Namaste,
Someday the USA will make it. But for now it's just baseball in this country :)
India is my team, but if they don't win then I'm going for the West Indies. Go Chanderpaul! Great player and a Guyanese native!!

Vannakkam: I just figured out why this place seems inactive. England and India are having the match of the century at this very moment. At lest half of HDF is watching. :)

Re: 2011 Cricket World Cup
Namaste,
What a great match! I slept through a little, but still caught most of it. Definitely the most exciting cricket match I've ever seen, not that I've seen that many. I really thought India would have held on for the win, but those three sixes and 28 runs in the final two overs were disappointing. Another brilliant performance for Tendulkar, but Strauss outdid him for the Brits.

namaste,
I watched the Indian innings and went to bed at 7 am thinking okay england can't catch up this score. I will wake up to read the news India won but what the heck...
I missed the England innings...What happened with Ian Bell's out decision? He was out but umpires decided he wasn't even when the review system said that he was out? what kind of nonsense is that?

I was watching the match and also on HDF at the same time doing some administration. :)
Re: 2011 Cricket World Cup
Vannakkam: What fans won't do when the game is on! My grade 8,9 teacher shut down classes for us back in the days when the World Series was held in the afternoons. My cousin and I REALLY appreciated for two reasons: We loved baseball AND there was no school. The rest of my classmates just pretended to like baseball.

It was complete garbage, but apparently the rule is that since he advanced more that 2.5 meters down from the wicket, they can't go by what the replay technology says since its "inconclusive" :mad:
He only had 17 when that happened also, so it could have saved over 50 runs..

This looks like some sort of setup don't you think? Looks like someone put a lot of money in their mouth and came up with this stupid decision. I am surprised the crowd didn't have a riot over it.
