Azhar and Jadeja, two cheats... 

[turtguyakadanz]

YEAH SRI LANKA!

[HeRsHeYsKiSsz]

Btw, I feel soooo bad for Vinod Kambli; this coulda been his chance to finally show that he deserved to be a valuable member of the Indian team by playing a responsible knock in the WC semifinal. Unfortunately, things did not pan out for him [to say the least...] :/

[StfuIdiot1]

yea

[ashif21]

this is almost as bad as that match where SL hit 299 and Ind only managed 54 in 2000

@Rwp1982 Plz they beaten by a quality team

[Rwp1982]

Oh My God! Look at Kambli. Seems like whole match was been fixed. I can never forget that gentleman like Sir Sachin Tendulkar was part of that team. I am Pakistani but love to watch him play. Petty on crowd; they paid money for sticks they received from police on their backs and a shamefull loss for India as well :-)

Azhar did India in ! Cheat!
