Oh dear.

If we finish top, our quarter final will be in NZ? Not sure I fancy that, especially if it's against England
It will be in MCG. Only one quarter is in NZ and NZ get to play there being host country. SL get SCG. Australia Adelaide. Even if it is Bangladesh instead of England, it will still be MCG.

Cant believe that was given out.

If only there was some sort of technology that uses heat or something to see what actually touches :| ...

Match looking interesting. Will leave from office in 5-10 min so as to catch the climax. Another Indian wicket before hitting 100 run mark and WI will have a good chance.

Agreed.

Dhoni needs to see this through. The run rate isnt even high so they are causing their own pressure. Just run a few here and there and look for lose balls for boundaries. Nothing stupid needed.

Am glad we are in this position.. gives a run out to the lower order.. and if they are to fail.. they better now than straight in a knockout.

Pressure on India. Dhoni needs to see this through with somebody, but agreed, this is a good thing to happen. Better in group stages than in knockouts.

Didn't get the Windies tactics at the end there. Strange the seamers weren't bowled!

That win helps our chances to make the knock-out stage. As long as we beat Ireland and don't get hammered by South Africa, it should see us through.

Shouldn't have used Samuels.. Once he was given the ball, the pressure was released for us.. Anyway good win, may not be pretty but got the job done. Our lower order needs batting practice though, that shot by Jadeja was atrocious..

Nasir has been dropped!! Thank God!!

Not sure why Younis is back. Good luck to Sarfraz, first game at the WC and he'll be facing Steyn & buddies.

Very good start. Sarfraz has played well so far, I like how he's rotated the strike.

Would be terrific if we manage to win this game!
