*Official* Match 42 - India v West Indies

[pup11]

No Gayle and Roach for the Windies and as Bun said it seems they obviously don't want nothing to do with Australia in the QF.

 

[pup11]

Jeez... Rampaul you gotta be kidding me son!!

 

[Jono]

Wow Sachin walked. Because he wasn't given was he?

Anyway send Kohli in mofos.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jesus.

Six pies (including the wide) and then a jaffa.

Rampaul has had a pint of what Mitchell Johnson drinks, IMHO.

 

[Blaze 18]

Why did he walk?

 

[ankitj]

No worries. Tendulkar saving his best for the knock out stages

We must win this one for our momentum sake, though.

 

[vcs]

Ugh.. Rampoo gets Sachin.

Great ball though, he was getting some steepling bounce in that over.

 

[Jacknife]

Very classy from Tendulkar, he just walked, even when the umpire didn't give it, you never see that.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good start, from a neutral point of view we need an India collapse at the start or this will be a nothing game with the side Windies have selected.

 

[Jono]

Gavaskar is such a woeful commentator. I know we all know it. But still, stfu

 

[vcs]

Why did he walk?

Very classy from Tendulkar, he just walked, even when the umpire didn't give it, you never see that.

You don't want to look like an arse on review (see Ponting yesterday). Sachin usually doesn't walk.

 

[ankitj]

Gambhir to do a Ganguly against Benn the left arm spinner

 

[Jono]

Would Benn have opened if Sehwag was playing?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why did he walk?

Cos he's a champion chap, basically.

Total respect to him. Not sure I would've, but kudos to the great man.

 

[Bun]

WTF Tendulkar walked? Thought he was a subscriber to the "stay till the finger go up" philosophy.

How times change!

 

[Blaze 18]

@ opening with Benn against India.

 

[Jono]

This track has a lot of bounce.

 

[Bun]

Cos he's a champion chap, basically.

Total respect to him. Not sure I would've, but kudos to the great man.

Even if he didn't walk, he wouldn't have been any less a champion imho.

But again, if that makes him sleep better tonight all for it!

I've seen him stand rooted after edging even more clearer ones behind. And at the risk of antagonising some of my Tendulkar fan friends here, dare I suggest he would he have walked had it been the final?

 

[BoyBrumby]

This track has a lot of bounce.

So do Ravi's moobs. Hate to see fat seamers.

 

[Blaze 18]

You don't want to look like an arse on review (see Ponting yesterday). Sachin usually doesn't walk.

That was a blatant edge though. I very much doubt if this decision would have been overturned. The replays were hardly conclusive.
