Other International Cricket

Watched thew last 2 sessions of the Pakistan v Sri Lanka game and thought the umpiring was fantastic.

Test Cricket does not need draws if results can be achieved and I thought umpire Kettleborough was fantastic in keeping play going.

It was obvious Sri Lanka were trying everything they could to slow the game down and force a draw and too be honest I thought it was in very poor taste.

Sri Lanka only have themselves to blame scoring 19 runs in the last 16.4 overs when batting conditions were still good is pathetic and does nothing to bring crowds through the gates.

Nup, need consistency around the globe.

What a run chase by India today in their ODI against NZ.
NZ made 314 and India after being 6/184 looked dead and buried but Ashwin with 65 off 46 balls put them back in with a chance. With 1 wicket in hand and 18 required off last over, NZ looked home but Jadeja with 66* n.o. off 45 balls got them to a TIE with a few wides and a boundry, 12 were needed of last 3 balls. A 4 followed by a 6 had them needing 2 off the last ball. Only a single was got to see a tie. Great game of cricket

Don't reckon you could really tell from the replay whether he touched the line conclusively, On your bike Dhoni.

Good to see one of the Big Three given a pantsing by the little guys.

Not by me
In any case The George did it in a ODI , where toss decisions are mostly inconsequential
Dhoni did it in a Test match , which is not a clever thing to do

PS
Agree with TSG and Dark Knight
Can the mod change the title of this thread to International Cricket
