Fans should put pressure on the media. Very least, will light a fire up his bum.
Windies chasing how India should have chased yesterday
Not going to be dropped at this world cup. That's the reality.
Who knew showing bit of intent and not playing like cowards could help!
Knowing WI though, they will crash and burn in the 48th over. 315 all out.
He still gets the loudest cheer along with Kohli at grounds. Whatever happens in this World Cup, he’s done. So India have to suffer it and hope he won’t have to be relied on to do the job
Would rather take that instead of saving five wickets till the end.
What's wrong with people?!
How he reconciles that message with all the ball tampering he did, remains to be seen
Pooran sacrificed Allen for that 100
Allen sacrificed himself for that 100.
Rihanna didn't sacrifice a selfie to watch Pooran get that 100.
Perera 
No insults for Rihanna will be entertained here, you brinjal.
Exciting end to this match. Come on Windies!
Nice
Feck
Pooran out
Just the absolute rotten luck. Blame this on @coolredwine , the ultimate red shoe plonker
Ah, I don't think the Windies are going to get there...
The mans a tank, I’d almost give him a spot in the team purely for his fielding some days.
I bet if you were playing a more physical game like rugby or even football he’d be a right bastard too, just get that vibe he’d be the type to try and leave one on you
If the pitch is the same, meaning one side shorter boundary again, then we will drop a spinner for sure if Bhuvi is fit.
Good to see a country actually making an attempt to chase down a target.
To rub it in a bit, a bunch of countries united just because of cricket made an attempt to chase
Hey don't blame me if your lads are bottlers.
He’s right, they should investigate how much Pakistan paid Gulbadin
Probably less than what england paid kohli and dhoni.
That was a joke I would like to add in case anyone didn’t get it.

Oh dear, touchy in the subject are we. Are you agreeing with Waqars comments then?
No joke away mate, I was merely asking.
India definitely threw that match. Only logical conclusion IMO. Whether Waqar of all people should be stating it is a different topic of question but if I was Indian, I'd be embarrassed after that game.
India throwing the match doesn't make sense considering facing a rejuvenated england would be much tough than a rejuvenated Pakistan in semifinals. I agree that India's strategy was bad and had no proper planning. Frustrating Loss.
To be honest India only threw that match because of Bairstow's comments pre-game. No wonder Dhoni couldn't cope towards the end. Only logical conclusion IMO.
I completely agree with that assessment but it can be the only explanation for what we saw the other day - it was downright bizarre to think that was India being serious about a run chase. The merits of taking such a course of action are very questionable as I am sure majority of us agree that you'd rather leave Pakistan in the competition from an Indian perspective but there is no doubt that match was thrown. I think the NRR factor might have played a role in ensuring India secures a safe passage through or maybe the sheer hatred of Pakistan came into the decision making.. but whatever it was, no way did India try their best in that game towards the end.
No Doubt?! I mean surely there has to be a little doubt since they just finished 30 runs behind.
Also India were pretty much on track with England's score until Pandya got out. The game got away from India towards the end because the players left remaining weren't good enough not because there is absolutely no doubt they decided to collectively get together and throw the match away.
If we actually did that ( which I seriously doubt) then we are stupid to so such petty thing considering beating england would be much tough. I think it was more to do with a stupid planning which backfired.
And also we have to give credit england especially the innings by their openers which was breathtaking so it is wrong to not give them credit and say India threw away the match.
Not if India threw the match away. Kohli might be counting all the cash right now for losing and know that his team would have chased down 338 quite easily despite it being around 50 runs more than any other ODI chase in Edgbaston's history and the fact that England have won their last 10 matches there.
