    ^ Congratulations. You are now almost there. Can't wait for Muri vs Tendulkar.

    Should be a good battle and a good match. I'll be happy with whoever wins it.

    So will I, but India must be huge favourites, all they need to do is bowl straight, their batting should see them home.

    True but the form of Dilshan, (other openers name has slipped me) and Sangakarra could prove a surprise. It starts in half an hour. Looks like my plans for the night are sorted.

    With Tendulkar on 99 international centuries, and in his home town, in the final of the world cup. the script is half written. (Just like it was for Bradman's 100 batting average all those years ago.)

    Absolutely!

    It'd be worth being there just to see a billion people partying.

    Pretty good win for India.
    The six from Dhoni to finish it too, they have a pretty good reason to party.

    It was crazy here last night....people started celebrating when there were 11 runs remaining. I could hear people rejoicing at every 4 and 6 and the moment we won they started bursting firecrackers. It was amazing! No one slept the entire night..

    Initially, when Sehwag and Tendulkar got out, I lost all hope. Then there was Gambhir (poor guy got out at 97) and Dhoni and his last six was fabulous. After 28 years, we won again
