India v England | WC'11 | Group B | Bangalore | 27/02/11

[Sledger]

My fav England player got out early otherwise they could have spanked India badly here. Im pretty sure Pietorson could have smashed Chawla everywhere.

He has struggled against Chawla in the past.

 

[saj001]

De ghuma keee 4 more i think the total is just too big

 

[malakian]

Still India's to lose.

 

[MC]

England will miss Eoin Morgan's services today.

He wasn't impressive in the ODI against Australia.

So I doubt if England will really miss and out of form Morgan. An in form Bopara can also score 30 odd runs for an out of form Morgan.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Strauss looks ominous

 

[Sir john]

ENG 149/2 (23.0 Ovs)


190 in 162

 

[mithun_minhas]

India needs to get Strauss out..

Otherwise, they are a toast!!

 

[Sir john]

150 up for eng

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yusuf into the attack

 

[KingKhanWC]

Get to 20 overs needing 150 with 8 wickets, should be easy on this track with against this average bowling attack.

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 more for Strauss

150 up for england

 

[Munna]

they shud score at the least 5 runs per over for the next 8-9 overs n then change the gears in the last 18-20

 

[Sledger]

Great batting again. Reverse swept for four. 150 up.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Zaheer Khan running backwards there.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dhoni need to get the quota of part timers completed as soon as possible

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

what a clever shot by Strauss. What a legend.

 

[James]

Strauss, highest score by an England captain in World Cup history

 

[Sledger]

Highest score by England captain in WC cricket.

 

[Rana]

TBH, england is going waaaaay better than i expected.

 

[Munna]

He wasn't impressive in the ODI against Australia.

So I doubt if England will really miss and out of form Morgan. An in form Bopara can also score 30 odd runs for an out of form Morgan.

on subcontinent pitches... i think morgan cud've been the klusener of 99'

 

[Sledger]

Strauss deserves a century here.

 

[Watsupdoc]

RRR around 7

 

[jusarrived]

Very smart batting here from Strauss , best innings so far in the world cup IMO

 

[BaaliSoda]

Strauss has the chance to even break the Sachin Highest Individual Runs in a ODI record today

 

[Munna]

Strauss, highest score by an England captain in World Cup history

gooch won't like this

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a knock by Strauss so far. 90 of 88 balls. Hope he scores 150+ today.

 

[Sledger]

"7 V Australia, 2007" makes it to his top scores list. Didn't broadcasters think that would look odd? )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good going by Strauss

Needs to keep it going!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson didn't make a century

 

[Sledger]

91*

 

[Sir john]

ENG 156/2 (24.0 Ovs)

183 in 156

 

[Romali_rotti]

I am feeling a tad bit nervus for my liking, Strauss keeps taking an easy boundary every over it seemms.

 

[Sir john]

eng on top now

 

[Sledger]

Bowling second is going to be a worry for India in this WC. Toss bullies.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 to Bell

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bell looking good too but didn't connect.

 

[BaaliSoda]

What a poor camera work by ESPN Star

Ball is going to Chennai and they are focusing on punjab

 

[James]

Very smart batting here from Strauss , best innings so far in the world cup IMO

agreed!

 

[hussnainn]

Mein ne peechay kiya tha

 

[Munna]

more to bell

 

[Sledger]

Great shot!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bell

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bell can't afford to play a Silva like innings.

 

[cricketpassion]

::4

 

[shahid afr3d]

Strauss looking good but the rest of the batting seems a little flimsy. Bell and Collingwood will need to each make 50s if they are to have a chance

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bell's turn to kill the spinner

4 for him

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[sada90]

boundary ....

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot Bell! Out of the MCC coaching manual.

 

[Munna]

keep the same flow of runs coming ... don't get out .. n ur through with colly, prior, and yardy

 

[sada90]

Go england

 

[Sledger]

Bell doing a lot better than I thought here, still think he'll let the pressure get to him when it gets closer though.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Review asked by Dhoni

 

[Sledger]

Reviewed lbw.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Outside the line.

 

[jusarrived]

that looked out to me

 

[BaaliSoda]

That looked outside off stump to me

May be on a second thought it looks quite closer than it appeared earlier

 

[Sledger]

I think he's quite far down the wicket, but it did look sort of close.

 

[Munna]

indians are going after bowden ..
hez backing off

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That looks close!

 

[shahid afr3d]

Strauss should make 130-140 runs at least

 

[Sledger]

Ooh..

 

[Sledger]

This is going to be out?

 

[Munna]

thats im afraid

 

[Sledger]

Bell survives.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not Out is the decision!

 

[Watsupdoc]

This isn't fair. India shouldn't be aloud to review

 

[KingKhanWC]

More than 2.5 metres.Nice stretch by Bell, come back lad.

 

[CricnPak]

That's BS..how much more of the ball do you want the ball to hit the wickets?

 

[ads101]

er how was that not out?

 

[Sledger]

What? That was plumb..

 

[Munna]

... not out????
wow thats a brave decision

 

[cricketpassion]

yes that not out

 

[jusarrived]

wow

 

[James]

I wanted 150 for minimal loss after 25 overs, more of a dream than a realistic aim, and I've got 163/2. wow, can't believe it.

Bell's ODI sweep shot gets him out time and time again. does my head in. be careful, lad. got seriously lucky there. Strauss and Bell have already been out once each.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bell lives to fight another day

 

[iZeeshan]

wth!? how is that not out!?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Strauss not getting support from anyone, this is just sad. Feel so sorry for the captain.

 

[ads101]

could someone explain why he's not out, and the 2.5 thing they're talking about. I don't get it.

 

[jusarrived]

Seriously thats pathetic
