Also to add Kemar Roach's Hattrick Raina's performance under immense pressure Yuvi-Raina Partnership against Aus NZL sledging AB DEvillers or Duplees SA practice choke against Eng Riaz's yorker to Yuvi that silenced the nation for a while Murali and Akthar's retirement Darren Sammy!!! following the legacy of lloyd,Richards,Richardson and Lara of leading WI as the captain in a WC the scenarios created in group B till almost the 2nd last game Sehwag's 175 in the opening game(Which wasn't his greatest knock considering the opposition but a century in the 1st game is what makes it special)

These will live long in memory.Watching Aus give up their crown without a fight and expressions on punters face was priceless. When Yuvi was walking in there were good 20 of us watching I screamed york him and york him he did.What a moment.

1st ball of the WC-2011 was hit for a boundary by Sehwag. Last ball of the WC-2011 was hit for a six by Dhoni.

[Stuge]

Dhoni's Six takes the cake :D

[MumbaiIndian]

Yuvi-Raina Partnership against Aus Last ball of the WC-2011 was hit for a six by Dhoni. Sachin's tears!

[NareshK]

It has to be Chucktar getting smashed all over the park like a school kid in his last international game by Ross Taylor and the look on his face when Akmal dropped the catch.:--D Dhoni's innings in the final and the six to win the WC. Sehwag's opening blitz against Pakistan. Yuvraj and Raina partnership in the Quarter Final against Australia. Kevin o Brien's innings and Ireland's win against England All of India's matches from the knock out stage will remain in my memory forever. :two_thumbs_up:

[Zero_Unit]

For me : Ireland beating the f**k out of England and then getting the boot for the next WC because they are scared ... very scared -_-'
