"Aussie boys congrats making another final incredible efforts eight wins in a row, but the most impressive thing is that you have started the semifinal in all three disciplines. if you boys start like that there is nothing stopping you. Davey hunting up in the ring that was an incredible effort and like I said in both of the disciplines, Mitch and Hoff were incredible and Davey and Heady as well, that was some batting so well done boys You have already dusted them off in a Test championship. So why not? Why the hell not? Everyone's talking up how good India is, including myself; they are good, but you guys start off like hungry dogs like you did the other night. There is nothing stopping you; I am with you," Matthew Hayden said.

Ravi Shastri on the Pitch for the final: The game will be played on Pitch number 5.

"It's different from the one used in the India v Pakistan match," said Shastri.

There isn't much of a roll down the wicket, it looks a bit dry.

Especially the length where spinners land the ball, it looks patchy and dry.
