Zap_Brannigan Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Maybe because we have played 40% of our ODI's against Sri Lanka in the last 2 years (Is the % correct? I remember the commentators saying that yesterday) Maybe because this is our 5th Asia cup title Maybe because the other teams, SL, Pak and BD are not exactly at the top of their game in this format
Holysmoke Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I actually agree' date=' it was missing the 'vow" factor [/quote']
IKnowU Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Jadeja and Rohit would have crucified in a million ways in this forum had we lost. :hehe:
TheWall Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Jadeja and Rohit would have crucified in a million ways in this forum had we lost. :hehe: But still this victory doesn't make those two saints.. :orderorder:
DomainK Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 A win is a win. And it's a tournament final which we are supposed to lose. I cant see how anyone can think it does not matter. And why is Aisa cup not considered not special? Four test playing teams come from Aisa and we are the champions among them.
riya Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Satisfying or not, a tournament final win is much needed for India to boost the morale of the team.,What else we should have done,loosing one more final to Lanka,so that the detractors can proclaim Indians lost another final. The excitement level is low because of the soccer world cup.
Pak_Forever Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Remind me again how comfortably you won against Pakistan? It's funny how people here are suggesting that Pakistan didn't play competitive cricket. The games Pakistan played were exciting, the rest were boring and dull that's why you guys are not excited by the wins.

Had Pakistan played the way you're glorifying, they would have scored 300+ and would've shut the Indian batsmen under the dodgy lights of Dambulla...as India did against the lankans in the final.
vvvslaxman Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I will remember this tournament forever for those two tight slaps by Bhajji one each for Aamer and Akhtar :cantstop:

Just glad that we were on the winning side. It was anybody's game really....:hatsoff:

One can't prove themselves against an opponent that is weaker than them, so in that sense, India are in a lose - lose situation. If you win, than people go, you're expected to win so no big achievement. If you lose, than people ask how come you lost to a weak opponent. 4 Test Playing Teams - Having Bangladesh just dilute the competitiveness of the competition and Pakistan are just a crap team. So really, it was India v Sri Lanka. Aren't we fed up of playing SL ?
bhanu Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Hmm tbh i was wasnt that sad over the lost agasint india cuz we had already beaten in champion trpohpy and the lost agasint autrilia in the test in sydney and the t20 semi final makes this lost a puny little tiny midget lost...

What happened?

Pioneer Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Chasing 271 under lights in dambulla is destroying only. No no no but we are so weak and crap, you should have finished the game much before the final over right? Our batsmen are so crap they should have been bowled out for under 200 right?

Guest OriginalPrince Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 well it's not satisfying because it's a pointless tournament played between 4 poor teams. winning the asia cup is like being the smartest kid in the stupid class.
