from this end

The Indian huddle takes over, and it is as much a sign of the
side's togetherness as anything else in this World Cup.
Kenya may have had a fairy tale run till now, but the semi-final
truly tested them, and the margin of 91 runs shows that India were
clearly the dominant side.
The Indian batting looks as strong as ever, and with Tendulkar and
Ganguly in prime form, they will be the ones India will look to
against Australia.
Kenya take a lap around the ground, as indeed they should, given
how they have charmed even the hard-bitten cynics with their joie
de vivre and enthusiasm in this tournament.
India will now prepare for Sunday, the summit clash of this 2003
World Cup, coverage of which begins live on CricInfo at 0800 GMT
(1330 IST), so do join us then. Till then, goodbye.
