Haha awesome stuff in the nz vs eng game. Nz tailender down on one knee attempting to reverse scoop balls coming at him at 140km. Finally got it right and next ball recieved a head high beamer!!

So who won. I know England set up quite a challenging total.

Turbanator seems off his best form.


Indians will do well to have the Aussies 7/8 down by close.

Harbajan has been off his best for a while now. Seven down but with Clarke still there, he could still get them to a sizeable total.

95 overs bowled.....


Spin attack.....

 

[Creag]

And only 85 by the Pakis today. They were pathetic in their over rate despite 33 overs from the spin bowlers. It is almost as though they are throwing this game. I can't believe I said that!

Not sure if anyone is watching the India v Aus game. Dhoni is 199* (230) at the mo.

Lyon to Dhoni, 1 run, reaches the double-century with a push to short third man. That helmet still stays on. That noise in the stadium will be audible at Marina Beach too. This was a risky single, but the throw at BK's end was wide

He gets his maiden double century! At a strike rate of 86.6. What a phenom!

And Reebok gets their money's worth today too

5.03pm All the Australian players walk up to MS Dhoni to shake his hand. The dressing room is on its feet. Same with the stands. Dhoni owns this day

Was a privilege to see that session. Dhoni was a pure genius.

Game will be a draw, unless India puts up another hundred before lunch tomorrow.

But for Clarke their first innings would have been woefully short of 300. Still India in the running to take this.

 

[Ou grote]

The Aussie batting line up ain't want it used to be...

 

[Alan]

Perhaps but its Their bowling line up that is a shadow of their former selves

 

[NeonNinja]

Draw all over.
