Who knows, a harakiri by Symonds and then we'll have Lehman, Martyn and Bevan...neither were big strikers. Though they batted deep. Less score, means Sachin wouldn't have felt compelled to take on McG from ball one itself. We should have batted first. Was always gonna be tough to chase even 275 Still remember Ponting laughing when ganguly chose to bowl

Anyway it was a marginal call only, with bounce in Wanderers might have missed the stumps or been just clipping. 2003 WC F is one match about which I have least regrets. Because I remember the TVS tri-series after that in India, where a bowling attack of Brad Williams, Bichel, Harvey, Clarke, Symonds humiliated our side. No Indian team was beating that 2003 Aus side. Also don't forget Dada's terrible record in finals.

Dravid did well marginally. More than Williams, it was Nathan Bracken whose left arm angle troubled our batters...Yuvraj, Kaif, Laxman, Sehwag all were mediocre.
