England v India, ICC Champions Trophy 2013 Final | 23/06/13 | India Innings

[IgnitedMind]

Cricinfo says....they are removing covers

 

[Justcrazy]

A reserve day for final is must

 

[Electron]

I m losing interest now..

 

[IndianWillow]

Now this is a farce of a match - regardless of whether there is further play and a result.

 

[jeetu]

I have lost interest for this match.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

What is the use now, it will benefit the chasing team with 50 to score off 7/ 8 overs

 

[IgnitedMind]

These guys waste so much time....inspection at 5:20 again..

 

[klklkl]

wth is inspection???????/..........just get on with the match

 

[IgnitedMind]

And when there are lights, why is there a cut off time?

Some of rules are just stupid....

 

[IndianWillow]

What is the use now, it will benefit the chasing team with 50 to score off 7/ 8 overs

I don't think you can play 7-8 overs in an ODI match. 20 is the minimum.

 

[Electron]

England have this in bag..

 

[Shadow_786]

 

[mithun_minhas]

Just cancel this pathetic game already.

No point in playing less than 20 over games.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Game will eventually wash out

 

[Cricfan4eva]

People needn't worry. Rain wont have impact other than the momentum factor.

There will be no further deduction of overs and also D/L wont be in play since both teams have to play a minimum of 20 overs to constitute an ODI game.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Match start in 10 min

 

[IndianWillow]

Appropriate.

...but the match can be called off..

 

[Cricfan4eva]

I don't get one thing though, Edgbaston has floodlights so why not move the deadline for rain delay even further which would apply in a D/N game? I mean if you can go out of the way to add 1 hour to the original close of play why not do it so that game can be possible at least?

...but the match can be called off..

yes. That was what I was meaning to say its either a t20 game or wash-out.

 

[Snow]

Why can't they just play till 11.30 or so, whats up with playing only till 8.30 _old
Old Pathetic Rules

 

[hur rizvi]

Just cancel this pathetic game already.

No point in playing less than 20 over games.

Can they Play a game less than 20 overs in ODI??

 

[Justcrazy]

Reserve day was a must.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

It will start rain any moment again

 

[IgnitedMind]

[Justcrazy]

[Snow]

Whats the Par score on this pitch?

 

[Gone]

Sunshine returns...

 

[Justcrazy]

Tredwell on , his BIG TEST !!!

 

[Gone]

Whats the Par score on this pitch?

Does it matter? The game is shortend... and the conditions are different... Dont think India should be looking at the pitches Par score... look to get 120 odd which might be defendable!

 

[Justcrazy]

India likely to target Tredwell and Bopara

 

[IgnitedMind]

What a shot.....

 

[IgnitedMind]

2 more....

 

[hamzie]

what a bs :4

 

[IgnitedMind]

[klklkl]

[Gone]

Back to back against "Danger Man" Tredwell!

Dhawan's confidence showing clearly, no matter whos bowling, he isn't bothered...

 

[Justcrazy]

49 . 1 after 8

 

[Justcrazy]

Its getting gloomy again

 

[Justcrazy]

This match should be made 10 over affair

 

[WebGuru]

Dhawan...lol @ Bopara slow delivery...

 

[Indiafan]

Dhawan gone trying to slog

 

[hamzie]

dhawan put in his place.
BY BOPARA )

 

[Gone]

Confident Dhawan is gone... Bopara gets his man!

Still a good little knock by dhawan, going all out to give india a good score!

 

[MarkCooper]

Holy Crap the Moustache Man made a mistake!

 

[klklkl]

hope it rains now.

 

[MattyB]

Bopara is a clever bowler who takes pace off the ball, he can be an incredibly good limited overs bowler. As proven by his wicket of Dhawan.

 

[Indiafan]

dhawan put in his place.
BY BOPARA )

Put in his place? How?

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Kartik in now.

 

[saiyan0312]

dhawan got caught. he was looking really good but misread and gave his wicket away...... karthik in.

 

[WebGuru]

It reminds me of Amla getting out by YK in that Test match...when other bowlers were failed against Amla in that innings...

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunshine required

 

[hamzie]

Put in his place? How?

by placing him off the ground where he belongs )

 

[MohsanAslam]

Bopara is the bwoyy with the golden arm

 

[MohsanAslam]

Excellent strike rotation

 

[Indiafan]

by placing him off the ground where he belongs )

[Justcrazy]

53 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

140 will be good target here.

 

[WebGuru]

[RWAC]

Need 100 from last 10 here. Get us to 150-160.

 

[MohsanAslam]

What a shot kohli

 

[Gone]

Great shot

 

[Justcrazy]

59 / 2 after 10 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Bopara will will bowl all 4 overs.

 

[MohsanAslam]

Almost tricked kohli with that slower ball

 

[WebGuru]

I want to see Sir Jaddu batting...

 

[WebGuru]

DK should get out so we can see Sir Jaddu...Captain Cool should send Sir up the order...

 

[MohsanAslam]

5 off the over

 

[klklkl]

karthik is losing the plot

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

It should be made a 15 over game here

 

[hamzie]
