It was a crushing tie.

biggs ...whatever give credit were due, umpiring was poor agreed,but in that case a boundary wasnt given,by which case india would have won.but its part and parcel ,both teams did well. ashwin what a knock, what a finish by jadeja

Great game. Awesome recovery by Jadeja and Ashwin at the end.

 

[Biggs]

Bullshit finish. About 3 wides that weren't wide for the entire match suddenly started getting called an over out from a close finish? Then Jadeja hits the cover off the ball and isn't given out? Looks like BCCI's cheque cleared...

The fact is that India has only won 2 World Cups.
If money could buy everything, BCCI would have bought out all the World Cups.

Some bad umpiring decisions are part and parcel of game. Since you are a New Zealand fan, I understand your feelings. But, this is the way cricket goes on.

Can't help when money can turn your own umpires against their team.

Why is everyone engaging the negative poster? The best way to make someone question their own post is to ignore it. He clearly posted it to get attention from people, and that's exactly what you're giving him.

That being said, I'm glad neither Dhoni nor Jadeja were happy with this tie. Also, the Duncan Fletcher theory of always chasing outside of the subcontinent to prepare for the WC is interesting indeed.

Congrats to the Indian fans, Jadeja really was pretty amazing at the end there. Really disappointed with the death bowling, once again if someone could have landed a couple of yorkers we would have won. Only saw the last 10 overs but how did Yadav go? I see he went for a few runs, but was his pace alright? Its been a while since I've seen him play.

It's been one area where Indians did really outsmart NZ.

It was Aaron who played today. He went for over 7 per over. Importantly he was touching the 145 mark, but a few bad balls every over meant that the pressure being created was off soon.

No Yadav was playing in this game

A bit disappointed that the 2 runs off the last ball couldn't be achieved. Jadeja clearly had the momentum with him there. Anyway, the good thing was, he got the single to deny NZ the win.

But amazing innings by both Ashwin and Jadeja. At least Ashwin will be considered an all-rounder after this effort if not before. His bowling wasn't bad either.

Both sides had some costly fielding mistakes and there were some bad decisions against both sides, so it's all evenly matched there.
