@ mhsabir....
I knew that would come up!! I also had read that & thought of "resurrecting" that discussion. But u did that!
Making predictions in this game of cricket is very difficult. I am a die-hard India fan, so i do always say India will win. But deep within, i know that anything can happen on any day.
So, i never forget to put "Subject to", or "Without prejudice to" or "Notwithstanding" like clauses to my claims.
But with SA going out, i think a major threat to us or for that matter, even Pakistan, has been eliminated. Just for case - if SA had come up in Finals, they would have surely been a tougher opposition for India/Pak to beat, when u compare the quality of SA & NZ.
Atleast our team, will be more comfortable playing NZ/SL/Eng in the Finals, rather than SA. In the recent past, India has been the Chief Tormentor of these 3 teams.

No actually the pic of Ponting appears to be the "Mirrored image" of the original one from the QF match, that was already doing rounds.
These days theres no uniformity in the sleeves the players prefer - few wear half sleeved, few wear full-sleeved.
