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

[Arjun]

Let's not forget the start given by Gambhir and Sehwag- hung on for nearly fourteen overs, at a scoring rate over nine- surely a factor.

 

[stumpski]

Broad only bowled one poor delivery: the wide full toss. The rest was Yuvraj at his best.

Yes I think he was panicking by then - that was his first try from round the wicket, which would have been fine if it had been yorker length.

 

[Majin]

Haha absolutely love that, Yuvraj is my hero forever. Especially glad it was Broad he took to the cleaners, can't stand him for some reason.

 

[Days of Grace]

Will Broad need counselling after this?

 

[Dissector]

Coming back to the England innings I don't understand the need to give Sharma an over with the field restrictions. He is an utterly innocuous bowler who was easy pickings. Of course this was compounded by yet another piece of nonsense by RP Singh in the field. With Pathan back in form I am hoping we don't see too much of him in ODI cricket...

 

[Nate]

Top stuff by Yuvraj. Poor Broad.

 

[GGG]

Come on England, a few massive overs and it will be evens.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Solanki dropped for a 3rd time.

 

[GGG]

Got to promote flintoff/

Bah thats what happens when the nurdler just nurdles it, bad move putting Collingwood in.

 

[SJS]

How stupid is it not to try Sehwag for a single over and keep bowling that brainless Joginder Sharma.

 

[SJS]

This Indian side does not deserve to move to the semis.

 

[SJS]

They had a fabulous chance to get that run rate up and they mess it up like this.

BTW, Collingwood has to be one of the finest one day batsmen at the current time in the world.

Going a bit overboard there...

Haha, wtf? Well played India.

 

[Dissector]

I was just writing a post about how India should have won by a bigger margin. But I just checked the Cricinfo tables which have been updated really fast and it turns out they are actually ahead of NZ in terms of NRR. So if they beat SA they are through. Easier said than done of course.

Dude our run rate is already well above NZL's. All we have to do is beat RSA tommorow, no need to worry about the run rate.

Oh oh. sorry for that.

 

[GGG]

Isn't it a weird equation though, you can win the game and your run rate can still go down?

 

[SJS]

Going a bit overboard there...

I think so too.
