Yes, it was a good match. I think both teams must be the two best batting teams in World Cricket at present. Thats why we always get good tight matches between Australia & India.

Good for the supporters.

Zimbabwe is really a lot behind skill wise.
Australia A would have been better competition for India and Australia.

Why did Singh get man of the match?

I was at the game and Hondo's catch was magnificent!

yeah I was kind of suprise by it also

 

[Radaga]

They always give it to whoever makes the most runs, it is dumb

 

[Rangeela]

but Dravid made 84 so shouldnt he be the one getting it..
well sometimes I never understand how they select the MOM

 

[Radaga]

Maybe they pick it out of a hat?

 

[joedoe21]

lol. Maybe they didn't give it to Dravid because he was caught ball tampering.

the channel 9 commentary team in sutralia choose the man of the match. i fought mabybe a zimbabwean can get it for a change!

 

[Rangeela]

thanks for clearing that out

That was some hitting by Yuvraj Singh tonight. He's an excellent bat and quite a matured batsman since I last him. How do these guys time the ball so well I dont understand sometimes?

Is it time for this guy to be counted as one of the best finishers in a ODI? He was really good, I absolutely enjoyed his batting. I hope Gilchrist finds his touch tonight and makes a big one. I want nothing less than a close game, all the time spent watching will be well worth it if its so.

Yes indeed Yuvraj put on a great show.. Gilchrist is attacking all over the place currently and he is on 48*. Rain has suspended the play. Hope the game resume soon.
