Falling behind a bit, but nothing that can't be made up.

Would love to see India lose this

Great game!!
England had it sewn up and then tried to lose it...

 

[copacetic]

Hectic. The bits I saw of that match were great.

 

[SEF]

Amazing game.

 

[Rosaudio]

Very very good match

I'm not sure what the big deal behind Bell's referral was for. India are against the UDRS anyway and the original decision was not out. They must just STFU.

 

[sand_man]

Haha well said Mike. I agree but the bell incident vindicates their cynisyism....

He was plumb. It was a piss poor decision.

What a game. Haven't enjoyed a contest like that in ages.

Doesn't really matter, it still shows their hypocrisy. If they really are against the UDRS then they should prove their point by not using it in the WC.

This goes to show that if the ICC make it compulsory then even India will use the system. The ICC are the ones who need to stop being such pu$$ies and just put their foot down.

The system is still farked up and flawed.

India should have made 350+ with the platform they had. England had the game in the bag, and a draw leaves both teams pondering if only....


Both India and England should be concerned with the poor poor bowling performance. Bowlers really never bowled to the fields set.

As they should! I'm hoping the WI vs NED game will be good to watch.

Yeah... Gayle to get a 100 off 70 balls will be nice

The game yesterday was epic. Felt almost like the 438 game, except it wasn't even my country playing. Games like that are good for the world cup. I don't see the problem with the UDRS and the decision yesterday. The guidelines clearly states that if you shout for an lbw from a distance greater than 2.5 meters it has to only hit the middel stump. That is to provide for things that the hawkeye doesn't take into consideration.

Have a feeling that NED might upset the Windies here. Will be good for there confidence and will be good for world cricket too. Netherlands needs more games against test playing nations to. they have the potential to become really good at this game.

A comment on cricinfo... Canada qualified 2 years ago. Afghanistan are stronger than them and Kenya based on performance. Qualification for this tournament by minnows should be closer to the WC.

Canada are 80/7
