Man! They reached the finals and played quite well through-out the tournament. Why are they behaving like they've committed grave mistakes?

I don't think we reacted that much back in 2003.

That is a lot of resignations over just one defeat. SL was equal to India in terms of match winning statistics till the finals. In fact, they really creamed the NZ and English teams and were looking all set to put up a tough fight. Why so much over-reaction? Kumar is still an able captain and must not resign.
