Joy. Can't wait.

Will have to upgrade the sookometer.

Well, yeah. Will have to buy a new one I reckon. It overheated and packed up around the 10th January... the back up one exploded after the 20th February.

Well if you buy the cheap Indian ones.....

What? They're surely the sturdiest, given that they get tested even when they don't mean to? Or is there some sort of limit I don't know about?

Maybe the Aus sooking led to overload

Which reminds me ... the effigy constructors and safety matches makers are going to be penniless for a wee while in the wake of India's triumphant CB series victory.
Damn ... I shoulda sold my shares back in January.

PS. Dhoni's house will now presumably be safe from any yobs contemplating torching it!

Open bus tour coming up?

Well, the engineer told me they more than contributed to the 'snivelling gimp drive' fizzling out, both teams contributing to the 'persecution complex table beating whinge bag' filling up too quickly which led to the 'childish tw@t transponder' blowing up. I'm splitting the bill equally and sending it to CA and BCCI.

I intend to get somewhat rat-@rsed tonight. What a win! Bhaji playing a part in the dismissals of Sooko and Haydos being the icing on the cake.

Special mention for Gillchurch - What a spectacular cricketer.


And...

THANK YOU SATAN! THE TOUR IS FINALLY OVER.

Sachin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> God

Sweet victory, after all the shit this tour's been through.

Congratulations to India.

It can't be denied that they were unfortunate to lose the Sydney test and that a drawn test series would have been a fair result.

Now they have won the ODI Finals most convincingly and made Australia look pretty threadbare.

More importantly, India have managed to develop several very promising youngsters whereas Australia keeps replacing its superannuants with "new" players aged around thirty. Sure, there's traditionally been a high rate of lost early talent, but if only one or two come through then this will help India match its financial strength with playing dominance.

Forgive the tardiness.

To MSD & his team - well done, congratulations.

Cheers Mick, peterg.

Thanks Mick and Peterg.....

Is it over?

Yup so is all the India-Aus fun over here, which means you Aussies will be back to hunting only poor ol' Buckaroo in no time.

Nah, batty. I think you can see that the aussies and subis have got past the baiting and are actually discussing cricket. Maybe this long pathetic summer of sooking has been a good thing in soem ways.

That said, I'm glad it's over.

Effin O. It's been exhausting. And who is this Buckaroo character that Vikas speaks of?

Still, i'm happy with the Aus performance. Won both test series with an untried bowling attack. Lee, Johnson and Clark with a 4th seamer and Clarke and Symonds (Or David Hussey) to provide some spin, or if we can find a soild spinner in McGain or or MacGill, is good enough to beat most teams in most conditions.

Aye tac. Clearly this side won't be the dominant side it has been for the past 12 years or so, but we should still compete. I'm hoping Bung didn't over-achieve and really has grown a brain and have high hopes that Midge could be something special. Imagine the big lefty in Ashes 2009 if he can harness Davo-like inswing at 145+ kph. He'll get 35 wickets if Cooley helps him get it right.

Thank you skully, Mick, peterg.

We're done with each other.

For a while...

Excellent win for india. Very well done.
Dhoni's brave captaincy is the main reason why IND won this cup.
