Group E - England, India, New Zealand, South Africa

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Pollock again failed to give support : with 5 overs left and 5 wickets in hand, Proteas will be lukcy to get 140+

Edit : Kemp gone and Proteas has lost thier 6th wicket

 

[sd92]

England lookin good. 107-6.

I don't like the England strip, or SA's for that matter. SA's look like old grandads pyjamas

 

[King Cricket]

Pathan bowled just two overs.And Agarkar grrrr :


Ofcourse Dhoni i wont blame him becoz yuvraj bowled two very good overs and then went for runs in the third one.But look at Agarkar who has been playing cricket for india for the last 8-9 years he cant use his so called bloody experience.:

Why are you all throwing the rotten tomatoes to Ajitbhai only? Yubraj should be blamed also.
Remember Agarkar is one of the most experienced players of india and he can come back any moment in any match.

 

[icyman]

To apportion blame on anyway person in this format is unfair.
It would be better to say that the team failed to perform as per as the expectations !

 

[Leicester Fox]

England let the Saffas get 30 more runs than they should have done, we can still win this, especially with Mascharenhas at 8. Snape was unlucky because of the 2 drops, should have been bowled more. broad was ok,expensive but picked up 3. I'd have taken 150 at the start

 

[barmyarmy]

I thought the English bowlers bowled really well there but the fielding was uncharacteristically poor. Bad communication between fielders and poor catching.

 

[RoboRocks]

England were shocking in the field.
Too many drops and South Africa were let off the hook.
The guys will have to fire tonight.

 

[baburao]

Who is just two matches old as captain.
Other than Agarkar, who is the other Mumbai representation? So Agarkar has to play (BCCI line of thinking). Had Sachin been there, Agarkar might have sat out.

Rohit Sharma.

England have lost the 1st wicket.Pietersen is there now.

For christ sake how was Pollock not obstructing KP there?! Shocking decision.

 

[treva]

Should be a rule to stop that from happening. It's a joke that probably has cost us the game!

 

[RoboRocks]

Nah Pollock was going for the ball.
Collingwood gone, England in familiar trouble.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Pollock ran in front of Pietersen, how is that not obstructing him? Now we lose another wicket all because of a joke of a decision. Thankfully we've got a long batting lineup but this still is a huge boost for the cheats, sorry the Saffas

 

[Deleted member 13648]

It looked to me that Pollock at a quick glance to see where KP was, I might be wrong but that looked the case to me. Oh good, Bumble's in the box now.

 

[treva]

Nah Pollock was going for the ball.
Collingwood gone, England in familiar trouble.

So? There should be a rule where if contact from an opposition player causes the batsman to be out of his ground when he would be in, counts as not out!

 

[barmyarmy]

31/3 off 6 overs - not a bad runrate for a test match. Oh wait...
