Another drop for me... This is 2011 all over again

That drop makes me question a very simple field placing. Why do captains tell fielders on the boundary to walk in rapidly before the ball is bowled? When I used to play cricket I often got told by team captains to stand 3/4 of the way in from the boundary - why? It doesn't stop the single nor does it prevent the ball sailing over your head when hit hard. It's always easier to run in to take a catch rather than go backwards. If the fielder was on the rope it was straight to him. Odd.

Negative captains prefer to prevent 2s than take wickets

A quick fielder on the boundary should prevent 2 most times regardless - if the ball is hit hard enough as a boundary shot. It takes a very skilled batsman to hit the ball slower and get 2.

Didn't Kohli go after Dawan with a bread knife a few weeks ago? Now, Dawan must be waiting with a salad fork.

WTF is an “expected bounce in India”? Where? At what time of the year? From which bowler? Commentators annoying me now

Rayna scores briskly. Pakstan needs some mad hitting from Afridi to win tonight.

Kohli playing for his ton.

Fantasy points at least

We need 320+ for sure. Batting under the lights big game could be tricky.

India have been reserved in Powerplay... Surprising considering they've still got 8 wickets in hand

I guess they were waiting on Raina to settle in a bit. He has settled now and could see that cricket ball as football. Raina can run away with this game if he get tht knock.

Need to see if Sohail can be a our death bowling expert.

PK bowlers have done well in power play. Maybe it's India's deceptive strategy to attack after power play!!!
