India has now lost twice, after dravid made a hundred. Records are meant to be broken it seems.

During the world cup final, they said, Sri Lanka has never lost a ODI game when Jayawardene makes a 100. Well, not after Dhoni smashed that SIX over long on, to seal the game, and the cup!

A host nation has never won the world cup. India broke that record too ;)
