21st Match - India v United Arab Emirates

[Pratters]

Good thing is we do have a long time before we get to the business end. Maybe time enough for Shami to recover. Also a good chance to check how Bhuvi is doing.

Enough time to have more players injured too. Last 12 or so days has seen two gone now. Ishant and now Shami possibly.

 

[Contra]

They said it wasn't too serious apparently, they are resting him just to be safe, if any I would want to see where Bhuvi is at, perfect chance to get him in and get some game time, if he's fit of course.

India has lost to Kenya, though not in a world cup. We have lost to quite a few 'minnows', so I hope we don't end up losing this some how.

India aren't losing today FFS.

They've been playing exceptionally well since the wc started

 

[Contra]

India chasing and playing Bhuvi, that's ideal for India.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bhuvi!

 

[NUFAN]

Karate chops that one off his legs.

 

[Flem274*]

The UAE appear to have a Mufasa down the order

This one looks over already.

This one looks over already.

Was probably over before it started.

So Ashwin finally gets a 4-fer in ODIs.

 

[ankitj]

Surprised to see Ashwin has never taken a 4-fer before.

 

[Contra]

Ripper from Yadav

Most boring game of the World Cup so far.

Fact that it is being played on the same day that we witnessed one of the best world cup games doesn't help.

It's 1:47 a.m. here, I don't know why I'm bothering to still watch this.

Shame for me being American, and working evenings (local time), I've gotten to sit down and watch a match 1-2 times per week. I end up with the boring stinkers. I sincerely wish I could catch something interesting.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Score?

 

[Contra]

Score?

UAE 102 all out.

 

[OverratedSanity]

These associates need to go

 

[Primrose_D12]

These associates need to go

They're not going to get any better by playing just each other.

Unless you want cricket to be a 10-team old boys' club forever.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

UAE 102 all out.

Looks like England will need to try harder to secure the lowest score of the tournament then.

 

[Contra]

If India lose a wicket they should send Jadeja next, guy needs game time and this game is done anyways.
