Rahane is

 

[AlizeeFan]

No Aaron in this side.

 

[Statsman]

No Aaron in this side.

Poor selection. Tiwary, Uthappa, Rahane, Yusuf, Jadeja and Vinay - That's 6 gambles in one side.

 

[Statsman]

2 of the 6 gambles are back in the pavilion now.

 

[Poison]

Brilliant brilliant catch by Kies.

 

[Shayan]

Sri Lanka become the world's number 1 T20 team if India win this, India will go 2nd, and England 3rd.

 

[velu]

Raina will show who is the boss )

Bresnan to Kohli, OUT, 120.1 kph, caught splendidly on the wide long-on boundary! Hales is the catcher. The beauty of that catch was in the amount of ground Hales had to cover by running to his left from deep midwicket. He got there in time and took it on the edge of the boundary. Kohli had latched on to a short, slower ball and pulled it high over deep midwicket. He thought he had hit it into the gap, but Hales was too quick
V Kohli c Hales b Bresnan 15 (16b 3x4 0x6) SR: 93.75

[10sion]

91/8. 2 wickets maiden for Bopara

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bopara shattering stumps like Shoaib Akhtar )

 

[Statsman]

Hmmm, shouldn't very easy the wicket is tough to bat on. In fact it's horrible

Lucky England!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sir Ravendra strikes

 

[IgnitedMind]

Have a feeling that this will be a close contest!!

 

[IgnitedMind]

KP dropped !!

 

[IgnitedMind]

Hate the Switch hit. Its just not right!!

 

[Sherlock]

WOW, Kp just WOW.

 

[Sherlock]

40-2 Hale's gone.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Hales gone

40-2 England

 

[Bhaijaan]

Need to get rid off KP at the earliest

 

[IAJ]

Patel and Bopara will take them home if kp fails.

 

[IAJ]

Patel playing spinners easily.

 

[velu]

Raina should get some for dropping KP

 

[Sherlock]

Lol at the Indian crowd. Silent as ever when the opposition are doing good.

 

[IAJ]

Bring back spinners against Patel. He will handle them well.

 

[Statsman]

On the brighter side, its good to see Vinay getting tonked. Aaron should have played instead of him.

Yusuf Pathan looked clueless with the bat and has given away any last chance with his pies.

 

[TheHK16]

) indian crowd

 

[Statsman]

Sir Jadeja 4-1-9-1

 

[Bhaijaan]

KP is too much class for a low scoring affair

 

[Sherlock]

chill out freelance, it isn't as if rankings are up for grabs.......oh wait, lol.

 

[Gujar]

The BCCI really needs to get Vinay Kumar's house raided and confiscate those compromising photos he has of Dhoni.

 

[Sherlock]

Seriously, are they playing the game behind closed doors...?

 

[ethan hunt]

lol, how slow is vinay kumar , pietersen had half an hour to decide what to do with the ball , in the end he just deposits it over midwicket for a

 

[Sherlock]

I thought it was a slower ball.

 

[Bhaijaan]

KP out, let there be choke !

 

[Sherlock]

Hahaha, the crowd coming back.
