What a game!

YAY INDIA WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a superb game that was, first from England with Trescothick, then from India and Agarkar and Khan bowling great at the death. Yuvraj Singh and his 3 wickets, Kirtly's catch, Irani got decked, then Sehwag's brilliant innings, then that run chase and Dravid and Yuvraj made it!!!

WELL DONE INDIA!!!!!!!

Yup Congrats to India on a real good game and win.

I was watching the game... on the net :-( and i must say it kept me on the edge of my seat right till the end.

Indian bowlers did do well in keeping them from scoring at the death as you mentioned but we didnt do well bowling at the start , well i guess both the teams bowlers got hammered.

India Play Sri Lanka tonight and im sure it will be a real intersting game , although i feel India might win tonights game, but as Neil Suggested earlier im not a good gambler :P

As I mentioned on CG.com, I bet on India to win this match, and the series, my only disappointment was that Dravid hit the runs in the 49th over. I had very good odds on Yuvraj to top score, and it was close to coming off...

I wish they had that game on Foxtel :rolleyes:

Yup congrats to India again on Beating Sri lanka too, they played goood cricket , but the bowlers should try and bowl accurate so as their rate per over is lower , good job agarkar on taking 3 wickets , good batting

It was, d00d. I watched part of it at my Dad's place. The England innings anyway.

masterblaster · 30-06-2002, 08:41 PM

haha, yeah Agemaster, see India is playing quite well! Im also a regular writer here now. I think it was a bit unfair I got banned from Cricketgames, but those are the brakes. India have played superbly, and both matches were Live on Foxtel, I watched them both, although the India and England one started at 9:30pm Melbourne Time.

I wasn't sure who I wanted to win but am very glad India did...I think they'll go all the way.

What about you??

masterblaster · 30-06-2002, 09:22 PM

I sure hope so, Ive believed in their talent for a looooong time and its just about the right time before the World Cup to show the world that India can be a dominating force in International Cricket

Can't wait to see them play the Aussies!!
