Yep.
Yeh, I guess that was a bad word choice.

TBH, my judgement is obviously clouded but Sri Lanka deserve this world cup because of the unfairness that they were subjected upon in the previous final.

Unfairness? I think it was completely fair. Even if the overs hadn't been reduced to 36, there was no way Sri Lanka would end up chasing 281 in 38 overs with Mcgrath bowling.

If you are talking about the squash ball that Adam Gilchrist hid inside his glove to help him get a better grip of his bat, it was completely legal.

Saturday's game is evenly poised in my opinion. Each team has a deadly opener who can virtually seal the match if he lasts 20 overs. And neither Malinga nor Murali(if he plays) has a great advantage anymore as Indian batsmen can play them both without much trouble. Yet Sri Lanka have an upper hand in bowling when compared to India's and India has a better middle order when compared to Sri Lanka's.

You can't know what didn't happen...unless it's determinable through equations/graphs.
