**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

[chicane]

Match tied?! Cricinfo won't load now but nanaged to show 236/9 on the title bar.

Dhoni's gonna get criticized.

 

[Zinzan]

don't make daft sweeping generalisations based on just a handful of overs in a ridiculously tense scenario, then.

30 minutes of intense cricket is a fair amount in isolation, especially when there's enough errors in that time to count on two hands. On the premise itself, I think NZ/Aus & SA are easily the 3 best fielding sides in the world, do you disagree?

 

[Spark]

Nah, his "daft sweeping generalisation" was pretty spot on, tbh.

SL have been the best fielding side in this series by a mile.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Still behind RSA and NZ, imo.

Yeah, I suppose he did include Australia.

Alright well then I'll cherrypick the previous 30 minutes of fielding from SL, compare it to last Sunday and say that SL are so much better a fielding side than Australia it's not even worth talking about and it'd be equally stupid.

Amazed people are complaining about the standard of SL fielding when it was the main reason this match was remotely close. Yeah they ****ed up a bit towards the end, pressure does that.

 

[ankitj]

I am continuously on the go and not getting to watch these matches. Can someone tell me who ****ed up between 40th and 45th over?

Cherry-picking aside, I just asked you a fairly simple question. Are you uncomfortable answering it or something?

Pollard > any fielder from those 3 sides. WI might be as good as NZ if not slightly better.

They obviously have a fair bit of work on their under-pressure fielding then.

Jeez, calm the **** down. You're a moderator ffs.

Wasn't aware that meant I wasn't allowed to state my opinion.

 

[sachin200]

only 5 balls were bowled in 30th over !!!

This ain't nothing compared to a PEWS rant ****. Pipe down.

 

[Spikey]

Sub-continent fielding is still a long way off Aust/NZ & SA standard, must be said.



?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh, so moderators should be so aggressive towards posters?

Ah sorry, my bad. Go ahead and continue to tear Zinzan a new butthole.

 

[irfan]

Hope the past three games indicate to the general public that no amount of T20 slap, tickle an bash can surpass a competitive, well-fought one dayer

 

[Zinzan]

Pollard over Guptill? You havin a larf?

WI's aren't nearly as consistent as NZ in the field. Crazy thing to say.

 

[Cevno]

Malinga had bowled a 5 ball over in the 30th over of India's innings.

the longer the cricket match the better

WI were pretty awesome the last 30 minutes I saw them field in a game, clearly better than NZ going by your logic. And yeah Pollard is better than Guptill.

30.1


Perera to Dhoni, 1 run, 137.7 kph, Dropped Dhoni spoons it hard back to the bowler's ;left and Perera stretches out his hand and fails to hang on

30.2


Perera to Gambhir, no run, 135.0 kph, tries to steer it behind the wicket but can't get it past short third man

30.3


Perera to Gambhir, 1 run, 141.3 kph, gets a bit of width and he opens the face of the bat and angles it down to deep point

30.4


Perera to Dhoni, no run, 138.2 kph, words can't describe Dhoni's technique here! Stood at the crease and poked his bat forward and squirted out a full delivery, nearly lost balance after playing the shot

30.5


Perera to Dhoni, no run, 133.0 kph, he watchfully leaves it alone to the keeper

30.6


Perera to Dhoni, no run, 137.8 kph, thumps it straight to short cover, rooted to the crease, typical Dhoni

What are they all on about?
