely a bit fatty....maybe money buys alcohol, meat, paneer too much these days..and on a hot day they spent 2 hours in the jacuzzi guzzling beer and red bull

true wildebeest of the bluru grasslands.
