Why did Ganguly elect to bowl having won the toss?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. He decided to bowl as their was something in it for the bowlers - turn for the spinners and movement for the seamers. Fully back Gangulys' decision, he was however totally let down by some of his bowlers who seem to get stage fright and didn't play like they had done in previous matches. That's what cost India the game today. I don't think Ganguly would have expected 360 on the board and no wickets for his seamers.

Ah well, the Indian team is a young one in average and probably next WC will be a more realistic for them to win it. I think 5 or 6 of the Aussie team will not make that tournament.

Yep

agree with Ganguly's decision.

Indian bowlers were crap, especially Srinath. Mind you the batsmen did'nt help much!

All in all, credit to India for getting to the final. I enjoyed the ride

Thanks
