Feb 27 - India v England

[Dabi]

What's wrong with the speed guns? Or are the English bowlers really bowling at 53 mph?

 

[Owzat]

Yardy might just take wickets if the pitch helps, but then it is India batting so I'd still be a bit surprised if he does much at all.

Maybe next time England could foreplan and arrange a triangular in the hosting country ahead of the World Cup, give all concerned a feel for the pitches and England a chance to pick a sensible squad and balance to the team. If we're not going to use Tredwell for example and go with three spinners, something my suggestion would enable experimentation with, then why not take Patel or Rashid?!?!?

bloody hell sewhag is lucky! 1 dropped catch and 2 very near misses.

^That was not even a half chance. That was a quarter of a chance

 

[SciD]

Bangalore has not been lucky ground for us. But does these group games even mean anything given that all top 8 teams will move on no matter what happens.

 

[SaiSrini]

So far, a good start for India though Sehwag played with the hearts of a million Indian viewers in that first over with those close ones. Not too happy with the flow that Sachin has been displaying so far.

Ajmal Shahzad is looking all over the place he needs to be more consistent in his line and length

^That was not even a half chance. That was a quarter of a chance

Yeah I thought about writing '3 near misses' but the commentantors said it was a chance.

 

[Paki007]

Now it's Sachins Turn oh boy luck is favoring India big time here

 

[sami ullah khan]

Well luck favors the bold and Bald (in sehwag's case)

 

[Paki007]

Shahzad's poor day continues in the field as well

 

[Owzat]

Could be better, could be worse, but as always a lack of wickets may come back to haunt England.

 

[Paki007]

Another 350+ for India hmmmm

 

[darthlewis1]

silence. Maybe that awful mass of high pitched screaming will stop now.

 

[Paki007]

Has anybody died in the crowd? when is the funeral?
