I agree with Warne. 320 very possibly the target.
Might fall 20 runs short, but I think it is on.

Kudos to Sharma though for digging them out their hole after the earlier poor start.

Cricinfo comment

Sahil: "Had Rohit Sharma not been a cricketer, he would have been a surgeon."

After Mahela Jayawardene's retirement, I think he's the best candidate to take up the mantle of the most beautiful batsmen to watch in international cricket. Pure elegance personified! I have a problem with his weight issues though, and I find him lazy at times. Other than that you can watch every day of the week.

Could this have an impact on the cricket in the next few days? Any WC venues here?

Quite possible, but they do have a reserve day. If that fails then the group finishes/points/RR will come into play.

Hmm, it shouldn't (but then again, I'm no meteorologist). Remaining fixtures (apart from today's game) are in Adelaide, Wellington, Auckland, Sydney and then the final back in Melbourne. All cities in South Australia.

Bloody hell - interesting stat - India have lost zero wickets during this world cup during the batting powerplay .

 

[Hectic]

Good come back by Bangladesh.

 

[Bighit]

I don't understand why Bangladesh haven't used Mohammed to bowl another over, he has got the 3rd best figures in their current lineup, and has only bowled 1 over.

It is very far away, its a big continent...we arent playing in the tropics.

For the record Wellington and Auckland are in NZ, MCG and SCG are in Victoria and NSW respectively, only Adelaide is in South Australia

As I said, huge continent....plus the shaky isles a few thousand km away.

I meant South Australia as in the South of Australia, but yeah, potayto potaato... I know Wellington and Auckland are in NZ; just forgot to add that (was concentrating on the commentary while typing)

245/4 after 45 overs.
R Sharma 112*
MS Dhoni 1*

10rpo = 295 final score...

Thx.

Need a an urgent wicket here... Sharma would be preferable.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Ag this is getting ridiculous now.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Beaut of a delivery. Horse has bolted though...

Wish granted.

 

[Creag]

Wish granted.

You are most kind...

Now for Dhoni!!! :twisted:

 

[Agent_Smith]

No team has successfully chased a 300+ score at the MCG.

 

[AthenianOwl]

Come on, India!
