Yeah, but that's also partly because the difference in quality between the Indian attack and batting lineup is absolutely comical.350+ was a statistical anomaly even in India in the last decade, it is now par minimum.

I guess Parnell's 6.35 is not there as he has only played 11 ODIsAfter today's game, Sreesanth has an economy rate over 6, the highest among all ODI bowlers. The guy is such a joke in ODI's; the South Africans will have done us a big favour if he is now out of World Cup contention. Though of course, Ishant and Nehra don't inspire much confidence either. We have to try out more medium pacers and hope one of them clicks by the World Cup.
I call BS.ODI is almost ruined because of Twenty20. Its like watching 2 twenty twenty matches with almost same scoring rate as that.
The ICC should seriously consider reducing the powerplays to only 5 overs instead of 20 overs to restore some sanity to the proceedings. The way its going, i would not be surprised if some team is going to make 500 in an innings against minnows in world cup. what a farce ODI's had become because of Twenty20.
Yes, good idea.ODI is almost ruined because of Twenty20. Its like watching 2 twenty twenty matches with almost same scoring rate as that.

Crowd would reject it. Already 20-34 overs are dreary and this will only make it extent it to 5-34.Yes, good idea.
Yeah indeed, and two close catchers. I think it'd really make for an entertaining game while the quicks were bowling as the bowlers would still have a great reason to attack and go for wickets throughout the whole innings. It's really hard for spinners to bowl to such fields though and their boundary-riders are often "attacking" as such anyway as they take catches.The same, two men outside the circle restiction?
Yeah agreed. It could probably that Abe De Villiers scored when it mattered little to the team from a series point of view. Nah, I am just making up excuses.How did Sachin get MOTS over AB or even Kallis? He missed the last game and only performed in the second. Stupid.
lol.. welcome to hero worshipping in India.. AB, Kallis and heck, even Jadeja would have been a good shout in a bat dominated series...How did Sachin get MOTS over AB or even Kallis? He missed the last game and only performed in the second. Stupid.
They are not the ones who should be selecting the MoS though... If they want Sachin to be the face of the thing, sign a bloody endorsement deal. Don't mock the concept of a Man of the Series..From the marketing PoV, For Volvo giving its S80 sedan to Tendulkar makes sense as now its flag ship sedan is associated with a guy becoming MoS for scoring the first double in the history of ODIs and on top of that the guy happens to be Tendulkar! .... I can't think of a better way to score points for a brand in India!
I am talking from a marketing perspective as to how mouth-watering deal it is for them to have Sachin as MoSThey are not the ones who should be selecting the MoS though... If they want Sachin to be the face of the thing, sign a bloody endorsement deal. Don't mock the concept of a Man of the Series..
