That was some Imzamam Al-Haq level running. Maybe Dhoni is pakistani?

Pft, he's no Tendulkar.

In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I'll be pretty chuffed if Dhoni loses this without getting out. I had to sit and listen to my neighbours go on and on about how intelligent and amazing he was the other night.

My best mate is a big India fan (being Indian) and I've heard heaps. We're going on Sunday to the final. I think he is going to make a NZ conversion in about five overs and there still won't be any loving peace.

I was worried this morning and thought the scores of smith and kohli would be the indicators. Turns out that was about right
