They deserved it !!!

Well well well....We were millimeters away from winning the match...It was so closely contested. With India putting just 149 on board, and a strong reply from New Zealand (Mc Cullum butchered our pace attack) meant game over for us. But that was turned upside down when Irfan Pathan took two crucial wickets on successive deliveries. Everyone saw light at the end of tunnel. It all boiled down to 12 runs from the last over. Two McCullums were on crease. All went fine untill Brendon hit two fours and the situation was 1 from 1. Now all the fielders were in the ring. Brendon hit the ball in the air towards short on...Rohit Sharma ran backwards...slowed down a bit (misjudgement)...leapt to take the catch alas....couldnt hold it completely. India lost the thriller with whisker. This was a perfect example why they say "CATCHES WIN MATCHES"
