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

[Hamxa89]

Again 2.5m law come to play, its not like India got unlucky here because of 3rd umpire error.

Finally some sense prevailing here.

 

[malakian]

Strauss, amazing knock.

 

[ads101]

best strauss ODI innings ever. Well done Strauss.

 

[tauseefm]

DISTANCE from the WICKET was too much guys. The hawkeye is a PREDICTION of the balls trajectory!!!

Hence the doubt. Hence the decision in batsman favor. SIMPLE

lol its not that simple. I have seen players have been given out to a fast bowler when they are standing a foot outside the crease. This is pure pathetic 2.5 m rule.

 

[pakcricketfan]

100 up for Strauss! Whatta knock!

 

[James]

absolutely fantastic hundred, his best ever knock in ODIs. but job only half done

 

[KingKhanWC]

Well Played Strauss, what a superb skippers knock.

 

[imshally81]

100 up

 

[12cavalry]

Good solid batting from Strauss.

 

[Romali_rotti]

STrauss gets his 100 well played and possibly won the game for Eng hopefully with a bit more help from Billy as well..

 

[Fallen King]

^ I am watching it currently LIVE. I am appalled by the decision that still remain NOT OUT.

However, Indian shouldn't complain about the system considering that original decision was still not out, and they don't need review system, but this shocker decision isn't gonna be pretty picture for a while. Feel bad for Indian team. I guess we are learning new cricket language every day, for example; 2.5m or something. That's start.

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Brilliant knock by Straussy, what a legend. Now score 50 more.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeezesque shot from Bell, who's had a life. Crowd has gone silent. )

 

[malakian]

The crowd has gone seriously silent

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 for Bell

England is doing it so nicely now. Are we doomed?

 

[Sledger]

Pin drop silence. )

 

[KingKhanWC]

8 iron by Bell, another great shot using his feet.

 

[USaqaf]

If India can still pull off a victory after these incidents(strauss nick not noticed by players and umps, then this LBW decision) it will give a big boost for the entire team.

Strauss wicket is the key between India win or Loss

Nah Strauss has done his job, if you know ODI trends , you need rotaters of the strike at the end who can keep chipping in.
The bulwark of runs are on the board, Strauss can go now and it wont make a difference.

 

[mrk]

157 from 22 overs. Its England match if they dont get out on stupid shoots.

 

[Express Pace]

Quality 100 from Strauss, England going very well.

 

[shan]

err ..you need to read the rule book.

hint : its alright if its pitched outside the off stump line

And you need to read about 2.5m law when it comes to DRS. Its been there since forever but Indian fans will learn now after this.

 

[James]

STrauss gets his 100 well played and possibly won the game for Eng hopefully with a bit more help from Billy as well..

you guys should have appealed for the Strauss caught behind unbelievable stuff from umpires and Indian team there

 

[Amjid Javed]

100 for strauss! excellent knock so far!

hes been transformed as an ODI player.

 

[Sledger]

Better than s?

 

[ZenBowman]

England batting very well, if a wicket isn't taken soon they could easily take the game away....

 

[cricketpassion]

Another :4

 

[Sir john]

100 for strauss

 

[Sledger]

Another four.

 

[Express Pace]

4444444444444444444444 Yuvi with look of bemusement.

 

[12cavalry]

This is so esweet

 

[Sam Zaffar]

Required RR in Control. I pray that they keep it under 8 from last 10 overs

 

[Vegitto1]

Wth...it pitched outside the line.

Ppl need to wake up!

Ball pitching off-side:

1. Can pitch outside the line
2. Must hit batsman in-line unless the batsman offers no shot
3. Must go on to hit the stumps.

Ball pitching leg-side:

1. Must pitch inside the line
2. Must hit batsman in line
3. Must hit the stumps

 

[Fallen King]

That was fine century especially in under pressure despite of few lucks he has had, but it's not easy to score century especially when chasing, taking the pressure off to maintain the steady run rate up to keep the match alive, and most importantly, playing as captain which is even harder.

 

[Express Pace]

Runs coming very easily

 

[Hamxa89]

And you need to read about 2.5m law when it comes to DRS. Its been there since forever but Indian fans will learn now after this.

Apparently they wont. Not even a few PPers here. So hence, let them be bro.

 

[jusarrived]

Better than s?

by a long distance . Chasing 340 scoring runs is doubly difficult .

 

[Sledger]

India should borrow some bowlers from Canada.. or perhaps Kenya will give them a few if they ask nicely.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Not belittling English batsmen but our bowlers are leaking runs from left, right and center(or every corner u name it)

 

[Sledger]

Just 150 needed. 8 wickets in the tank.

 

[Levity]

I don't know how these umpires sleep at night.

 

[Sledger]

Not belittling English batsmen but or bowlers are leaking runs from left, right and center(or every corner u name it)

I agree. England have played well but this Indian bowling is seriously poor.

 

[ads101]

Sham Ashwin hasn't played. He's been a very good spinner ever since he started. Best spinner in the team currently. Don't think he should have been left out.

 

[Sam Zaffar]

India in trouble because they don't have a good 5th bowler.


anyways there all bowlers are crap.

 

[Express Pace]

We will be donating Rana to India.

 

[Amjid Javed]

England giving this target a right go!

 

[SOSami]

Well played Strauss. Turned into a top ODI player over the last year or two. Top 100.

 

[jusarrived]

And you need to read about 2.5m law when it comes to DRS. Its been there since forever but Indian fans will learn now after this.

was I even talking about DRS there ?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Seriously even with that shocking decision if they cant defend 340 at home well then they dont deserve to win this........

 

[James]

Better than s?

Already is, and will be one of the best England ODI innings ever (no joke) if we win

 

[CricnPak]

ENG can control the game if they take the PP within the next 10 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Should promote the Bresnaaaaan if a wicket falls.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Zak into the attack now

 

[Fallen King]

After Pakistan-Sri Lanka match, this match can be nail bitter, but too bad, i won't be able to watch it completely. Need few hours sleep before i wake up to attend personal reasons.

 

[Slickman]

india bowling is shocking what do they want their batsmen to score 400 pathetic stuff, on another note well done england.

 

[Munna]

zaheer khan ke nannay bharam

 

[malakian]

Zaheer could easily grab a wicket here...need to be careful.

 

[MC]

You can really see that as a captain, Strauss' really batting his heart out for a win.

 

[Sledger]

Oh noez.. the great and incredible Zaheer back with his 70mph killer yorkers.

 

[Munna]

... remembering

 

[Sam Zaffar]

Do you think India can Win the WC with this Bowling line-up. They even couldn't control Bangla to score 270+

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Eng should win this.....

And if they do what a win! Just keep their cool, Ind look flat.

 

[12cavalry]

Wasim and Zaheer should not be mentioned in one sentence

 

[pakcricketfan]

absolutely fantastic hundred, his best ever knock in ODIs. but job only half done

True that! I'd love to see him win the match for England. That would be truly awesome.

 

[Sledger]

2 dots, no need to panic.

 

[ads101]

Well played Strauss. Turned into a top ODI player over the last year or two. Top 100.

what a compliment ). Top 100

 

[Sledger]

3 dots.

 

[Sledger]

Nice drive, just a single.

 

[Munna]

149 needed from 20 overs ...

very possible with some good one day men still waiting in their batting order

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Good over by Zaheer Khan

 

[Vegitto1]

If Razzaq runs in as hard as Zaheer does, he can easily bowl 90+mph
lol

 

[Munna]

edged and

 

[Sledger]

Edged for four. 196/2.

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 for bell through a streaky shot

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[KingKhanWC]

Quote of the decade

Ganguly " Dot ball gets the Indian crowd going"

143 off 20 overs, walk in the park

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

edged for 4, poor zaheer

 

[Romali_rotti]

Already is, and will be one of the best England ODI innings ever (no joke) if we win

I seriously hope you win (NO JOKE) the way you played so far has been inspiring and if India cant fricken defend 340 at home they shouldnt be even competing in this tournament... India wont score 300 plus every game and if not today well then tommorow we will get found out so screw INDIA (Although if miraculously we win the WC, I will take it lol).....

 

[Sam Zaffar]

143 Runs needed of 120 balls.

Time for Some T20 cricket now.

Should take PP now.

England have Prior to Hit at the End.

 

[Bhaijaan]

England are in the driver's seat right now, should win this now.

140 from 120 with 8 wickets in hand and two in form batsmen at crease.
