Afternoon all. On the face of it, this is just another group game. On the face of it both sides will go through whatever happens. On the face of it, England have no chance against the tournament's favourites. But, spitting under the surface is a colonial history, Norman Tebbit, hundreds of fans and a lathi charge and cricket's old, unaccountable, belligerent superpower against its new. I'm Sahil Dutta and I'm very excited.

Haha.

In other news, Broad out with illness.

Yardy in for Bopara is the talk from Nasser.

Toss crucial for England; we bat first and score big then maybe. We lose and concede one and it's red rover, tbh.

EDIT: **** it; Strauss calls heads and it comes down tails. Bad guys to bat.

Haha wow. Yeah, England are fair ****ed in that case. Don't see Anderson and whoever else they come up with doing much good against Tendulkar/Sehwag, unless it's swinging. In which case Anderson will become a ten ton wrecking ball.

Leaving Yardy out against Holland but then picking him against India makes such little sense. India should have no problem playing him at all; they really are the worst team to pick the guy against. You could make the argument that India's batting is better than their bowling by such a margin that it warrants playing the extra bowler, but if there's one team that has a bigger gulf that India on that front it's Holland. Bopara actually played really well, too.

Shahzad in not the worst replacement for Bangalore; swings old ball and new.

Broad out is a massive loss tho, not pretending otherwise. 95-5 India for mine.

Apparently Tredwell is playing instead. Oh dear. Why not Shazhad, he's in the squad IIRC.

EDIT: Ah, good. Sanity prevails.

You could've got much better odds than even money for that with bet365 or betfair if only your balls had dropped. Such is life.

Pretty sure it's illegal in India anyway. :p . 18 in a month, thinking of ways to beat the system, probably something like getting a friend living in the US to create an account.

There are people here who use betfair with an Indian bank a/c but I'm too puss about being caught.

OOI, What odds would the Sachin bet have got me aprox on betfair?

Ah oh dear England. This whole world cup campaign has been a calamity from the start. India must have looked at the teams sheets this morning and pissed themselves
