359:234::104:72

As someone very rightly pointed out this final was similar to the World Cup 2003 final between India and Australia. Australia made 359 and India were bowled out for 234.And people across the world felt more bad for India losing it than Australia winning it.Its weird what happens when you do not exhibit humility in everything you do. Sigh.

Musketeers were superb.They conquered on what was supposed to be Invaders strength big time and attacked from the word go.Free hit, no ball, wides,the left handed MoM(palindrome again!!, the ikickfakeqgpplayersass dude was must be dancing) all went in the Musketeers' way. They made 104 alright, but I do not understand one thing.The umpire is not your son in law. If he says "Not out", he means that batsman is not out.This tournament has set high standards for everything but I cant understand how 15000 people can walk into the pitch!Sigh again.

I loved the Coach's bowling personally.What he was today to Invaders was what Ajanta Mendis was to the Indians in the Asia Cup finals. The batsmam's mouth waters as soon as the ball is delievered, you almost think of to which corner you want the hit the ball to, you swing your bat and then after 2 seconds, you see the Coach running around in celebration. That turned the match today.The Grand Prix was gone.

It seems like some of the dead relatives of the real Inzamam-ul-Haq have been buried at AECS ground. The number of run outs in the second innings was astonishing. The Musketeers were really good in their fielding and also did not give away anything extra (The Invaders gave 30+ and they claim bowling is their strength, he he).

The result was inevitable. Musketeers HAD to win. Congratulations to them.

Alright, it was fun writing this. I still have the Pink chaddi with me. I will come back for the next season. And I'm just one person doing this. Its not a group. And as I said before, I am a Warriors fan and will be a Warriors fan.

The following section is just for the ikickfakeqgpplayersass dude. You can choose to read it or ignore it.


Dude, C code to find if the string is a Palindrome. This will keep you busy till season 2:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
// don't call this function
int isPalindromeHelper(char * first, char * last)
{
if(first <= last) return 1;
if(*first != *last) return 0;
return isPalindromeHelper(first + 1, last - 1);
}
// call this function
int isPalindrome(char * str)
{
return isPalindromeHelper(str, str + strlen(str) - 1);
}


Love you all,
