20/20 World Cup

that's it game over India will win without raising a sweat now.(td) Going to watch the 2nd half of the football

I think they should check for irregular betting patterns - Gayle looked like a non trier
Gayle made no effort to hit boundaries or make his ground in the run out!

106-5 in 18...should be India's to lose with the batting they have...WI never got going even with Gayle dropped TWICE and then Mishra got 2 in 2 balls to knock them back further...

the WIndies spinners will have to win it now for them

Good last over but can't see the Indians being contained to less than 130.

And just when you though that India were on top, they concede 21 in the last over...small chance for WI as they have two very good spinners in Badree and Narine and the wicket seems to have slowed down...110-115 and India were a certainty...129 is an in-between score...15-20 less than what WI could have got and 15-20 more than India expected to concede...going to enjoy the chase...

Same pitch the Paki's got 190 and Aussie's 170 plus. Can't see 130 being any bother.

Wear on wicket means that par was +150 even accounting for slightly poor WI batting...and India would prefer to chase +115 that WI looked like getting for much of their inning until the last over...so, in my mind a score where neither team is entirely satisfied...still expect India to get it 9/10 times...

Broad fined re his comments about the umpires. Obviously his daddy was not around this time to protect him

40 or 60 overs will hardly wear the pitch. Very seldom would you say that in an ODI that there would be a 40 or 50 run difference from batting first or second because of wear. India certainly are not making this looks like a 150 pitch. Pitch is still a 170 wicket.

Agreed...I was wrong...just couldn't understand how below bar WI were...so looked at wicket being possible cause...

India to get the 130 in a canter...
