Group A - India, England, Australia, West Indies

[Laurrz]

Windies lost 4 early wickets but clawed back to post a decent total and I think we have a better middle order than them.

Timmy :P

hopefully for our sake Dew comes in

however i hope there isn't a shock in stall for me

It says something that bookies still hold Oz as favourites.

They do bat deep. So till the Windies take a few more wickets (if they do) Australia will remain favourites for the bookies as they wouldn't want to lose easy cash.

Chappelli asking baby questions to Donna Simmons:

Chappelli - So how does he know his wife will have the baby at the specific time?
Donna - I am not going to answer that.

Damn shame I'm so tired. This match looks like it could go all the way. Hopefully I can stay awake.

Superb first over from Samuels..

This will come down to the wire, but with Hussey and Clarke yet to come, this match is ours.

 

[Pratters]

Lol cool celebration from Gayle.

 

[nightprowler10]

The Windies will need to take care of Gilly, Clarke, and Hussey to have any chance at all.

HOLY ****, best avatar.

Vinay Samant is a Mumbai keeper. He is fielding as a substitute for Windies. Weird.

Now if I can only hide it from James.

I have really loved the last 2 matches they have been like the old fashioned Odi's of the early 90's which was the period when limited overs cricket was at its absolute zenith.

Samuels, Gayle and now Sarwan. The three pronged off spin attack of the Windies. Brumby must be jumping in glee.

With Hussey still to come, I'd say Aussies have it in the bag. Why does the Huss bat down the order?

The idea is to save your better batsmen till the ball gets older to cut out risks while facing the newer ball on these pitches. They aren't very difficult but still it takes an effort to bat on them which is a sharp contrast from the flat tracks many players are used to. This is why Lara came in late and it might have set a precedence for the trickier pitches for some teams.

I just have to know, whats with the monkeys?
