I wonder what the pitch was like because India wernt to crash hot in the batting department either.

[aussief1 4]

India did make hard work of getting the 125 runs set by England. Only Tendulkar & Singh stood up and contributed.

Are you going to any of the matches Cav???

Cricket news:

Pakistan have withdrawn fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif from the Champions Trophy in India after testing positive for nandrolone.

The tests were carried out by the Pakistan Cricket Board three weeks ago and showed positive results for the performance-enhancing steroid. They are Pakistan's best new-ball bowlers but face bans of up to two years if the second test is confirmed.

Am in Oz for another month. Frankly I probably wouldn't even if I was home, I'm not that big a cricket fan.

As for the drug matter, really stupid I agree. What were they thinking?

No offense meant to the Pommies in this forum , but I think the England team shouldn't be allowed to play ODIs. They have a cavalier attitude towards ODIs & don't give a damn about the result.

Yeah, I know, India is hopeless in ODIs as well, but hell at least they give the impression of struggling!

The pitch is being reported to be very similiar to a Australian pitch, so that should favour us.

I'm glad West-Indies trashed our team, the sooner we let go of that moronic captain and coach, the better....

I would'nt be so sure of an Aussie win, the West indies team has a knack of winning againts the Aussieteam...

Does a cricket match really take three days? How do you maintain interest over the course of the match?

There are 3 types o cricket matches. 1 is called a test match which ussually lasts for 5 days.

2. it is called the One Day International(ODI) this is a 50 over atch per team. this is the one most poepl watch and it is te one we are talking about(this is usuually about a day)

the third type is 20/20. This is a fairly new type of play which is only 20 over long( this will be played for only 1.5 hrs)

I like odi's the best. aven't watched a 20/20 but test matches i just look at the end result after each day rather than watch the mathc.
