Feb 27 - India v England

One of the greatest ODIs of all time. World Cup has got a kick up the ass that it required :cheers

Definitely the best ODI I've ever seen - that I can remember at least. So, do England have a slight advantage as we had two wickets in hand - not sure how it worked.

Nick Knight is summing it up right now - what was Bell doing playing like that - as Botham said, if he had cramp, then get a runner out there.
 
india were rubbish in the first 30 overs of there bowling, totally not interested in winning, dhoni was well lax on his players. but a great finish to the match.
 
Unfortunately this time, there is no Sreesanth to project as a scapegoat for our pathetic bowling display. Only Indian bowlers can do something like this. I don't know what more to say, a lot of swear words are coming to the mind right now. If there is something called non-professionalism Indian bowlers are the perfect examples. Ok....Ok... Stopping right now......

Wow - unbelievable match in the end and a fair result - but England really should've won that match. The dismissal that stands out for me is Yardy's - what the hell was he doing?? Instead of lobbing it like that, why didn't he just smash it out of the ground - it was there for it! Anyway, England have got away with one there, because we sure dug a hole for ourselves. Only England could've thrown it away from 240/2. Why change it when we were going so well?
Wow Indians said Indians didn't deserved to win, Now Britishes are saying England didn't deserve to win. In the end we got the result that both wanted. No one win and no one lost :P
 
One of the best ODIs I have ever watched! :thumbs There just couldn't have been a fairer result. I literally couldn't take my eyes off the screen for the last thirty minutes. What a game!

Having said that, we were pretty pathetic with the ball if you take out the last ten overs. We need to go back to the drawing board and chalk out some new strategy. With this sort of rubbish bowling, stronger opponents will be decimating us.
 
What a game. Swanny and Shehzad (hpraise). Glad that there will be no harsh feelings between me and my friends as we burst up into a big fight as I told Eng will wina dn he told Ind.

Yep, fair result in the end and to play like that (apart from the last ten overs or so) shows that England have as good a chance as anyone else in this World Cup - just have to learn how to use the flaming Powerplay! Powerplay doesn't mean try and hit the ball out of the ground all the time.
