    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    I guess you can get a ticket for 10 quid at St John's Wood Tube Station.

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    If England manage to not lose any wickets until the new ball, they will be quite happy, totally regardless of the number of runs scored. So far England have survived the first hour, adding 35 runs. Today the feeling of the occasion has changed from massive advantage for India, to big advantage...

    Not as incredible as the missed run-out chance!

    What exactly is Anderson accused off? Physical contact, is what I read, but that's a bit vague. A pat on the shoulder is physical contact too!

    Maybe this is a silly question, but I do remember Praveen Kumar doing OK last time India were touring England. What happened to him?

    TBH, his captaincy hasn't been that bad this Test.

    3rd place playoff - Brazil vs Netherlands

    Initially Van Gaal tried Janmaat (not that bad imho), and later even Paul Verhaegh (uggghhhhh). Dirk Kuijt was a plan B. The original idea was to use Gregory van der Wiel (Paris Saint Germain), but he's injured.

    I keep forgetting you're an England supporter ;) . TBH, I didn't have DRS in my mind at all when writing that down. Nobody would have complained if it hadn't been given. Anyway, a right decision is a good decision, I guess.

    A very good decision? Or a bit of a gamble that simply came out right? I was with Strauss here, and figured it pitched outside leg, watching it live.

    What to make of the run rate? Last 10 overs went for 66 runs...

    Well......., India suddenly struggling here. Odds shift from draw to England win. .................Not even thinking about watching that............................ Such matches shouldn't even exist.

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Now that the WC is over (for me it is), I can return back to business as usual: Proper Test Cricket! I haven't seen a single ball yesterday. Yet, it didn't take too much time to find out the pitch was really nice to bat on. So, how come only 259 runs were scored in the day?

    Semi final 1: Brazil vs Germany

    Well, I have to disgaree here! My opinion: Punishing utterly crap defending is good. But it is most defenitely not excellent. What makes you think the German performance was a form of excellence, if I may ask?

    FIFA World Rankings - They're really quite crap did you know?

    Well, I've done that exactly, just prior to the WC group lottery, when I find out that we (NL) were not seeded in the top 8, and would consequently lose our position as group head. -First clue is, as lame as it may be, what several have stated: there always seem to be utterly crap teams in the...

    Semi final 1: Brazil vs Germany

    And after a good night's sleep, I'm even more puzzled.......... That was by far the worst defending I've seen all tournament. It's quite unbelievable. After rewatching the first half hour, I simply cannot come to the conclusion the Germans put down a brilliant performance. It wasn't great...

    Semi final 1: Brazil vs Germany

    Try to find some footage of the 1974 WC. You'll be amazed about the ridiculous number of really bad Brazilian fouls. The much applauded Dutch team of 1974 weren't exactly a bunchof choir boys either. We simply tend to romanticise the past.
