Delhi, well gugaon.
I don't really know what's happening outside because I had a few people over. I know youve not followed the game the way some us have, but as someone whose grown up with a cricket obsession and sachin obsession (well he was cricket wasn't he?) , this is a moment I've seen a million times in my head. To see bhajji and yuvi in tears and sachin paraded around like the god that he is, touched my heart.
Tonight I care little for the drama outside. This is personal. This is a moment that within me strikes all the cords in unison and in perfect harmony. Were the champions of the world baby.
Fantastic win, proud to be indian. Great scenes at the end - stunning performance throughout whole tournament and especially to pull it off in the final was something special. One billion million wishes come true at last and the whole nation can hold their heads high for their support too.
Wish i was back in india to join in the celebrations, but here in london (southall) - the streets are packed and everyone is ecstatic and the party will go on through the night.
Well done team india, you deserve it!

if i may ask what was your reaction when sachin got out ? half the people were shitting themselves...but i hadn't lost hope.
Commonwealth champions, to be fair.
Mike will agree...and that's all that matters.
Well in Spoony.
some pics near my house
Is that near Nizamuddin station?
Sorry mate but you look like a shit photographer.
I'd move.
Well no but you'll have to cross that flyover to get there.
mobile phone camera + moving car + over excited people = poor quality pics.
What a great win by team india. Chasing 270+ thought it would be too hard especially losing two early wickets, but the lads never let us down. Buzzing!!!!!!!!!!
Fcukin loved it. Celebrations in Wembley were brilliant but I would have loved to have seen the madness in India.
Fantastic win for India. Sri Lanka made it a great final but the whole tournament has been enjoyable. Great games, great moments, great atmosphere. Just a great tournament.

The sweet smell of victory and firecrackers still in the air.
Although he's generally just winding you up Amol, this time he's also making sense. It's technically the Commonwealth World Cup. Like an extension to the Commonwealth Games because cricket isn't part of that event. Anymore. Since Indian cricketers complained of not being paid enough money to participate.
He's trying to wind me up. Got to give it to Spoony. He always tries hard no matter how little the other cares! He's a tryer alright is our Spoony
Yeah come back when you write that in English man, I can't go through that gibberish!
The word, "nada," comes to mind
Who gives a feck?
You bitters feck should just top themselves instead of ruining other people's joy. Spoony is just wuming while you are seriously being a knob.
feck off and do not cme back to this thread. You utter twat/

I didn't really expect him to perform in the final so it didn't make much of a difference. Losing Sehwag earlier and then Kohli were bigger blows for me. Kohli did a fantastic job yesterday. He and Gambhir really laid the foundation for the win.
We went through this during the T20 World Cup too.
Atleast Spoony and MikeUpNorth's Wums are smart enough. You are just a thick twat.
Were any of the statements above incorrect?
Word up, Salvo.
And can someone tell me why Wankhehe's only a 33K capacity stadium? You would've thought the BCCI would've built a stadium twice if not three times as big.

33k is enough to fill up corrupt coffers, while give overpaid players some hefty perks for winning the CommonWealth World Cup.
The ICC-President is also the agricultural minister in India. If only Rs. 100 million and Rs. 50 million were given to each of those suicidal farmers.
I don't have time for Indian cricketers. They are there not for all the patriotic bull, but for lumpsomes of money. Sachin Tendulkar refused to represent India in the Commonwealth Games because he was underpaid.

some great pics from cricinfo
Still can't believe it. Never thought I'd tear up.
Absolutely legendary quote by Virat and spot on too!
For once I do agree. 33K just seems a little small to me given the passion for cricket in this nation. Compare it to a lakh packed into Eden Gardens. Especially keeping in mind that the final was to be held there I would have thought a 60K stadium would have been apt.
That's one of the best quotes I've EVER heard. So so fecking right.
Bombay's huge, I see no reason why a 100K stadium could've been built. And despite the amount of money that's generated by the BCCI, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the WC stadia. I only liked Chennai's.
Are you speaking from experience?
Because I keep hearing about ex players raving about the Indian stadiums, in particular the facilities. People like Tom Moody (I think) have been stunned apparently by the level of facilities in particular for the players and staff which are extremely generous.
But I do think 33K for a country where cricket is religion and a city which is the financial hub of the nation and has produced some of our greatest cricketers has a stadium with such a small capacity. I was quite surprised when I heard that it would be only so much.
Wankhede cant be expanded. Its on marine drive.
I dont think they'll even get permission to raise the stands
Its a great ground tho.
