ICC Cricket World Cup 2011!

Great match by Pakistan - Afridi is such a beast - a damn good bowler.

India vs. England tomorrow should be a good match - KP opening the batting will be good to watch. Maybe Dhoni will open with yuvraj bowling just to see if yuvraj really has KP as his bunny. Bring it!

Yes but they will have to improve on all other aspects of their game (fielding, catches, stumping, etc) if they are to make it past the quarters. This time they really "escaped" with a close win.

England are making the chase look easy

It would be a great morale booster if they successfully chase that target against India in India. It would also make the WC more interesting by indicating that even totals over 300 are not safe.

India is going down ...

They have too many batsmen and not enough bowlers. They need one or two specialist bowlers.

what a turn around by India, this is going to be VERY close...

Don't think so. RRR is over 10 with only 4 wickets left.

eng need 31 in 14 30 in 13 ? ----- "Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee and his team mates will lose 10 per cent for their slow over rate in their 11-run win against Sri Lanka" haha

Phew - what a match!

India is going to need to make a few changes heading into the quarters - some seriously ordinary bowling + fielding.

Damn - what a game! Amazing.

India need to sort out their bowling. As do England for that matter. Leaking ~340 is quite a bit (no matter how quiet the pitch).

Yes but there was one caveat - Tendulkar was batting. Is it possible to stem the flow of runs when he is in full form and decides to show no mercy?

 

[aj_del]

Am I the only one who thought that Strauss was even better than Tendulkar yesterday ?

Commendable job by England to get so close. Poor show by India, unable to defend 337 against England ...

haha

haha, it's even more ridiculous when Ponting or Dhoni get fined. Dhoni makes something like $40million a year from sponsorship etc, you think he's gonna care about 20% of his match fee?

A century chasing 300+ is always tougher than a century in the first innings.

Great game. Pity it doesn't matter for another 2 weeks at least.
