thoroughly deserved
And another example of why technology should not be used to make decisions - Dwayne Smith ostensibly broke the stumps with his hands before the throw hit the stumps, a line decision that went in favor of the batsman.. Nothing of the sort with Yuvraj breaking the stumps.
Ditto the Siddharth Chitnis run out - another line decision going in favor of the bowling team.
And what of the Ashish Nehra run out - just one angle to gauge if the fielder made contact with the ropes before adjudicating the run out?
PS:- Punjab sneak a one-run thriller
I hope the team is hurting reading this headline. Or this pithy comment on Cricinfo
"This would go down as one of the classic chokes in Twenty20 history. "
Oh, and Yuvraj ("I want to tell the crowd that the crowd support was too one sided towards Mumbai. Let me remind them that some of the Punjab players also play for India.") - Fuck you!

atleast now we know that Sachin is the same when he s playing for Mumbai.. taking his team to the brink of victory but never quite completing the win..
PB,
Did Sharjah 1998 not happen? Or the CB series?
Cheers,
oh you remembered only 2 tsh tsh :)
Anonymous,
Thanks for your comments.. Feel free to add to the list
Cheers :)
I really want to add to the list but couldnt think of any ;-)
PB,
Perth 1992, Napier 1994, Mumbai 1995, Sharjah 1998, ICC Champions Trophy 1998 and this is just ODIs in the 90s..
But its good to know India continues to expect :)
Cheers
Perth '92 - Thought India lost that match..
I was only talking about matches that go down to the wire and Sachin staying at the wiicket to complete the win..
Looks like Preity Zinta has become the emotional leader of the Punjab Kings with all the team members taking after her.. bunch of sissies.. crying and complaining that the opponent's home team not supporting them..

PB,
India defended 125 against the West Indies. The result was a tie with SRT bowling the last over.
As far as the Kinks from Punjab are concerned, the entire team is a bunch of drama queens :)
Cheers
oh the one-dayer.. thought u were referring to Sachin's hundred in the Perth test, the one he rates one his best.. the image that stands out for me after all these years from the perth one-dayer is ambrose hitting Kapil for a 6 and kissing his bat and we got to see like 10 replays of ambrose making love to his bat on channel 9
PB,
In those days, each of those replay's was gold ( given the coverage we had to endure courtesy DD ) :)
Good times :)
Cheers
