I have never laughed so hard. It also proved a point, bowling in such a tense situation and so much pressure is not easy and it can get to the bowlers. i also feel Dhoni did the right choice of using the first three spinners instead of pace bowlers. Spinners have a slow run up and can bowl slow and accurate balls whereas the Pakistan, hoping Asif would do the trick used to open with pace bowlers, which later proved disastrous. I think they shud have used Afridi as their opening bowler and could have calmed some nerves on the rest of the bowlers. The teams which were watching this bowl out will learn an important lesson from Pakistan bowl out, never open with pace bowlers if it leads to bowl out. first off, India should have had a comfortable win… as you said in your post, India did what it did Best, screw the game and lead the match to a climax. but i got to say it was very entertaining since India won finally.

Funny ending but definitely interesting. And how could the Pakis miss! Was hilarious to watch that. Should have just bowled slow and straight like Mr. Uthappa! Great game.
