Always been a batsman's game, of course.

Pakistan had 5 batsmen scoring more than any India player not called Hardik, suggesting that the runs were there to be had. Perhaps today's award should go to one of the bowlers who stopped India's much vaunted batting line up? Aamer 3-16 with the scalps of Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli.... all of whom have been in good order right throughout the tournament...... and killing the run chase before it had even begun

A cheater, of course, who should be serving a life ban, so not him........ batsman it is then :thumb

Amir dealt the crucial blows. Batters who could score 250 on his day, another batter who could score 100 on his day and one more who can score 150+ on his day. Those 3 were in-form as well. Three huge wickets who could have scored 80% of those runs as we saw in some matches.

3 hundreds in his last 4 innings, so no argument from me. Very nearly Sanga-esque
