Rain just ruins everything. Why not have a reserve day? You'd think after the amount of times rain has stopped play, they'd think of something. This is a final, it's more important than a few T20 games against NZ. No way any play will happen today. Such a pity.

This is just sad! Top 2 teams squaring off and the rain has ruined the whole day!

And that's the fucking irony of it. We were in sublime form in that edition as well, but in the end had to share it with the home team. This sucks.

Hopefully we'll be able to get a T20 match. We should be able to win it then.

According to the Weather Channel there shouldn't be any more rain today.

Blue skies in the South-West where the weather is coming from

Mubarak to all the Indians on this forum!

India were definitely the best team in this tournament.

[Ankit 3,176]

Champions. :woo: :woo:

Brilliant bowling by Ashwin and Sir Jadeja! BTW England are as much of chokers as are South Africa!

Went out so didn't see it but was checking my phone. Quite upset really, all we want to see in our lives is our teams win stuff. We were in control but once again we messed it up. I'd love to see England win a world cup in a big sport like Football, Rugby and Cricket but we, as a country just seem to fuck everything up. Fed up. I'm sure you Indians will enjoy your night though.

One thing to consider is that the wicket was turning. a LOT. Ashwin, Jadeja and even Raina got decent turn on the wicket. Big factor in stifling the English batsmen
