This is rather ridiculous of ESPN Star's part. Star Sports is currently airing a programme called "Super Doubles", but not showing live coverage from the match. Absolutely hebetudinous.

ABSOLUTELY!

I switched on the tv some 1 hour or so ago and they were previewing the Greece-Japan football match and not showing the cricket.

Stop moaning... £42 a month is how much English people have to pay a month for the privelage of being guarenteed English ODI cricket on TV

 

[andyc]

oh my
I'm sticking by my words. With Pietersen in, they can still do it. One more wicket and it'll be hard though

 

[Langeveldt]

Solanki in!? England scraping the proverbial barrel, or are there no better lower order players?

 

[aussie]

Hogg has certainly come to the party now he is all over the dancefloor

So what? Just because one situation is worse, doesn't mean the other is justified.

Btw, Bangladesh beat Australia yesterday in case you missed that.

 

[Barney Rubble]

The bottom three aren't totally incapable of scoring runs, let's not forget - Goughie hit an FC 90-odd the other day, J-Lew is good for a few runs and Harmy can certainly give it a whack. Wouldn't back two of them batting together, though - only one of them with KP, or possibly Vikram.

True. But this a first for us in India. Cricket taking a backseat to some other sport.

 

[Jamee999]

6!!!!

Haha.

Solanki hits Kaspa for six.........

You have to remember that Langeveldt must have at least seven whinges and four rants per day or else he gets even more moody.

Ahem, yes Vikram. That's the spirit. I've never doubted you.

You're wrong.

£31 a month. Still a lot but thought I should put the point across.

 

[aussie]

i said i would back Kasper to bowl well at the death but after that shot i have changed my mind

 

[Adamc]

6!!!!

Haha.

Yeah, that is funny, can't believe they've lost that many wickets.

Pietersen and Solanki looking pretty comfortable, a few boundaries and they will be in a half-decent position.

 

[andyc]

79 off 63, very do-able. Just one more wicket for the Aussies.

 

[Jono]

Oh no this will be tragic....

 

[Adamc]

Wow, nice throw... is it out though? No.

 

[Jono]

LOL @ the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire sound in the background!!!!

 

[Slow Love™]

Neil's pessimism is tinged with a touch of realism - and a huge amount of respect for the Australian team who seem to have found their professionalism.

It's pessimism, nonetheless. England are still very much in this, whether they (and English fans) realise it or not.

Dont' think Pietersen's out.

 

[Jamee999]

I think KPP is in...

Let's see, TV Ump.

NOT OUT.

Yay!
