I watched the game yesterday...it was awesome by the Indians...India beat England!!!! England did however invent this format off the game of 20 overs, India only have played like 4 games in this lol, new experience.

It was thanks to Yuvraj Singh who hit 6 sixes in 6 balls!! a record...fourth man to do so along with another Indian - Ravi Shastri.

Another record...Yuvraj has made the fastest 50 in only 12 balls!!!

This was a complete slaughter by him...but I think everyone did feel sorry for the English bowler afterwards...poor bloke, hope he keeps his chin up and bounces back well.

Yuvraj before this over off 6s, was abused by a English, Andrew Flintoff(in the video)...using foul language towards him. But at the end when India won, he made up with Yuvraj, they were good friends before anyway.

This is classical hitting, a must watch...carnage beerchug.gif...the INDIAN crowd went crazy, as did the commentators!

great performance by india. but england are rubbish in all forms of cricket

Brilliant, I'm not the biggest cricket fan but I certainly appreciate special moments and that was great, especially as Flintoff (who's never been a player I like much) said words beforehand.

Fourth man ever to do that, very impressive.

Indeed very impressive. The other 3 people to do it hit six 6's came off spinners, slow bowlers, but this one by Yuvraj came off a fast bowler, but all special in their own ways. Two Indians to do it on the list, is nice for Indian supporters. icon_smile.gif

This Indian team is very young too, no older superstars like Saching Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Saurav Gangulys in team.

Great sportsmanship...Yuvraj Singh who hit Stuart Broad shake-hands...hope Stuart Broad recovers from the hits.

I hope dhoni doesnt get the test team captaincy also. I will be pissed.

WOW Yuvraj's 6 sixes in an over were awesome. After that game I got a bit interested in this 20-20 World Cup, before I was like what it this this is not Cricket it looks so boring, but now I follow each and every game. victory.gif

Now India has beaten South Africa to reach the semis, and they way they won it was very impressive.

I think Dhoni will captain Indian team for one dayers only for now. For the test side there would be someone else, most probably Rahul Dravid.
VAMAN
India has beaten Australia by 15 runs to reach the finals. India will play with Pakistan in the final.

England usually perform quite poorly in all the sports they invented; cricket, football(soccer), rugby, rugby league. embarassedlaugh.gif

The 20/20 cricket is a joke, anyway. Bring back the good old test matches. Is there any other sport on the planet where you play for 5 whole days and still finish without a result. biggthumpup.gif

Well Done India!! The match was soo tense and it came down to the wire!!....India held their nerve to win the WORLD CUP.


Chak DE INDIA!! beerchug.gif

Great to see Shah Rukh Khan supporting the young team.

No-one gave India a chance to win, the youngest team in the tournament, no experience in this format. But the Indians proved everyone wrong.

India, whose only previous major silverware was the 1983 World Cup, were not among the fancied nations coming into the competition.

Star batsmen Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly opted out, the team had only played one game in cricket's newest format, while India was the last major Test-playing nation to introduce a domestic Twenty20 competition.

But their success earned them a cash bonus of £1.5m from the Indian cricket board, while Yuvraj Singh netted £125,000 for hitting six sixes in an over against England.

Congratulations to the side, they've done very well this tournament to beat some big sides. I honestly was a little suprised that India won considering they didn't do brilliantly when batting.
