unbelievable
100 overs of scintillating ODI cricket and the scores are level! That’s what World Cup cricket is about!
Strauss’s innings must rank as the best England ODI innings after Gooch’s World Cup 115 in 1983
Fourth tied game in World Cup history.
Winston and Puma , hell this was great, even if i had to talk to myself. This Sunday afternoon had two of the best games this week. Running them simultaneously was great fun.
Breathless stuff, this game has twisted one way and another and again and another before ending up even. Ian Bell’s Powerplay shot? India fluffing their last few overs with the bat? Misfields all round, all end up magnified…
@ superBul:347 – Super,
This must have been a brlliant game. Was out the whole day and only came back now. Turn on the tv to see England needing 11 runs to win. It ends on a draw. Must have been brilliant to watch.
@ superBul:349 – So wish I could have watched this game.
Can SA beat any of these teams? What is your thoughts Super?
@ superBul:348 – Would have really enjoyed to blog with you during this game boeta. I missed the whole damn thing. Been out the whole day today.
On an evening that simply beggared belief, England tied with India in an incredible finale in Bangalore. Andrew Strauss was England’s inspiration, producing an extraordinary 158 from 145 balls, the highest score by an English batsman in World Cup history, as England set off in pursuit of a vast 339 for victory, following a brilliant 120 from India’s legend Sachin Tendulkar.
StuartBroad8:
What a game! Half way point:- happy with tie, 10 overs to go:- disappointed with tie, 3 overs to go:- delighted with tie. Overall v happy
Anyhow, well done to England and India. Sounds like it was a cracker of game. Pity I missed it.
@ Puma:
Yes SA can match these guys, remember 438. This is still freaky, and England walk away with the psychological win, remember this was in India.
What is left to say about it really. India were a bowler short, England a batsmen short and in the end it balanced to a perfect equilibrium. Zaheer’s spell with the old ball in the batting Powerplay was remarkable. He is the absolute key to India’s World Cup, more than Sachin or Sehwag I would argue. England will be gutted, Strauss led a chase like no other and deserved the win. Also Tim Bresnan, first with five wickets and then
“The way they started I definitely am happy with a tie,” says Dhoni. “When they were 2 down the way they were going the bowlers were finding it very tough. Zak changed it around for us he is a different bowler if you try and come at him it’s very difficult. It could count as a win in the points table at the end.”
Yes and no, really,” answers Strauss to whether he is happy with the result. “We were in a great position and then had a shocking Powerplay. After that we were lucky and grateful for Swann and Shahzad to getting us to the tie. We’re happy and devastated at the same time but privileged to play in a game like this.”
Strauss is rightly named man of the match, “it’s the best innings I’ve played.” Indeed.
@ superBul:356 – Super, that game against Oz at Wanderers was something really special. Nothing can beat it. BUT this is in India, not many can chase that total. Must have been a cracker. Pity I missed seeing it.
Hope we can Super. Our Batsmen sometimes are letting us down. Always feel once our tope order go that is it for us. So just hoping.
When do we play either of these teams. I see the fixture about but can’t get into see it. Otherwise will check on SuperSport. They have the fixtures as well.
@ Puma:tope = top
