I know but that's the sport. I don't agree that the umpires should be rewarded for bad mistakes but that's the way it is.
Yeah I think the punishment is fair.
Cheers.
Indeed, it was just brilliant. There was just something about it that made cricket even better, sky coverage is just meh imo.
Ashes series was just different class.
In the words of Geoffrey Boycott, bad luck you Aussies!
Agreed... I like Sky Sports, but C4's coverage was fantastic.
Whoopee, it's going to be on C4!
Kettlebot is the Billy Bowden of this era.
Why were all those indian/pakistani descent british citizens supporting england when they weren't earlier on ?
They shouldn't be supporting India/pakistan against england. Flip flops

Do you know them personally?
Because we have ties to two nations. In my case Bangladesh and England.
Quite. I've seen quite a few folk going to England ODI's wearing half and half shirts making their dual cricket loyalty to England/India or England/Pakistan very clear. It's not a rare thing at all.
No. Embrace the truth. It will set you free
Especially somewhere like Birmingham which is around 25% Asian, many of them multi generation who could understandably identify with both countries.
I support the West Indians even though I dont have a drop of WI blood in me... except maybe in the right places.

I hope you get your ass checked out, it should not be bleeding.
why can't they support whoever they like?
It's pragmatic too, you get two shots at glory.
Also, heard England's captain on the radio earlier and he's Irish
As a British Indian I get behind England/Britain in every sport, even if I don’t watch that sport I’d want them to win. Cricket is just one sport I can’t get behind them, I just don’t like them for some reason. I even prefer the Aussies
I've been wanting both to do well from the start, don't see why it's an issue.
I quite like this cricket team, they play cricket how I prefer. It's the opposite for me I can't actually stand the football team
seriously?Definitely isn’t, not unusual for people to have a “2nd” team when theirs goes out of a tournament.
Difficult not to like this aggressive, fearless England team who are chasing that elusive 1st World Cup win.
Dharmasena gets the final

Welcome brother. There’s always room on the West Indies bandwagon. All aboard to misery and anger
Dharmasena gets the final
Joke
Wow, unbelievable.Dharmasena gets the final
Surely only cricket is daft enough to clash the World Cup final in England with not only one, but two 'crown jewel' events in the Wimbledon final AND the British Grand Prix?
So yay, crickets triumphant return to FTA TV sees half the match on More4 because Channel 4 can't shift the F1 coverage even if they wanted to...

Should have timed it for Saturday, just poor planning
Eh, not sure. Saturday is league cricket day so a lot of your interested audience will be playing.
Just start the tournament a week later. Would have solved the problem with India, too.
I can't get over the loss.
If Roy and Bairstow can do what they've done for the last 3 games I think England should win. However with England there's always going to be few hiccups. Although I guess I thought that yesterday and it went as plain-sailing as it possibly could have.
As a 26 year old he's entering his prime so this is a good decision.
Dharmasena getting the final is a complete joke.
His decision to give Roy out was just atrocious, luckily it didn't really matter in the end, although it denied Roy a certain century in a World Cup semi final and chances like that don't come along often.
However on Sunday one of his usual feckups might cost England or New Zealand the game. Is there nobody else?
We seem to always be stuck with him too.

Please stop posting clips and posts about our semi final loss to New Zealand. It's hurtful and I ask you to be considerate of our feelings. Thanks for your support @Di Maria's angel
Its not the military it's a sport. Who cares who anyone supporters and flip flops. Besides , nothing wrong with having a secondary team
