Even with wickets in hand it is going to be hard to score another 190 runs in 23 overs.
Anderson used to be such an economical bowler...doesn't seem to be so these days...
Sachin = Giggs
With the likes of Pathan, Dhoni and co. I wouldnt bet against it. There's the batting powerplay there as well and there's no bowler who's remotely looked effective.
Yeah, Tendulkar and Gambhir easily getting 6+ an over right now without actually going for it.
He needs favourable conditions. He was always going to be a liability on Sub-Continent pitches.
I was thinking exactly the same thing...unstoppable and age has hardly blunted his ability...
I could be well wrong with that because I havent seen much of Yuvraj's bowling. Anyway, dont think his batting will be needed anyway. He can just breeze through with the others performing as well as they are.
Most apt cross sport comparison.
Sachin is in cracking touch now.
Gautam gone!
Good one by Swann, gambhir done in.
Damn a good partnership has been broken.
Oooooh Yuvraj has been thrown in here to sink or swim.
gtf in...errr...who's next...
Their characters are also comparable...
Good move, if he is going to be valuable this tournament, he needs chances like this to regain his form early.
Yuvraj in. Perfect time for him to regain some touch. Or get dropped for Raina.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
Kohli should have come in next...
It is not a good time for Yuvraj to come in. Kohli should have come in to stabilize the innings till like the 40th over and then Dhoni and Yuvraj could come here and blast the bowling.
Kohli's not a big hitter. I think with 9 wickets in hand, we could start hitting in another 3 overs.
Dhoni likes taking the batting powerplay after 34 overs when the new ball's in. All things considered, Yuvraj's the best choice, IMO.

Anderson has been really expensive today. In 7 overs, he has conceded 59 runs.
I've been saying that all along Sachin is the closest cricket can come to having a Giggs
He lacks confidence...
Exactly, since Kohli is not a big hitter it would have been better for him to come in. We could have saved the big hitters for the last 12-15 overs.
Giggs is the closest thing football can have to come close to Sachin.
They must have started their careers at a similar age? Tandulkar perhaps a couple of years ahead? Wasn't he playing international cricket at 16 or something?
Yeah he started playing for India when he was only 16. He has been playing for 21 years now.
100 for Tendulkar. Well played, nice well paced innings.
Fantastic from Sachin, greatest cricketer I have seen.
India could get 320+, wickets in hand and some big hitters still to come.

Very nice Sachin. 47th ODI century - absolutely staggering!
Mt stream is pants...it keeps going down...
Bresnan has been their pick of the bowlers. He has been the most economical.
That opener ain't bad is he?
Tendulkar gone.
Tendulkar is out as well. Hope Kohli and Yuvraj could keep going until the 42nd over at least. Then Dhoni can come in and take over.
Thank goodness for that, i thought he was gonna be in there all day. Too late though, i can still see India getting close to 350.
I guess I was wrong twice. Dhoni instead of Kohli.
Time for strauss to quickly pace through a few overs with some spinners.
United Chavski preview....
Absolutely. they have time and again managed to go past the extreme.
