I wasn't talking about controversy but how the whole episode left a sour taste & how even if India had won, it would have had a tag that we cheated. For this very reason, I didn't mind any others winning, TBH, I wanted South Africa v New Zealand in finals after this pitch nonsense - so that at least a new team could win WC for the first time, NZ was so unlucky last time.
Many non-subcontinental fans had even declared that if India won, they wouldn't consider it - as we swapped pitches for home advantage & will still consider England to be the reigning champions. What one considers or not is not a point but BCCI gave them a chance to whine & disrespect our players & their hard work, sacrifices.
In 2011, we didn't have any controversies & all the matches happened as organized - no complaints from any section other than ICC of course regarding the Indian govt tax 
Controversy would have been having anyway if we won or not.
What is new about people blaming us for cheating, we are hearing from 1st match.
In 2011 there were no controversies bcoz there were no Social Media.
We deserved to win whatever people thought to for pleasing others.
We did no wrong, it is just Aus played better than us yesterday.
Not trying to be rude
You make 0 sense, England still get insulted for winning due to boundaries, many claim they r not winners.
Nothing matters by those fans who don't consider, they won it in 2019.
