I don't know why the fans in the crowd who have things like pictures of the players stuck on to cardboard amuse me, but they do.

 

I think it's because I can picture them at home the night before the game with a Pritstick and a pair of children's scissors getting ready for the game.

Ok - that guy who's made a picture that you put your face in (James Acaster reference) with half the Indian team is my new favourite.

Such an incredible performance from India after their terrible start to be even close to the target.

 

Brilliant few overs left

From England's point of view (IF they beat Aus) I'm hoping for a NZ win. But for cricket's sake I am cheering on India. Amazing game either way.

This is starting to remind me of the NZ run chase from the other day where Kane looked like he was moving way too slow the whole innings, with the required run rate not moving from 10 an over right up til the last over. 

 

Then he just belted a six first ball of the last over.

Got to target the Neesham over

The hope that kills you. 

It really is. 

What an innings from Jadeja. Had to go for it but holed out.

 

A valiant fightback but all in vain.

 

I really had hope we were going to do it... 

[UniFox21]

Can someone enlighten me on why dhoni is being raved about, with Jadeaja  (spelling) is being passed on after a brilliant innings?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Dead eye.

He's a class finisher when chasing an innings. Successful rate of doing so over the years. 

 

Last couple of years he's got a record though of slowing it up and then going big nearer the end. Not sure why but maybe it's to do with his own fitness or power. 

[ScouseFox]

yeeee

[AKCJ]

Magic from Ferguson. Absolutely brilliant.

 

Many would have folded after Dhoni hit that 6.

[AKCJ]

THERES PEOPLE LEAVING?!?!?!

 

 

[foxfanazer]

What was better, the catch or the run out? I suppose the run out is more down to chance (probably not actually) 

[trabuch]

Fire drill at OT
