The reason for my uncharacteristic lack of sportmanship??

Bwaah there are better analysts than you as well. Others performed poorly because they didn't handle the pressure of world cup well. England of 1979 was statistically better side than India of 1983. Only that on the day of the final, England were beaten to pulp then. India handled the mighty west Indians very well. Were the kiwis better than SA this world cup. But see how the SA choked. ICC rates India quite highly on consistency going by ratings. Going by the world cup victory today, they have handled pressure well. Sore losers who cannot congratulate make no difference. In fact this rubs on them so well that it makes victory so much sweeter.
