It's amazing how badly the Aussies standards have dropped. The bowling is average at best, and their batting is woeful. They haven't got a spinner and their only class batsman is injured. Can't see them winning a game in this tournament.
Well, it looks like it will take a miracle for Pakistan to get through now. India had a convincing win today against the Windies which puts them through to the next round.
I have a feeling that South Africa will bounce back if some of their key players can be fit enough to play in time.
What a day at the oval today, not great on weather front. With the occasional showers but lovely day out for me and the oh and f&f
Wicked game
Dhawan and Jadeja done so damn well
And a mention for sammy he done well for the indies
Dhawan is coming into his own as an opener perfect replacement for sehwag
Cricket atmosphere is great
Loved it
Yes, it does like like this Indian team is performing really great at the moment. I think if they apply themselves & not get side tracked by the fame, glory, politics & other BS then they can really achieve great things for quite some time.
The only thing I would change is the complete removal of Ishant Sharma - the guy is a liability & always has been - just has no idea how to vary & adjust his bowling, lacks creativity, cannot adapt & cannot seem to bowl decent line & length in a consistent manner.
Damn, I thought England had the match in the bag but Sri Lanka's batting was just too good - Sangakarra scores 134 in a pressure cooker situation - what a class guy he is.
As much as I like SL, I really wanted England to win though!
No I am not, did have tickets, but had a party in the evening and wouldn't have made it back in time, and plus with Pakistan out, I'd rather give it a miss, I know Pakistan will go all out for the win, just pray dhawan plays a brilliant innings again for the indians
