Poll: Was WC defeat avenged?

[coffee_rules]

Yesterday in Hobart. I don;t think so. I feel a test series in SL would bring back the shame of losing to SL in a key WC match that sent us out crashing in the first round. But still this was a :finger: to all the Mahilayen - Kumaras and Jayas.

If we win the test series in SL, I think we would have avenged the WC ouster.

[eternalhope]

If we win the test series in SL' date=' I think we would have avenged the WC ouster.[/quote'] Agree.

[f.b.m]

This is just some pan parag odi series. A test series win would be proper.

[prince40]

no for this young side to humiliate the ravans in front of the whole world [aussie media etc] i feel does make up quite a bit....

[Cricketics]

i want clean sweep in test seriez

[IndianRenegade]

Honestly the defeat against SL didn't hurt that much as the defeat against Bangladesh. :((

arey bhai it might not have hurt as that bangla defeat but that defeat eventually put us out of the tournament.. we had to depend Bermudz victory over Bangladesh, which was offcourse unlikely..

But, I seriously want India to humiliate BD like never before. Some of the articles in BD after India's loss were simply OTT, my blood still boils.

Agree.

Yep. A Test series win in SL.

We had drubbed them at home twice 6-1 and then 3-1 before the WC. Murali went on to say, Indian batting is good only on paper. That facking cheat of a mongrel.

Only a better showing in the next world cup can erase the memories of the last one.

[fineleg]

Loss against BD hurt. But it was a fluke win for BD - our guys just switched off totally during BD match. We dont need to worry abt avenging it, we'll do it routinely next time those minnows meet us. Loss against SL needs to be avenged, and I need a Test series win in SL!

We have to bundle them once under 54

We have to bundle them once under 54

We bowled them out for 98 when they were chasing a mere 180 at Sharjah in 1998. Aggy was on fire in that game. Anyone remember the tournament in Singapore just after the 1996 World Cup? (the one where SJ went crazy making the then fastest 100, fastest 50 and hitting most runs in an over). That tournament should have rechristened 'The Revenge Cup'. India beat SL to avenge the WC s/f debacle, Pak beat India to avenge the WC q/f drubbing. Then Pak avenged their defeat SL before the final by beating them in the final!

To be honest, I DON"T CARE about the WC 2007 loss. It was our own making than SL. What I want is for our team to avenge the 2003 WC loss by winning CB Series....

ya winning CB series will make up for WC2003...also this last CB series and should not go to AUSIES...and Indian win here will be 2 CB series loose in a row for AUSIES...

I agree but 54 is different. Yesterday Aussie commentators were just rubbing it in asking question on Channel Nine about this :mad:

[Laaloo]

this is the last CB series and it should go to indians :D com on sach dhoni sharma yuvi and ghambhir and the rest :D

[Guest Hiten.]

No - Test series win in SL would do good
