crandon goes...102/8

is india in with a chance. aussies seem to be choking

would probably have to win this one in 20-25 overs though

by Ash Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:05

129 all out TO? cricinfo ist kaput

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:07

Shame none of them can bat as a score of 200/220 would have been extremely competitive.

Still it could be fun watching Kemar Roach in a few minutes, the fastest bowler in this tournament so far.

by The One Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:24

lol! all over for india. their crap record in recent icc tournaments continues. since 2003 we have gone past the 1st round only once in 6 tries

by Ash Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:26

but made it count...i'll take that strike rate

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:26

Unlucky. At least Pakistan gave their all, they can't be blamed for India's exit.

by Ash Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:29

so of 12 first round matches, only half a match turned out to be completely meaningless. the format is spot on. should maybe have reserve days though.

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:30

Bowled him...bit unlucky for the batsman but intimidating stuff from Roach.

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:37

152.7kph!!!!!!

by Ash Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:42

and hes only just turned 21, nice find for WI

by Merlin Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:43

Come on you WIndies ... get stuck into BanIndia. boxer

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 16:46

And Reifer takes him off and brings on Sammy and his wobblers..... oh joy!

by holcs Wed 30 Sep 2009, 18:37

Looks like he's hobbling a bit, but jeez he looked sharp.

Get him in instead of Powell and that be nice with Fissy and Jerome!

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 18:40

Yep it seems a no-brainer to me. The attack for Australia should be:

Edwards
Taylor
Roach
Bravo
Miller

Reserves:

Tonge
Rampaul
Sammy

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 18:44

Btw it's been a poor innings by Kartik who has played and missed at about 20 balls of his 65 so far.

Surely not the answer as an Indian opening batsman?

by furriner Wed 30 Sep 2009, 18:45

^^ Nope.

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 19:04

Urgh... an appropriate way for a dreadful innings to come to an end. God knows how he lasted so long at the crease.

by doremi Wed 30 Sep 2009, 19:11

If we knew that and could teach it to Rohit Sharma, it would be perfect.

Oh well, this tournament turned out very unlucky in some ways. But not totally unexpected.

Overheard a few choice Pak bashing abuses today after they lost. Was pretty entertaining Very Happy

by WIFAN Wed 30 Sep 2009, 19:23

1 run to win and Reifer has a man at long on, long of, deep midwicket etc etc.

What an inspirational leader he has proven to be....
