What do you guys make of the confrontation between Warner & Rohit? Was Rohit right in going for a run?

Yes, it didn't him, and even if it did he's still entitled to go for it, even if its a bit cheap.

As for what Warner did, I don't know why he always feels the need to get involved, but if Rohit was actually shouting at him in Hindi then I think its understandable he told him to speak English (if he was already speaking English, however, and Warner was just being a dick (or worse) then thats a whole different story).
 
I thought it was a replay of Kohli wicket :lol:
 
Another collapse :lol:
And the experts were talking about defending the WC that too outside the subcontinent. Most of the players cant even play outside.

Nope. The new format is designed exactly to ensure it doesn't happen again. It will change next world cup but still will be easy enough for big nations. The other 3 'big' in India's group are SA, WI and Pak. India will finish 2nd or 3rd at worst. Then it is knockouts. I am expecting India to make semis.
 
Anderson and Finn's combined figures: 16.3-2-51-9.
 
Some of Ravi Shastri's comments are hilarious.

(Paraphrasing a bit here)

"This is a bullet side, mark my words"
"I guarantee you that India will win 3 world cups under Dhoni's captaincy"
"Scorelines do not matter, this side showed more attitude than any previous side in Australia"

The solution to India's problems was to challenge the authority of an idiot (Fletcher) with a bigger idiot in Shastri. Well, done to all involved. BCCI has outdone itself again.

Probably one of the worst things about Indian cricket is experts like you who turn up after watching highlights packages on NDTV for 25 seconds to give their opinion on things they have no clue about.

Highlight packages or not, a collapse will remain a collapse. One doesn't need to be an expert to notice that.

It was the bowling that let us down (as always). The batting was more than capable out there in Australia.
 
fecking hell we're awful. Finding it really really hard to get excited about the world cup now
 
It will be a travesty if this India team miraculously wins world cup by the '3 good days' theory :rolleyes:
 
Feck sake. Come on England. It's only 200 and bloody Binny got 3 wickets :lol:
 
Great nut from Johnson to Ali.

Edit: Ha! And a even better one to Morgan.

Awesome stuff from Johnson. Sad he held back a bit in test series and pitches were unhelpful to add to that.
 
I can't work out whether Bopara is timing this well to get within a hundred and then blitz or if he's being spineless and playing for his average.

He's probably going to fail either way knowing him.
 
And there we go.

Drop him for a real batsman if he's not gonna bowl plox.
 
What a strange innings by Bopara. Anyway Australia looking like a quality side. Drop Bailey and bring in Watson. Ridiculous depth in batting and bowling.

How do they fit Watson and Clarke into this?

Thing with the Australian team is, I feel like they're all high quality, but of equal skill. There isn't one extra special player -- all of them are very good.

I rate Mitch Marsh very highly. Think he's got something extra.
 
They have Faulkner coming in at #8. That's just ridiculous
